I saw my old review and wow it has been awhile since I updated this post. The place doesn't disapoint. Let me count the ways, 1) The place always has a super upbeat vibe with locals, entertainment types, plastic surgery victims and wonderful service from folks that have been there forever. 2) The menu is quite different and while the dishes seem unusual with many ingriedients they get it right more then they don't. 3) The market and bakery stuff is 1st rate and to say the least. 4) I will always remember during the pandemic this place was a spot where they had essentials to survice and not just produce, market products and things like TP/paper towels and just basics. The kept the community alive. So, we has our partner lunch there today and just one note, really to myself. Not the biggest fan of the jidori chicken salad. Why you ask? The lettuce in the salad comes in rough stalks and while it looks pretty one actually has to cut it up and probably need a kitchen knife to do the trick. My partners had the liver mousse, the amazing looking cauliflower soup and the grain bowl. They loved it. We finished with the chocolate chip cookie and bunch or coffee or chai offerings. Oh..big celebrity sighting and happy to see Gilmore looking like Gilmore as usual. Nobody bothered him as that is what we expect in Brentwood. read more

My friend was visiting and she reserved this place for us to have lunch on a Monday at 1:30 pm. It was extremely busy, and despite us having reservations we still had a 10-15 min wait. It was also quite pricey but, I suppose when a farm to table experience is what you're supposed to get, they can charge quite expensive prices. The food itself was good. We ordered the chickpea fritters, the fried artichokes, and octopus ceviche. I wasn't wowed by anything but the fried artichoke app was probably my favorite. The chickpea fritters were my least favorite. It just felt bland to me. Overall, it was an okay experience but for the prices, I would expect better food. It wasn't my vibe. Luckily there're are plenty of other places to eat outside and around, which would have probably been a better option to eat. There are also lots of cute shops around, so if d definitely one back to the area again but, I probably wouldn't eat here. read more

I had the pastrami sandwich. Good kraut and bread; nicely toasted. I really liked the cole slaw as it was very unique. Pickle was adequate. I had a metal straw for my ice tea which I had never seen before. I guess both paper and plastic are out of favor. The olives and feta were a giant disappointment. The olives had little flavor and the feta had no flavor. Worst feta ever. Beautiful people eating okay food in Brentwood. I was a stranger in a strange land but I accomplished my mission. read more

Went for brunch. The food was good but nothing extraordinary in my opinion. The plating was pretty but the egg dishes were just ok tasting. The ambiance is always fun; casual but high end. The service is great. The salted butter was incredible and the espresso martini was perfect. Not too sweet as i requested. Park in the lot for a small fee. read more

I went with a group of friends who all loved their meal. I ordered a glass of wine, the Hamachi starter and the salmon for the main dish. The wine was great, the salmon was delicious and the Hamachi starter was ok. Service was also ok but it seemed like they were understaffed. The host was great and so was our server. He did his best to serve us in a timely manner. The manager checked in on us once but we had a mishap with him when it came to paying our bill. He managed to make everything work out in our favor but that was only when we asked to speak with him. Overall it was a good experience. read more

We had a later at night dinner visit to Farmshop after an event at the bookstore in the same center. The place was packed on a Thursday night but we still got seated fairly quickly. The host and our server were super friendly and seemed genuinely happy that we were there. There is a lot to choose from on the menu for us vegetarians, but we weren't too hungry so we just got the Silvia Brussels Sprouts which were delicious na beautiful with the pretty leaves adorning the top of the dish, and the Smashed Yukon Gold Potatoes. We loved these so much! We had never heard of chermoula before. It's a delicious North African marinade that informed the flavor of this dish...it reinvented potato flavors for us and we couldn't stop thinking about it (and salivating) for days after eating them. There are a number of other things we could have ordered had we been hungrier and their cocktails looked AMAZING (if only I wasn't driving...next time, Farmshop.) I wish they had a spot near Santa Clarita where we lived, but next time we're in Brentwood or at an event at the nearby bookstore, it'll be a no-brainer to go back to Farmshop again! read more

forgot I was towing the poverty line... until I walked up in here. Put me riiiiight back in my place. LOL Okay so let ya girl set the scene: My rich friend "Alex" was meeting his lawyer here for lunch to discuss RPTs (Rich People Things). I was starving but broke so I posted up at Starbucks 200 feet away like the humble peasant I am. After their RPT meeting wrapped, Alex slides over like, "u hungry? Come eat here." I'm thinking, okay Cool We walk in-- It's like Erewhon had a restaurant baby. Cute. Minimal. Def a smoove tax bracket above me. Perhaps a few. There's two parts: 1. The hot bar 2. The table-service area Both have communal tables, which I hate. How am I supposed to gossip with Alex while Martha & Robert giving us side-eye over their broccolini? IMPOSSIBLE aF We try to sit, but the hostess (owner? vibe manager?) looked like we interrupted her afternoon nap. She let us know the "real" restaurant was closed but we could still grab drinks and at the communal table. awkwardly bond with strangers? ehhhhhh... But I wander over to the hot bar, thinking Alex is behind me. Plot twist: he is NOT. I was only here because I thought he was covering it! Bruuuhhhh wtf am I even here, then? I'da stayed by broke ass at Starbucks with my $4 coffee and dignity intact. Bruuuhhh. I knew couldn't afford to breathe in here when i walked in!! Real wood finishes, generational wealth sipping mid-tier rosé on a $20 Valet parking Bruh it's Monday at 2pm!! but my pride wouldn't lemme turn back!!! Ya girl, I was in too deep. Couldn't walk away empty-handed. And look like the broke homie was only there cuz i thought the rich homie was paying EVEN THOUGH I WAS having rich homies is a very delicate dance, my friends. Very delicate indeed. So i'm looking at these Hot bar by the pound prices that are straight-up hedge fund level disrespectful. I wasn't about to ask for a piece of fish and a dollop of mashed potatoes and be hit with $27.65? Be serious. I needed a price i could see with my eyes and not guess with my poverty mind. Ended up settling for a $15 dry, flavorless fried chicken burrito that the "chef" reheated for all of three seconds. It came out lukewarm.... like this punk ass experience. I turned to Alex and said, "Let's walk and talk. I can't do this." His rich ass didn't know why we left but he didn't question me. #TrueFriendship Would I come back? Absolutely: Prolly not. Here's why: - Parking is trash - Hostess (owner) had weird vibes - cold burrito - Communal tables (nope) - absurd prices Look, I get it--it's Rich People Things. But one day when I'm rich, I'm still not getting played like this. At least poverty me doesn't think so but who know. ima prolly act brand new lol read more

We stopped in on a Friday around noon without a reservation and the hostess was able to accommodate us with the caveat that there was a reservation exactly on the hour after us. The farm chic spot was bustling at lunch. The food is beautifully plated and equally yummy. We started with octopus ceviche and chickpea fritters. We shared a chopped salad and pastrami sandwich. Everything was fresh and quite tasty. Can't wait to go back. read more

I used to eat at this place for many years, but just went back after awhile - it's really gone downhill and the new people at reception / manager are so officious and rude. Sorry I went back. There are many other places you can pay $26 for an omelette. I wouldn't go to this one. read more

5 Stars - A Perfect Experience from Start to Finish! I took my mom here for Mother's Day and we had the best time! The ambiance and hospitality were top-notch--warm, welcoming, and effortlessly chic. The adjacent shop is fabulous and full of beautifully curated finds. We were pampered with roses and dessert, and every bite of our meal was incredible. We started with a blood orange spritz and the artichoke appetizer--delicious! I had the angry crab with squid ink pasta, and my mom had the short rib with bone marrow--both were outstanding. The menu is fresh, creative, and full of flavor. Can't wait to come back! Highly recommend for any occasion (or any excuse to treat yourself). read more

Farmshop has been over for well over ten years, and my sorry self finally made its way over on a random Tuesday. What brought me here specifically was the fact a coffee shop I like stopped carrying their delicious chocolate croissants. After some poking around, I discovered the coffee place had them brought in from here. This made me very happy since I knew where I could find a reliable croissant. Turning onto 26th St. from San Vicente, I dreaded seeing the valet umbrellas in the lot so I noticed some metered parking on both sides of the street. Hopefully you're lucky where you will find one on your side; as turning around on this busy street will be tough during peak hours. I think .25 cents earns you 12 minutes (which is great compared to say, BH or West Hollywood) and I made my way down a random pathway, thankfully seeing signs for Farmshop. I had to wait in a small line but I didn't mind this as it gave me time to check things out. Beside me was prepared food that looked Really good, while the pastries and such in front of me didn't help. A nice guy helped me out with my order of oat milk cocoa and what I originally came in for. My name was called a few minutes later for my drink and I was on my way. Passing through the sit down restaurant area up front, there was a large amount of people in this area, and there might have been a patio outside through another door. As for what I purchased, I enjoyed everything, especially the cocoa which was actually HOT! I would consider coming back here due to a great first experience, even with the dreaded parking situation, the food was worth it. read more

My first time here and I was so spoiled by my friends. We got the large portion of caviar to share. 9/10. the caviar could have been better(?) like a bit more poppy.

Everyone that works in the bakery is so kind and accommodating. I love this place and they made my drink perfect!

The market is beautiful, full of high-end food items requiring varying levels of preparation. Priced accordingly given the prime location in Brentwood/Santa Monica. Even for a Thursday lunch, Farmshop requires a reservation and our early arrival has us waiting for our table. Only half the tables were occupied at any given time so I would have appreciated it if they offered us a seat with some water right then. The food is good. Great ingredients in a fresh and earthy Avocado Hummus. Perfect on crispy strips of lavash, best when shared. The House Made Pastrami is an entree, a great little rye and tender meat combo with a side of slaw. Good, straightforward food, stuff you'll feel good eating. You'll leave full, not stuffed, at a cost that is not unsubstantial. A lovely place for a treat but a bit too luxe for a regular stop. read more

We have eaten at Farmshop many times over the years, it has been one of our favorites, and have often come there specifically for the Sunday night chicken dinner. We were very disappointed recently to see how the pre fixe chicken dinner has been downgraded in quality and quantity and increased in price in the post-COVID era. In the past we received a generous bowl of fried chicken for 2 people (usually enough that we took a couple pieces home), plus a delicious generously sized salad, a warm vegetable side of some kind, and choice of dessert for each person. This time (September 8 2024) the portion of chicken for 2 people was smaller than it was in the past, barely enough for 2 people, the sides were both small cold salads instead of a nice salad and a warm vegetable, and dessert was not included. Instead of a special dinner, now it's just a very ordinary but expensive dinner. We will not be going back for the fried chicken dinner. read more

I just had my birthday brunch here for a group of ten and the service was genuinely terrible. The waiters would leave us with drink menus but never circled back to get our orders. We'd have to flag down other waiters to get our drink orders in. It also took a long time for the entrees to arrive. And there were additional charges, I was not expecting (e.g, a 7% admin fee). The food and drinks were delicious but honestly the service was quite poor and I would hesitate to go back. I do not recommend this restaurant for groups larger than 4. Sadly, their waitstaff is not trained to handle large groups efficiently. Look elsewhere for your group meal... read more

We just had the best experience in the world with Amer at Farm Shop! We were desperate for peanut butter cookies for a VIP client!

Now that's unbelievable service and hospitality! Legendary! 10 stars! read more

Absolutely in love with this place. Can't wait to come back. After being in my bookmarks for years I finally checked it out with my husband. The restaurant serves great quality delicious food. We ordered a fish plate and loved everything about it. My huevos rancheros was finger licking delicious. The service was great and so was the ambiance Now the market side ... WOW just WOW ... the cheese selection here is amazing. I got to purchase cheese that I have been wanting to try and haven't come across at any other stores. The variety of crackers, jams, tapenades, chocolates, wines, pasta, sauces and much more is wonderful. The bakery is filled with freshly baked goodies such as muffins, croissants, cookies, scones, sourdough bread, etc.... Really hard to chose one.... They service coffee and iced drinks too. The deli has ready made sandwiches and salads to go which I will try the next time I'm here. Great ambiance Great food Great secure. Great place to check out while in the area. read more

I have not tried the restaurant but just will say they have the best pastry options on the westside! They literally have like 20 options including gluten free selections and everything is so tasty! My favorites are the ricotta cake and the banana walnut loaf. They also have mini grocer section which has some unique high quality options. Also some good potential gifts for the foodies in your life! My only qualm is that i am not a big fan of their matcha. read more

If grandma approves of Farmshop, then I approve of Farmshop. This establishment has been around for a while and each time I've had anything here, I've always left satisfied! The last time I came here, was a couple of Saturdays ago, for dinner for 6. We started with Avocado Hummus, Curried Cauliflower Soup, and Crispy Artichokes, followed by Angry Crab Saffron Torchio Pasta, Snake River Farms Eye of Ribeye, and Scallops. For dessert, we ended with what I believe was a green tea, or matcha Merengue and something else that was ultra delicious with dollops of Crème Fraîche on the sides. The only issue here is that Farmshop is definitely a pricy restaurant, so even if I wanted to order more, I couldn't. Is it worth the price? I absolutely think so. Everything tasted so fresh, full of flavor, and unique. Even the cocktail we ordered was delicious. I can't say I recommend anything more than another because everything is phenomenal! The ambiance is perfect for a family meal, friends gathering, special event, or date night/day. It's cute and rustic, with a small market right inside the restaurant where you can get fresh groceries. Their service is also great. We ordered a LOT of food, and asked lots of questions, etc. Our waiter was nothing but kind, patient, and helpful each step of the way! I can't wait to come back to Farmshop again, hopefully soon! read more

Location Love the is area! Farmshop is super cute. Nestled inside an old school style shopping plaza with a bunch of fun boutiques and branded stores and even a Post Office and Bank. All you need is one corner of shops! Parking It can be tricky so be patient on holidays weekends and other high times. It's $10 without validation, $5 with validation and street metered parking if you're lucky. Pricing It's Brentwood, expect high costs! Service Friendly waiter, approachable staff, highly recommend a reservation especially if you're not trying to sit at a communal table. Food Got the spicy pasta with crab and sausage and yum! Got the spicy pesto on the side. Tasty. Also got some toasted sourdough with sea salt butter. This cost $53. Not sure it's worth that, but again Brentwood is pricey and real estate is prime and ambience is great so likely paying for that! Cute little shop within the shop and restaurant. Tons of cheese and jams and fun options! The vibe is chill, not too loud. Great for business mtgs or catching up with friends. read more

i got the matcha latte and it was very watery and not strong at all (can tell from the color). i wish they added more matcha to the latte and there was an added fee if you want to sweeten it... definitely not worth $7.50. i got the cookie which was huge and reasonable for the $4.50 price. it was good but not my all time favorite. read more

Depression organic. Visually repugnant, with flavor to match. The pastrami tasted of boot leather. Brined ham smothered in seasoning so aggressive it descends into culinary sabotage. At least the Splenda masked the bitter taste of burnt coffee. read more
