    The Seasonal Goat with Sweet Citrus
    Albert P.

    I went once. I went twice. I'll see them THRICE. I didn't know what to think, seemed like a Healthy option for lunch, but the portions for the salads are hefty, and they are more than delicious, I didn't want the bowl to end. Both of these salads were top notch, and their Guava Lemonade was also spectacular. My first time here, the young lady came from around the counter and even went over the menu with me, which was very nice. The restaurant was clean, and staff even came by to take my bowl when I wad finished.

    The Farm Club
    Ernesto M.

    The Farm Club was amazing, I loved it- Potato salad was good although I prefer it chunkier than creamier, the texture was a bit smooth for my taste. My wife got the Not So Fried chicken sandwich which she loves. We got my two year old the PB&J, I didn't know it came toasted which was a bit of an issue for her. All in all the food was great, quality ingredients on quality ingredients. This is a spot for a quick but quality bite, the dining room is small with more seating on the outside patio, plenty of parking around the back.

    1/2 Turkey Avo Salsa Verde & tomato basil soup
    Jamie M.

    I had the special which was a half Turkey avo salsa sandwich and tomato basil soup. You can also get a half sandwich and salad or a small side too, but I opted for soup for about $1 more. The soup was good, but I've had better tomato basil soup elsewhere. I might not order it again here. Again, it wasn't bad though! I love the turkey avo salsa sandwich. It's so packed with flavor. This is a really nice location with plenty of seating, lighting, and parking. It's next to a Starbucks, so I got a little coffee after as an afternoon pick-me-up. I would return to this location! Service was also very friendly and on top of it! Food came out almost immediately after ordering. We barely waited. What a great lunch.

    Came to this one for the first time and the location was very convenient and staff was welcoming and friendly. Always fresh food from Mendocino Farms and this spot definitely exceeds! Great seating selection too!

    The Modern Caesar
    Angella M.

    Mendocino Farms truly takes pride in their customer service and in making sure guests feel satisfied and happy. Overall, the food was absolutely fresh and delicious, as always. Customer service stood out -- everyone was so kind and genuinely willing to serve, which is greatly appreciated. The ambiance was inviting, and it's easy to see why this place is a lunch favorite. It was definitely packed when I went, yet the wait time was little to none. Great job to the kitchen and staff. I also really enjoy how clean and well-maintained the restaurant is. Consistently a great experience.

    Not So Fried Chicken ($17)! Arguably the best sandwich place that is consistent at all locations. I ordered a different bread this time around but think I'll stick to their main one.

    Chicken Pesto Caprese

    This location is nice and the patio is peaceful and nice, well, except for the traffic noise. The food is delicious here and the service is friendly here

    The Modern Caesar Wrap

    Loved the Caesar salad wrap, very big and filling! Quick service and food came out pretty fast. Large space

    We recently ordered lunch for our office from this location of Mendocino Farms. Both salads were fresh and good. Sandwiches were okay. Would be better if the onions were kept separate. Everything had way too much onions in them. Cookies are the best. Chocolate chips and oatmeal raisin cookies were so fresh and chewy. 5/5 on these cookies!

    I was excited to see so many vegan options but wondering if maybe some are mislabeled? There was a vegan 'cream' of tomato soup and a vegan pesto side dish that had cheese. Does anyone know which items are 100% vegan and not just vegetarian?

    Not sure about the vegan sides as that's not on the menu here in the restaurant I'm sitting at. VG is Just vegetarian so those will have dairy (cheese). V items are vegan and yummy! Ask when ordering.

Our salmon roll came super cold and the rice paper was hard- they probably premade this and just had it sitting in the fridge. Also, warning- none of these had sauce inside the wraps. They came undressed, basically just plain ingredients wrapped in a cold tortilla and the portion was much smaller than expected. I mean, you'll feel healthy and light after eating these but don't think it's worth going out of your way to get. Came in with low expectations bc we knew Gwyneth likes her stuff HEALTHY so we kinda knew they would skimpy with seasoning or flavor, wanted to keep an open mind, but it was disappointing after seeing all the positive reviews on social media.

From the…read moremoment you step inside, you are greeted by an adorable interior and decor that cleverly and beautifully matches the restaurant's theme. ​ ​Every single item we ordered from the menu was exceptional: ​Beet Salad & Bone Marrow: Both made for fantastic starters, setting a high bar for the meal. ​Beef Tartare: Served with house-made potato chips that are a masterclass in texture--thin, fried, airy, and crispy all at the same time. ​Steak and Fries: Classic execution and wonderfully prepared. ​Duck Confit: Superb. The pairing of the rich mole sauce and sweet potato puree takes the dish to an entirely different level, complementing each other effortlessly. ​Baklava Cheesecake: A creative and delicious twist on a classic. The cream cheese filling is light rather than dense, and instead of a traditional graham cracker crust, it features a fantastic baklava crust. It is nicely balanced and not overly sweet, though you will definitely want to pair it with a cup of coffee to finish it off. ​ ​Service: The staff is exceptionally friendly, highly attentive, and organized, making you feel well cared for throughout the meal. ​Portions: Portions are slightly on the smaller side. My husband and I ordered three appetizers and two main entrees to share, and we were still quite hungry by the end--so you may want to order an extra dish or side if you have a hearty appetite! ​Overall, a wonderful dining experience with incredible flavors and charming ambiance. Highly recommended!

There are plenty of seats outside with some shade, but only a handful of tables inside. It's in a plaza with various other shops, so parking is very accessible. Food didn't take too long, I think we got our food after 10 minutes or so of waiting. Honestly the presentation is solid. I got The Bowl Bowl, and my friends ordered the chicken wrap, Newport Bowl, and we shared Za'atar and sweet potato fries. The bowls came with a citrus sauce, but we had to order extra garlic and chili sauce on the side for the wrap and fries. The fries with sauce were honestly sooo good. The sweet potato fries had this amazing soft texture and it melted in your mouth, the sweetness paired nicely with the sharp garlic sauce. The Za'atar fries were well seasoned and had a nice crisp. They give you a good amount for the price! I personally enjoyed The Bowl Bowl, the quinoa mixed with fresh corn, big chunks of sweet potato (I think they would have been better cut smaller), avocado, their grilled chicken, and chips. I mixed it with the sauce and additional toum and thought it was a perfect post-workout bowl. Hefty, nutritious, and good for the cost ($15). I tried a bit of the Newport Bowl and it was basically a regular salad bowl, nothing special and in my opinion - not worth the price. You're better off trying a more varied bowl or wrap. The chicken wrap was fine, there were some pickled veggies that added a good crunch. The main reason why I'm hesitant to come here again (besides the fries) is that the chicken was quite dry in all of these dishes, and it didn't really have a prominent char or flavor/smell that would indicate it's been charcoal grilled. I do want to try this place again when it's not as busy, basically to see if the chicken quality holds up to other reviews.

The place was buzzin on Saturday afternoon which I immediately took as a good sign. It was an extremely hot day (cue Cali heat wave) and standing inside the restaurant didn't help. No AC and hot open kitchen made for a sweaty time. Ordered an Ai Pono Poke bowl and Roots plate to-go. Our total was $38 between the two items. Got home in about 25 mins and immediately dug in. For a $16 poke bowl, I guess I was expecting a bit more fish. Also, the rice had a sour ish taste (according to me). The Roots plate quantity was solid but the short rib was very chewy. Definitely a preference thing but chewy short rib is not my jam. The flavors were good though. There wasn't much of a service aspect to our experience cause we took our meal to go. Unfortunately was a bit disappointed as the food didn't hit the mark but very open to trying again in the future.
