    BBQ sandwich
    Kevin T.

    My daughter loves the Chicken Farro soup. We think the sandwiches are so tasty and fresh. The place is always busy. And it's hard to find parking.

    Cashier/ menu

    First time trying Mendocino Farms and I was highly satisfied!!! I heard a lot of hype about it, since I love Salads I had to try it!! I ordered the modern Caesar salad without tomatoes and onion. This was a good pick because it was very delicious! The salad was a good size and I added chicken and it was so tasty and healthy. I like how they already have avocados with the salads and the krunchies they put on my salad was so bomb! I was not sure if it was breaded or what but definitely added a touch to the salad. I'm going to come back to order this again and their soup. The employee let me try the lemon chicken farro soup and OMG ingredients were on point! Next time I'll get that and half of a sandwich, which they have so many good selections to choose from. The service was 5/5 for me the cashier and the other guy who was working was phenomenal. I didn't get their names but they were patient and very amicable. They gave good suggestions for my mom and me since it was our first time. Very easy going and no complaints with whatever we needed as we dined in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was perfect! Nice location, located in the Vineyards at Porter ranch. It's Modern inside and pretty clean!!! The decor is very cute as well. I like the turf grass they have on the back of the seatings on the booths![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very reasonable and good quality food! I love how they put fan of the day on the wall by the register. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I even noticed they have crayons and coloring paper for kids.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will def be back! My mom loved her salad as well! -Marshay D.

    Baja Green Goddess Wrap
    Ashley M.

    Came in last night to grab pick up. Order was ready and waiting for me when I got there. The parking at this plaza is horrible though, we can never find parking. One person always has to go grab food while the other drives around But food was delicious! I tried a wrap this time and wow Im so sad that was the first time I tried it lol will definitely be back for that!

    Came here for lunch today and it was such an easy, breezy experience! Ordering was simple, and we were able to grab seats inside without any trouble. Our food came out pretty quickly too, which is always a win. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is super relaxed you've got the option to sit inside or outside, which I loved.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I will say, it's a bit smaller than I expected on the inside, but it still felt cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Now for the food I tried the Peruvian steak and wow it was packed with flavor and had a nice little kick that I was totally into. The chicken pesto Caprese wasn't really my favorite, but the pesto sauce itself was actually really good. My second fave had to be the chimichurri steak and bacon so tasty, and I loved that it came on a sesame roll.

    I stopped by here on the way to meet some friends, it was around 330 pm on a Friday when I arrived. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It wasn't to busy inside when I went to order my food, maybe a few people ahead of me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I assumed my to go sandwich would be ready relatively quick, I was wrong.. it took about 20+ minutes for them to make a gluten free sandwich. It also took a bit longer than expected because they burnt the toast the first time making it and the manager told me he would have them remake it and handed me a drink cup for the inconvenience. **service is extremely slow. Quality of food is good, made to order. Fresh ingredients. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside has plenty of seating and an outdoor patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Big parking lot with other restaurants around.

    Thai Mango Salad
    Ed K.

    I've had ordered from Mendocino Farms many times, but mostly from its DTLA locations. I ordered the Thai mango salad, and it was delicious! It was my first time trying it the other day, and I'd order again next time. The cashier who served us was extremely kind and welcoming. He even told me and my partner to help ourselves to the juice, as it was hot day outside. That was generous. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was generally clean, but some tables still had leftover food and used napkins from previous customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wished they'd clean up tables and floors more often to give better ambience for sit-in customers like myself that day. I'd come back to eat again here next time!

    Prosciutto & Chicken and Chimichurri Steak & Bacon
    Malou T.

    I was really curious about this place so I've decided to try it for the first time. Was disappointed. I thought it was too expensive for what I got. However when I was there I saw a whole bunch of people coming in to eat there. So am not quite sure if my standards were set too high. Service was very slow. Food was mediocre in my honest opinion. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was ok for a fast grab and go place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But they do have out door dining area which was quite nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will I come here again most probably not. I would much rather go to the Italian market deli behind Trader Joe's on Balboa and San Fernando mission. This place feels flat.

    Chicken Pesto Caprese
    Katherine P.

    Fresh sandwiches and salad at all casual elevated level. I got the Peruvian steak sandwich and my sister in law got the caprese. Both made fresh and were absolutely tasty. Order at the counter, get your number and find a table and then they bring out your food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff was friendly and there was lots of seating both inside and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One sandwich came out a little bit later than the other but it tasted freshly made so wasn't complaining. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant is located in a busy shopping center so that's the downside as you may have circle around a few times until a space opens up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Chimichurri Steak & Bacon
    Gianni M.

    First time customer of Mendocino and honestly. The food was amazing. (Expensive) but unbelievably fresh and delicious but more than the food [[HIGHLIGHT]]the vibe was down to earth and really clean I liked the entire ambiance of the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But unlike most good, clean places this one has 1 feature that most places miss. The cashier (Younger guy) was the most optimistic, happy, genuine person I have met in a long time, it's rare in LA you find somebody who loves what they do. This guy gets it. He made the entire thing for me. Watching him interact with every single customer and greet them and help them find the best option was my favorite part. Bringing it home. 5 out of 5 but because of him. It deserves a 6. Great job

    Kristine H.

    Great sandwiches and delicious juices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was packed, but there's plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ordering is easy; just scan the QR code at your table, enter the number on your receipt, and they'll bring the food right to you.

    Thai Mango Salad
    Nooshi B.

    The Thai Mango Salad (no mango for me), is one of my favorite salads, ever. It's beautiful, fresh and the flavors work so well together. It's hearty and the chicken is so good. Service was super friendly and they went out for their way to make sure we had everything we needed. I will definitely be back.

    Second time here but today is my last. Woman taking the order barely speaks English. Also drops cookie on counter taking it out of package container. Didn't want to cause a scene. Cookie looks like a Costco package. $3 something for a cookie. Shells small amount couldn't even dig in the palm of my hand it's less than you would give a baby. Food took so long and barely any avocado. Requested no tomatoes yet had some.

    My customized turkey-bacon-goat cheese sandwich.
    Lianne K.

    After a doctor's appointment in the west Valley, Dear Hubby and I debated about what to eat for dinner. I wasn't that hungry, and he said that he was starving. We went back & forth on what kind of food, and where to go. I suggested Mendocino Farms, as that would be new for us at The Vineyards since our last visit there. I was also in the mood for a tasty sandwich. The exterior of this new location for them is very appealing. The interior, not at much. It's actually very bland / generic inside. It almost looks like they never received the interior decor package from their corporate designer since they opened. By contrast, other locations we've been to, including Westlake Village, and Marina Del Rey, have very visually interesting interiors. That being said, we sat outside on their smallish patio, overlooking a hidden garden area at the corner of Rinaldi Street & Porter Ranch Drive. It's a shared outdoor space that's beyond the formal patio areas of Mendocino Farms and Lure Fish House. It made for a restful place to enjoy our meal. The young lady taking orders was delightful. She assured us that one of the best things about their menu is that you can mix and match, substituting to get just the ingredients that you want, especially on the sandwiches. I had the pickled onions removed and added goat cheese to my turkey / bacon sandwich, and went with toasted sourdough instead of harvest wheat bread. It was delicious! At first, I thought that it seemed small when the order arrived, especially on the metal trays they use to deliver the in-house meals. There aren't any sides or chips included. That makes each sandwich on the expensive side @about $15 for many of the offerings. The quality is so good, though. And it would take some stocking up at home to have all the ingredients that were included in my 'wich. DH likewise enjoyed his sandwich. We shared a side of pesto pasta salad that was very tasty. The total delivered some sticker shock for two sandwiches, one side, and one lemonade - north of $43. It's very easy to have nostalgia for when that might have been about $20 or $25, and not too long ago, either!

I always order lox with avocado on a side, last time i've been they changed the menu from lox with egg salad to loc on a bagel. I preffer sourdough because i dont like the taste of bagle but other then that the food is always fressh and delicious. My order lox with avocado on a sode and arugula salad and of course i get hot unsweetened matcha with regular milk. Do not forget desert, i always grab banana bread. First time i came the lady suggested me this desert and i sticked from that day on :) I will attach few picture, but i always order the same thing and its delicious!

I specifically chose Claudine because the restaurant's website clearly states that it is pet-friendly. When I arrived, I walked up to put my name on the waiting list. While I was waiting, my dog barked once at a car. At that point, the manager approached me and told me that my dog did not meet their standards, that I had no control over my dog, and that I could not stay at the restaurant. I completely understand that restaurants have policies regarding pets, and I am respectful of those policies. If there was an issue with my dog being there, I would have had no problem being politely informed that I needed to leave. What I strongly disagree with was the way the manager chose to speak to me. Instead of simply explaining the policy and asking me to leave, he continued to criticize and lecture me about my dog. His tone was rude, condescending, and unnecessarily judgmental. As a pet owner, I found his comments particularly inappropriate. Many people consider their pets family, and criticizing someone's pet or their ability to care for their pet can be a very sensitive subject. There is a respectful way to communicate a policy without belittling a customer. I asked to speak with a supervisor, and he rudely responded that he was the only manager and had been a manager for over 20 years. Having 20 years of management experience should mean understanding how to handle uncomfortable situations with professionalism and respect--not using your position to speak down to a customer. He may be the manager, but he is not the owner, and I sincerely hope someone at Claudine takes the time to address this interaction and his approach to customers. I would have completely understood being told, "I'm sorry, but unfortunately your dog isn't permitted under our policy." There was absolutely no need for the lecture, criticism, or condescending attitude. The issue was not the policy--it was the way the policy was communicated. Customer service matters, and management should set the example. I hope Claudine reviews this situation and provides additional training on professionalism, communication, and treating customers with basic courtesy and respect.

As soon as I saw the Nashville Hot Chicken Tenders sign, I knew what I was ordering! The cashier was new and did not seem very familiar with the menu.

I noticed a "garden salad" listed as a side and asked him to change it to what I originally wanted. My friend enjoyed her pizza, and I loved the Nashville Hot Chicken Tenders! She tried a piece without the honey and thought it was very spicy, so I would only recommend them if you enjoy some heat. They were delicious, and I cannot wait to eat the leftovers cold! Stonefire is a great place to get together with friends because there is a wide variety of food options, and everyone orders and pays before sitting down--no awkward check-splitting at the end!
