Reviews for Farmer's Table Bay Park in San Diego, CA
First time here. Came here on a Saturday night and they seated us right away. They were still doing their San Diego Restaurant... Week menu so I got their: crab cake, farmer's salad, sea bass, and tiramisu. My partner got the pappardelle and a freelimoncello sponge cake for doing the Yelp check in. The entrees were the highlight, followed by the desserts. Service was alittle slow and the salt on my sea bass fish was inconsistent -- there were some very salty bites and some bland bites. Itreally has a family-owned feel where the staff genuinely seems to enjoy each other's company. Read more
Always good, service was great! I usually go to La Mesa location but tried this for lunch. Had the Salad and added salmon. The... Salad and Salmon seemed bigger and was better at the other location but it was still really good. The salmon had no seasoning isall unlike the other location it was grilled with seasoning or something. Only waited 20 minutes with no reservation and it waspacked. Read more
Came here for brunch on a Sunday morning. We made reservations for 11am and were seated promptly. There were tons of people... waiting in front though, so I definitely recommend making reservations. The restaurant was really cute and I really enjoyed thebig doors blending the outdoor and indoor dining areas! My friend ordered the brioche french toast to share and I ordered theshort rib benedict. Both dishes lacked flavor in my opinion. The short rib was a little dry, and the polenta was not soft asdescribed in the menu. Couldn't taste any lemongrass in the benedict either. However the eggs were cooked to perfection, thepotatoes were nice and crispy, and the english muffin on the side was also pretty good. Mimosa was also on point :) And servicewas good. Overall would not recommend if you're looking for big flavor but it's a nice spot to brunch with friends! Read more
This was my first time here at this location or any of the farmers table locations for that matter. The inside was quirky and... warm with great decor and lighting. We sat out on the patio and our server was incredibly friendly and helpful. We got theshort rib and the sea bass and everything was delicious. They have a fun selection of cocktails as well as beer and wine. Theyhad a list of daily specials that also looked amazing, and the sea bass was actually one of them. I will definitely be returningWe had a great time! Read more
This place is so unique. The interior decor is very cute and rustic. I came in for brunch on a Sunday, restaurant was busy and... there was a little bit of a wait. We got the most amazing bloody mary along with the short rib Benedict, breakfast sandwich andan order of original pancakes. Everything was so good and the service was great. Read more
Really enjoyed this place! I’ve been here a few times now and have had a great experience both times. Solid food and just the... right portions. I got the short rib Benedict because I generally try them everywhere and it’s solid. I’m not as much of afan of the potatoes but they are pretty standard and that’s my personal preference. The key eating here for Sunday brunch isto make a reservation!! Super important as they are always busy- one or the reasons why I come here for brunch is because thisis possible to do. Service is a little slow so prepare to be there for a little longer than you think- there is usually awaitstaff close by if you do need something, but since it is always slammed give them a break!

Stopped on a whim driving through Bay Park. Glad we did. Great service, very friendly! Place was nice and welcoming and the... food had a variety of options for breakfast ???? ???? and all erred on the creative side. Good for us, but if you’re aDenny’s person, stick to Denny’s, I guess. We got the chilaquiles and the jambalaya (breakfast version). The chilaquileswere tasty though not ????. Ok for most people. Good flavor and pretty authentic. The Jambalaya had shrimp ???? and I orderedeggs over easy. Seems like the right way to go, the yolk, cooked perfectly, allowed me to mix into the rice, sausage, andshrimp. End result, a very very tasty breakfast jambalaya! We both had sides of breakfast potatoes, classically made and weretasty as well. My only caveat on the food is the side of fruit wasn’t as fresh as you’d like - probably a factor of usingnon-seasonal fruit. I’d suggest a rotating seasonal fruit ???? plate for a side, considering it adds $4 to the price. Theportions were massive, though, and considering organic was everywhere on the menu, the value per dish was great. Overall, agreat experience both food, service, and location. They do a great job of insulating the venue from the strip mall feel, butit’s Bay Park in San Diego so it can never be too bad. Kudos to the chefs, cooks, servers, bussers, and hosts! Doing a greatjob ????????- this is a good restaurant! Read more
I am giving 3 stars and writing the review for others ,to please verify how the food is prepared . I was attracted to the farm... to table concept, however I was disappointed thinking I would have a true organic experience with my meal . I ordered theveggie omelette , when I asked the server if the eggs were shelled eggs, the server confirmed they were shelled eggs . I alwaysask for shell eggs and I have moved away from powdered /premade eggs a long time ago . I have been to other establishments thatwill accommodate my shell egg request also. The orange juice was not fresh squeezed OJ either .( the OJ tasted and reminded meof a store bought Minute Maid ) I did speak to the server and she did explain the OJ is a cold pressed process but was notfreshly squeezed . ( big difference in taste ) The veggie omelette appeared to have an appearance of powdered eggs. It did nothave the consistency or flavor of cracked shell eggs for the omelette. There were a few veggies inside the omelette as a tease. I did voice my disappointment to the manager named Ocean who was kind and understanding . She explained that the eggs arecracked in the morning and she sees the prep cook doing this . I kindly accepted her truth . Without further pushing the issue. I did eat my meal as I was tired and hungry from the long night I had . I was ready to pay for the meal , to my surpriseOcean removed the charge unexpectedly. . I feel the establishment has a great concept but there may be some learning curveswith their servers and The way the meals are prepared . Read more
