   Noise level inside is extremely loud. Ask for an outdoor (enclosed) patio table and you won’t be disappointed.

   Once again, it felt like the server could not be bothered. The bartenders were quite lovely but the dinner server was not. The wine pours were tiny for the high sticker price and the food was really sub par. Only it Marin would this pass.

   Everything we ordered was delicious. King Salmon, Rock shrimp pasta and frittata were all hits. Earlier got some tapas like olives, hummus and especially recommend the ceviche. Will be back to try some other things on the menu like the pizzas.

   Food was all delicious as were the cocktails. Little overpriced and service was patchy, but we will be back.

   Perhaps having a nice, warm, spring-like day contributed to a very busy lunch time … it was my first time to dine here to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Food was very good! Service was a bit slow, but it was bustling so totally understand …Will return with my husband next time.

   The food has slipped - too much olive oil and sauce on everything - while fine dining is always expensive the preparation of the food doesn’t match the price (a $68 steak should be close to perfect) esp when it’s ala carte. Hostesses are rarely friendly/welcoming - kind of a “you’re lucky to dine here and if I’m slightly indifferent to you it makes us more sophisticated”. The setting is lovely - inside and out so I still bring guests here to have a special night out but I don’t eat here regularly anymore.

   Thank you for your feedback. We take your concerns seriously about our food preparation - particularly the excessive olive oil and sauce, and the steak quality not matching its $68 price point. Your observation about our hostess team's unwelcoming demeanor is concerning. The "you're lucky to dine here" attitude contradicts our service philosophy completely. We appreciate that you still value our ambiance for special occasions. However, we'd like to earn back your regular patronage. I'll share your comments with our executive chef immediately. Would you consider giving us another opportunity? Please contact me directly before your next visit so we can ensure your experience meets the standards you deserve.

   My mom’s friends and family and I came for a belated mom’s birthday gathering. We ordered the hamachi, beet salad and the humus appetizer with the salmon, spaghetti and pizza dishes and never FAILED to be amazing! This was our 3rd time going and after we would go to Johnny’s Doughnuts and the ice cream next door for dessert! Lots of cute shopping places afterwards to browse and digest food! Farmshop is one of MY And my mom’s favorite restaurants in northern california! Would go again!!

It's fantastic to hear that our hamachi, beet salad, and hummus appetizers impressed you, along with the salmon, spaghetti, and pizza. We're honored to be one of your and your mom's favorite restaurants in Northern California! The shopping area does provide a lovely opportunity to browse while digesting. We appreciate you making us part of your special occasions - three visits speaks volumes! We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. These kinds of moments are exactly why we do what we do, and we're grateful you chose to share your celebration with us.

    This is the second time I have asked for a quiet table to conduct business. There will not be a third time.
    

    FarmshopResponded on February 24, 2025

    I appreciate your feedback and sincerely apologize that we weren't able to provide the quiet environment you needed. Brunch is typically our busiest and most lively time, making it difficult to offer truly quiet seating options. While we strive to accommodate all requests, the open layout of our dining room does mean sound carries throughout the space. If you're looking for a quieter setting for business discussions, I'd be happy to recommend times when our restaurant is typically less crowded, or perhaps discuss reserving space during off-peak hours. Please feel free to contact me directly to discuss how we might better serve your needs in the future. Thank you for giving us two opportunities to earn your business. We understand your frustration and respect your decision.
