Permanently Closed - Lotus Farm to Table

Excellent food , ambience and service

First time at Lotus. Food was delicious! The burger was amazing and the popcorn was delicious!!

This was an excellent mall with good portion sizes and incredible flavors

Great food and beautiful inside. Perfect spot before a show.

Delicious food, menu wasn’t overwhelming, pleasant staff and great music.

Beautifully prepared food in a quiet setting make Lotus Farm to Table a fantastic place to eat any night of the week. My husband and I went back for a second time on December 5th and loved our meal. I had the scallops with celery root puree and my husband had the salmon with honeyed sweet potatoes. Both dishes were delicious and so nutritious. The appetizers were a beet salad and mushrooms with another warm vegetable puree. The service was friendly and prompt. It's a lovely, inviting place. Go, Go, Go have dinner there. It's a pleasure.

We had an excellent meal, sampling many of the menu options. The appetizers, small plates, large plates, and desserts were all very tasty. The servers seems a little overwhelmed at times--having another server on the floor that night would have helped.

Overall a great experience. The food was delicious. I had a scallop dish and my husband had a pork entree. However, the ambiance was a bit drab. I wasn’t a fan of the brown/dull vines and dried flowers on the walls and ceiling. Just need to liven it up a bit to mesh the excellent food. Looking forward to another visit soon.

Absolutely loved Lotus and had such an amazing experience here. 5 star service, 5 star atmosphere, 5 star cuisine.

Excellent food and service! I enjoyed a salmon dish - perfectly done and presented. Highly recommend!

Changing ownership. Very disappointed, we ate here several times before and the food was good.

Good, healthy offerings. Creatively prepared. Attentive Service. Lovely, warm and welcoming environment.

Lotus Farm to Table was so wonderful. The Wait staff is very knowledgeable about the food, and they made wonderful recommendations. Every bite was delicious, I had to taste everyone’s dish. I look forward to going back again!

Lotus Farm to Table provided a nice quiet location on a weekday night for a small group of friends. The food was excellent and just inventive enough to be familiar and surprising. Our server was friendly and not intrusive. I would recommend this place for a healthy, fun and local-friendly meal, with the benefit of BYO.

Great food and plenty of options for the Vegan/ Vegetarian/ Pescaterian guests.

And it’s a BYO, will be back soon

This was our 2nd visit to Lotus Farm to Table. Our first visit was great... this one just OK... My pork rib chop was tough. Fish dishes good but not great. Whipped ricotta with sourdough app was delicious

I had wanted to try Lotus for a few years and finally got the chance this weekend. We arrived early and the restaurant was not that crowded. While our server was very sweet, she was not very attentive. The presentation and concepts of the food were wonderful, however execution was inconsistent. The burger was not able to be prepared for anything less than medium well. Very strange as most places serve beef medium-rare unless requested otherwise. The skin of the fish was disgustingly rubbery and inedible. Not at all crisp. Our appetizers could've used a bit more seasoning but were very fresh. Rice was cooked nicely. Prices are a bit high for what you get aside from presentation but it is a BYOB. Just very disappointed considering how long I've looked forward to this. With the many great restaurants in Media, I'm unlikely to return.

We made a 7pm reservation for dining under the stars as this restaurant was highly recommended. We were instructed upon confirmation not to be 15 minutes late or our table would be given away. We arrived at 7 and were seated with two menus and 3 waters for four people. For the next 30 minutes no one opened our wine or stated they would be with us. I requested the hostess open our wine and was told a waitress would do that. After 30 minutes of being ignored we left for another local restaurant that was great. No one from Lotus even cared we were leaving.

I rarely write bad reviews but this supposed zagat restaurant is far from it and I would consider many other great local restaurants other than this one.

Enjoyed a lovely evening of delicious food. Salmon and green beans were absolutely awesome! Filet was perfect and the free range chicken delicious! Presentation was very inviting, couldn’t wait for the first bite. Another great meal at Lotus.

not interested in dining hear again. kind of boring.

Best food in Media!

My wife and I went out for a special occasion. The ambience was very cute, and the food ended up to be very good. We had a few (relatively?) minor mixups with service: one of our apps came out as the wrong one (both involved peaches), the used forks and knives from apps were left with us right on the table when app plates were removed, and general spills were not cleaned up. With other restaurants maybe these are acceptable, but lotus seems expensive enough that these types of service issues shouldn’t happen here. The used forks and knives left on the table is something that I personally can’t accept at a restaurant of this cost. But the food WAS very good and the ambience also was very nice.

Great food and service. Seasonal menu with fresh selections.

Food was great. This was a great place for a friend and I to catch up for her birthday lunch. The food was creative and delicious. The atmosphere lovely and the good service did not rush us. Thank you. Marianne

We all enjoyed our meals thoroughly. They even mixed various side's that we preferred with the entree we wanted, was perfect.
Was really nice and quiet, could enjoy our conversations.
We will go back.

Always a great meal at dining under the stars

Went on Wednesday in Media night. Food was over cooked and manager was cranky

Beautifully seasoned, imaginative dishes that highlight fresh ingredients. The snapper special and sea bass with broccoli rabe were wonderful.

Fresh, flavorful food and soothing ambiance. Amazing indie folk alternative playlist. Looking forward to visiting again.

Ate here outside during Media’s Dining Under the Stars (DUTS) weekly event. They squeezed us in during busy time slot and accommodated is increasing count from 2 to 3 which is a different table size.

Food was very good as usual, service a little off but understandable when the tables are in the middle of State Street and the whole street is mobbed with diners.

Highly recommend

Dining under the stars Media

Great food, although a somewhat limited menu and the most uncomfortable wooden chairs ever made.

Dining under Stars. Just beat the rain. Enjoyed the duck breast and trout dishes. Preparation, presentation and taste may be best in Media. You really do get a special entree. You can enjoy a very special meal here at very reasonable price.

The overall experience and meal was outstanding.

I was really excited to try this restaurant, but kind of disappointed. The server brought me my drink and picked his hair out of the cup right in front of me! He wasn’t very knowledgeable about the menu either. The service was slow, we waiting over 40 min for our meals. The food was ok, kind of a letdown after the wait.

Went here for Dining Under the Stars so it is hard to rate noise level and ambiance :) We had a lovely night dining outside here. Servers were friendly, food was good and we brought our own delicious wine. It's always nice to get to a BYOB. This was our first time at Lotus and we were very happy with it.

Very home like, not glitzey. Spent the evening with slow dinner. Not rushed out for a second seating. Like France, BYOB makes it a nice bargain.

Excellent menu. The chef is an artist and pays attention to every detail!

Emma was our waitress in spite of the fact that she was alone because their bookings were suppose to be low that evening turned out just the opposite,Emma was amazing !
Friendly. Smile never left her face.
Apologetic when necessary. What ever they are paying her isn’t enough. I disapprove of restaurants that are expensive and decide to skimp on paying Help because their Bookings are low. Emma didn’t even have help keeping water glasses filled .

Excellent appetizers. Main course was good particularly the Hake. The service was superior.
