   We shared a wonderful cheese plate, roasted carrots w/Cumin and cardoman last evening at Farmhouse as well as Asian short ribs. We enjoyed all of it, plus the ambience of the patio about 7pm. Very good wine list and service. We will definitely return. Everyone working hard there!

   If you're looking for a memorable dining experience nestled in the serene beauty of Descanso Gardens, The Farmhouse Restaurant is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you step onto the property, you're greeted not only by breathtaking views of lush greenery and blooming flowers, but by a warm and welcoming team eager to make your meal unforgettable. The Peach & Prosciutto Pizza is a standout — a perfect marriage of savory and sweet. The crisp, thin crust provides the ideal base for the luscious ripe peaches, the salty prosciutto, and a delightful swirl of fresh pesto that ties everything together. The herbal richness of the pesto enhances the natural sweetness of the peaches while balancing the saltiness of the prosciutto. It’s an unexpected yet perfect combination that leaves you craving more. Then there are the mussels, which are nothing short of extraordinary. Bathed in a rich, garlicky broth with just the right amount of white wine, they’re tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Paired with the restaurant’s freshly baked bread, the broth begs to be sopped up — it’s the kind of dish that you don’t want to end, and yet, you can’t help but savor every drop. What truly elevates the experience is the impressive selection of perfectly paired wines, craft beers, and herbal cocktails. The wine list offers a broad range of options, with thoughtful pairings that complement every dish. Whether you’re a red-wine lover or more into whites and rosés, you’ll find something that enhances the flavors of your meal. For beer enthusiasts, there’s an array of locally brewed craft beers to explore, each with its own unique twist. And for those looking for something a little different, the herbal cocktails are a showstopper — refreshing, aromatic, and beautifully balanced, they’re the kind of drinks that make you rethink what a cocktail can be. To finish off the meal, the Pink Lady apple dessert is the perfect light, sweet touch. Warm, caramelized slices of Pink Lady apples a

   Since we are members we were offered by email to make reservations to their new restaurant so we jumped at the chance. We were not disappointed, the food was delicious, the service was immediate and everyone was so friendly and nice! And I give them even more kudos since it was only their second day open! Great experience and we can't wait to go back to try more items!

   So nice to be surrounded by the gardens and enjoy the quiet of the outside. Food was so creative and delicious. The fresh veggies and thoughtful proteins really capture the farm-forward intention. Really love the shared plate approach — we were all happy with the various options we tried (our kiddo also loved the adult menu offerings!). Lots of cocktails and nice wines to enjoy, too. Excited to have a nice dining spot to enjoy the warm LA weather!

   Just opened and the food is amazing! And the staff were so lovely. Can’t wait to see where they are in a couple of months after they work out the minor details. But overall, this is my new favorite thing at Descanso.

   Hi there, I was disappointed to be seated inside when I requested inside. Also, MOST importantly, nobody, at any time told me that cash was not accepted. I have pretty much sworn off credit cards so that was an uncomfortable moment. May I suggest having the servers inform patrons up front or post it on the menu or something. That was way awkward. Thank you. Other than that, the meal was terrific. And our server, Julia, was a doll. k.
