I love Farmshop for lunch, but I think they need a bigger dinner menu. The liver mousse and avocado hummus were delicious, and we shared the mushroom bolognese. I asked for endive or any other loudest than chicory. They didn’t do that and I didn’t send it back, although I should have. It is a lovely place to dine and not overly noisy, but I wish there were more food choices.

Our Brentwood favorite (over the siblings Toscana next door) for quality Italian food and crowd energy. Super friendly service. Great place to hang at the bar, watch a Dodgers game (no sound), and enjoy a quality cocktail.

The lunch deal is an incredible value. Choice of three soups including a great hot and sour soup, two spring rolls, and half a Chinese Chicken Salad! They were accommodating about no wontons and extra crispy white noodles instead, and Chinese hot mustard and sesame oil on the side. Very good black iced tea too. Nice view from the comfortable booths.
