- CCharlieLos Angeles •5 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe celebrated our wedding anniversary at their Costa Mesa location this weekend. Reservation was easy via OpenTable. The restaurant staffs were super friendly and attentive. They offered us unlimited FREE Róse. The food were amazingly delicious. Our service staffs, Jordan and Milton, were very attentive, and even chatted with us for a few minutes. Took pictures for us. The decorations were cute, warm and inviting. We had a great time, definitely would return and recommend this restaurant to our friends and family. A 5 Stars experience.More infoHabana - Costa MesaPrice: Expensive• Cuban• Costa Mesa•4.7
- JJosevipLos Angeles •7 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoGreat overall. We were sat outside, which was a little chilly, but the heat lamps did well enough. The waiter was a little quiet and didn't come around too frequently, which honestly worked for us very well as we had a lot to talk about. Food was certainly the highlight, unique and tasty offerings, artichoke eggrolls were unexpectedly good and my pork chop was fantastic!More infoBosscat Kitchen & LibationsPrice: Expensive• American• Irvine•4.6

- DDeeSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoThis was our first time at Farmhouse at Roger's Gardens, and we fell in love. The twinkling lights everywhere made my heart happy. The boys loved the burger and fries, and even the ketchup was made in-house! I had the pizza of the day, a prosciutto and Honeycrisp apple concoction that was delightful and delicious. Who knew apples worked on a pizza?!? My daughter had the half Jidori chicken, which was juicy and tender, and a large enough portion that she took half of it home with her. We also sampled two desserts, the lemon tart and apple crisp. Both were amazing, but the apple crisp was our favorite of the two. I definitely will be back and highly recommend this spot for a satisfying farm-to-fork meal.More infoFarmhouse at Rogers GardensPrice: Expensive• American• Corona del Mar•4.8
