    Fresh and delicious sandwiches and salads.

    Picnic tables and the quaint farm setting make for a lovely little afternoon lunch.

    So I've eaten here before for lunch and decided to stop by again to get what dish I always think back to... their amazing couscous.  

    I showed up around 11am this Saturday and luckily there was no line as this is a popular place around lunch.  The staff looked like they were barely getting set-up for the day, so I took my time scanning the menu for what else I was going to eat that would accompany that amazing coucous I still recall.... turns out, they don't make it anymore.  WHAT A BUMMER!  I had been looking forward to it so much that when I didn't see it on their menu, I was secretly praying they called it something else besides couscous.  Oh well, whaddya do?

    So I got the raspberry, goat cheese w/ pecan salad; side of chicken breast (for protein), and a small container of roasted sweet potatoes.  

    My reviews:
    Chicken breast: very good.  Lightly flavored w herbs, and freshly cooked (it was not overcooked) and sliced for me to eat with my salad;
    Salad: very tasty combinations.  I loved that they were plentiful w/ the raspberries and the pecans.. the jicama was a nice muted contrast to the sweetness of the candied pecans and the tartness of the raspberries.. lettuce was fresh... and cheese was very plentiful.  Kudos to them for being generous with good ingredients.
    Roasted SweetPot salad: one word: addicting.  It is a perfectly balanced mix of chili oil (I think), scallions, roasted and gently sweet sweet potatoes, and dried cranberries that together make up a very flavorful and intriguing mix that is very exciting to the palate.
    Note that this sweetpot dish reminded me a lot of Liberty Market's sweetpot dish... though I liked this one more.. can't figure out what ingredient differs, but this one was at the addiction-level and it wasn't the sugar.

    I wish they still had that amazing couscous, though..

    This is my favorite place for lunch in Phoenix, and I love to go on a nice sunny day and sit outside at a picnic table and enjoy great food, lemonade and sunshine.

    It's like a little bit of heaven taken right from Napa Valley, with farm fresh and organic ingredients that are healthy, tasty and just flat out make you happy.  The price tag might not put a smile on your face, but don't go every day.

    Quite a scenic location, and that's what you are mostly paying for. I could see taking a date here or maybe some out-of-town visitors but I would not make it a regular breakfast or lunch dining spot. It was nice to see the gallery with local artists' work.

    The problem with a place like this is the hype.  Five stars from yelpers, must be amazing!  But sorry, I've had better Eggs Benedict.  For me just too far to drive for the mediocre food and marginal service.

    I live in Tucson and decided to meet up at The Farm Kitchen with a few Phoenix girl friends. This place is the ultimate location to catch up and relax on a beautiful day. We sat outside in a grassy area with tons of trees and picnic tables. it was very picturesque. There are three different restaurants one for brunch, for dinner, and then a grab and go type restaurant. We did the grab and go, the food was ok, nothing to write home about and a bit expensive. You are paying for the location and the farm fresh food. They also have a CSA and a great little artist studio. If you are looking for a wonderful place to catch up with a great friend, try The Farm Kitchen!

    One of our favorite places around south mountain! The food is pricey, but the sandwiches are big and my husband and I often share one. There are also free refills on the passion iced tea. We take a blanket, ball, and pack food for the kids. We also like to walk around to see the chickens and artist's studio. My young son enjoys collecting the pecans.  It feels like you are no longer in Phoenix and makes for a nice outing!

    I've eaten at The Farm a few times now, and I feel like I have a pretty good feel for the place now.

    The Good:
    The sandwiches are fresh, and they have done a great job choosing ingredients so as to create sandwiches that are unique and tasty.  Each sandwich has its own toppings that work well in that particular sandwich... In other words, it's not just iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, and onions in everything, like you'd find at a cheaper sandwich joint.  I had the flank steak sandwich yesterday, and was quite pleased.  I've also had the pulled pork, the pecan chicken salad, and maybe one other sandwich, but the flank steak is my favorite so far.

    They also offer some good bottled sodas.  Stewart's Key Lime has always been a favorite, and I'm really enjoying the Virgil's Cola they have.  I haven't seen that soda anywhere else.  And the dessert selection is always tempting.

    Perhaps the best part about The Farm Kitchen is the outdoor patio and picnic tables.  When you're working inside an office building all day long, sometimes the chance to spend your lunch hour outside is worth quite a bit (I may change my mind about that come summer, however).

    The soups are also OK, although I've never been blown away by any of them.  The ones I've had are good, but nothing special.

    The Bad:
    OK, there's no denying that this place is too expensive.

    On balance, The Farm Kitchen is an excellent lunch option when it is nice out, when you're not famished, and when you're not on a tight budget.

    What a drive, but what a nice was to spend an early afternoon! I had a Groupon to use, so a friend and I hiked South Mountain and then went over to The Farm for lunch. We stood in line raving over all the delicious food items displayed around us... bottles of balsamic vinegars and spreads, salads with an array of brightly colored vegetables, personal homemade fruit pies... I could go on for a while. I decided on the turkey curry sandwich and a glass of lemonade. The sandwich was a-mazing! The lemonade was fresh squeezed and tart and yummy. Bonus: they offer free tea and lemonade refills until 3pm.

    We sat outside at a little table covered with a checkered table cloth and a potted flower centerpiece. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed people watching (lots of babies and dogs at The Farm). After a leisurely lunch, we strolled around the grounds (plentiful picnic tables and grassy areas for kids to run around) and over to Maya's Farm area (where most of the ingredients are grown).... so awesome to see where my food came from!

    The Farm is a really enjoyable experience and a great place for locavores to visit. I recommend it!

    Went to the Farm Kitchen for lunch on Saturday and actually really enjoyed it.  I felt like I wasn't in Phoenix which was really nice.  The location has a different feel to it and I love the alley with trees all down it and picnic tables to eat at.  It was such a good experience.  

    Now to the food and as much as I enjoyed my turkey curry sandwich and my butternut squash creme brulee I don't think without my groupon I can justify the prices.  I mean come on $10 for a sandwich that's a bit steep.  If it came with chips or something it might be a bit better but that is the only reason I can't give it 5 stars.  

    I will probably still go back because the ambiance was nice and a nice spring or fall day it would be great to go hang out with friends and enjoy a nice lunch outside.  If they lower the prices to say $7 a sandwich I bet this place would have a lot more business.  

    If you haven't been to this place I would say for sure check it out they have a lot of local goodies and desserts and as stated on a nice day you can't beat the setting.

    I have to give the Farm a hand for being a nice change of pace from your typical Sunday afternoon....although I wouldn't go so far as to gush over its picturesque beauty. I would imagine the entire place is absolutely gorgeous when the trees have leaves but in the winter it was a little stark.....Situated in a pecan grove the in January the grounds are more Edward sissorhands Vincent price than they are cutesy farm land.

    My main complaints about the farm include:

    A) Price. $30 for 2 sandwiches, 2 ice teas, and a apricot bar. No Chips, salads, soups, nothing. That's a little steep even if the food is organic....and I have no idea if it is, although there is organic produce growing on the grounds I saw no indication that the food actually was, which leads me to #2.

    B) Signage. One of the main reasons I wanted to visit the farm was because the website advertised it as being 'pet friendly'. However if you hadn't see the website you would have no idea. There a no doggy waste stations and no leash information. When we entered the 'kitchen' to order our food we picked up our tiny chihauhua's and entered before an employee rudely stepped in front of us and loudly spoke out "Um, Miss, you cant bring your dogs in the kitchen!". Embarrassing, especially considering we had LOOKED for a sign on the door to see if we could bring them in. (I know you might be thinking its common sense, dogs + food, but you would be surprised how many places allow you to bring animals in, and since neither of us had even been to the farm we both wanted to see the food inside)

    Finally, a combination of A + Although there are multiple signs indicating what food is AVAILABLE, there are no prices listed. So while I was aware my sandwich was going to be pricey from reviewing the website, I had no idea I was shelling out $4.65 for an apricot bar.

    Overall we will probably return to try the breakfast restaurant on the farm but probably would not return to the Kitchen. My grilled veggie sandwich was tasty however I must admit I was expecting a hot sandwich....everything had been prepared ahead of time and refrigerated, ie cold sandwich. There were a lot of families with small children who were well prepared to enjoy the park like atmosphere with nerf balls etc (I have NOOOO idea how they can afford to feed 6 people there!) And a few couples kanoodling around which made a nice mixed group of people.

    1 last parting comment...this review would have been 1 star higher if they had a liquor license. The entire day could have been mighty improved with a glass of Pinot and I was a little surprised there was none at hand!

    My #1 gripe with this place is the prices they charge.  $10 for your run of the mill sandwich - no side dishes or drinks or anything.  How many meal deals could I get at Subway for 10 bucks?! Because they don't taste much better...

    Their menu listed "gourmet hot chocolate" and since this place looked like a cute little cafe, I was expecting something at least on-par with Starbucks mediocre version. Not even close. It was a powdered mix and hot water!! Bleh.  Thankfully for me, the girl didn't make it correctly (uhhh?) the first time around, but I told her not to worry about it once I knew it was just Nesquick and water.  The coffee was also boring. They forgot the avocado on both of our sandwiches.  2 boring sandwiches and 2 boring coffees cost  us $27.

    Walking around their property is lovely and we snuck some bites of fresh pecans off their trees!  But, I was extra disappointed when I strolled by Morning Glory Cafe and saw that their prices were cheaper than my  sandwich! I would have much rather eaten there and I think I will in the future because the area is so beautiful.

    I would love to visit The Farm again, but will never eat at The Kitchen again.

    I was a bit apprehensive of this place from the menu and website, but when I visited I was very surprised.

    The feel of the place is very authentic, I did not walk around the entire farm so I missed a great deal of it for sure, but I will be back again soon.

    Be careful crossing the road if you choose to park across the street, if I was you I would take my chances at parking along the side of the main road once you pull in.   I noticed some idiots speeding down 32ndst, so watch your kids and your a$$.

    I selected some lemonade, and a pecan chicken salad sandwich, with a ham soup, and a chocolate cake slice.

    The presentation is top notch, you get what you pay for, this is no subway or cousins, these sandwiches have some flare to them.

    The taste was something that will draw me back for more, and the chocolate cake was very home made tasting, but in a good way, they added Kahlua into the frosting, very different!

    The prices are on the high side, but you figure you are paying for more than the food, more the experience, so if you are looking for somewhere to meet up or show someone a new place, this place is great.

    Really great place for the kids, families, dates, very versatile.

    A client took me here for lunch while I was in-town on business and I really enjoyed the experience here.  This place was rammed full on a Thursday during lunch hour, so you might want to drop by on the later or earlier side.  The setting on the farm is very nice and picturesque; there are pecan trees all around where if you can find a rock and have good aim you can get a few pecans to chow down on.  How cool is that?

    The food here is really good.  They have a really nice variety of salads and sandwiches and you can tell that everything is just FRESH.  I had a ham sandwich that was really delicious and everyone else in the group seemed to enjoy their meals.

    For a place that has really nice and fresh items the prices were totally reasonable too.  Hard to say anything bad about this place.

    I adore places that transport you to another locale without even driving too far!

    One beautiful sunny afternoon, I asked a friend to have lunch with me at The Farm Kitchen. We only drove 5 minutes away from the office and we were on a farm at a picnic table enjoying a wonderful lunch.

    The line had already started to form for the lunch at the Farm. We walked into a little building lined with racks of local product to peruse while you wait to get your order started. For my lunch I chose the turkey curry sandwich, a slice of pecan pie and a lemonade.

    Everything was really tasty. I could have used more mayo on my sandwich, but that was a personal preference. The curry on the sandwich wasn't overpowering. It was wonderfully complimented by the sweet cranberries. The pecan pie was so good! My lunch pal left her dessert alone to dig into my pie! The lemonade was, lemonade. Not to sweet, not too tart.

    The Farm Kitchen is a great place to step away from it all if only for a lunch hour. The food is good and well made, and the setting just can't be beat!

    It is local so it must be good! Ha! Hippy marketing is so funny.

    If something is local, should it not be cheaper? No transport fees, cheap local imported labor, and cheap land in undesirable south Phoenix. However this are anything but cheap.

    Mid 70's a slight breeze and clear skies a perfect day for a pick nick. However, I am a bachelor; no way would I prepare my own.

    That is why we went here, that and I have not been there to review yet.

    We entered to a crowded patio and waited in a long line to order.

    The menu was sparse with just some sandwiches and salads, all of them $10 and sides were $2.50.

    I went with the seasonal veggie sandwich, the menu said it had cheese, however it did not. In addition there were beets, pepitas, baby spinage and dressing on multi grain bread.

    It was a decent sandwich, the bread had a slight stale note to it. Moreover, at $10 it was quite possible one of the worst values ever. That price included no sides, no service, beverage or even condiment station.

    My friends tried a salad, which was laughably small for $10. We tried a slice of pecan pie, which was mediocre.

    The best part of the trip was walking around and taking photos of everything. As for food next time, I will just bring my own or try the other restaurant here.

    I know that people have already reviewed The Farm Kitchen in the separate listing for the Farm at South Mountain, but since 2 of the 3 eateries at the Farm (Morning Glory Cafe and Quiessence) have separate listings, I wanted to break out The Farm Kitchen and give it its own listing as well. Morning Glory Cafe offers a delicious breakfast and brunch, Quiessence is a formal restaurant serving local and seasonal dishes, and The Farm Kitchen is a casual lunch spot with sandwiches, soups, salads, and baked goods. We went for lunch with high hopes since our experience at Morning Glory Cafe was so good, but we were a little disappointed with the food we tried, especially given the high prices.

    We ordered the Grilled Flank Steak Sandwich ($9.95), the Chicken BLT Sandwich ($9.95), a side of potato salad ($2.50), a side of sweet potato salad ($2.50), and a piece of pecan pie ($4). The Steak Sandwich was the best of the four things - the steak was well-seasoned and tender, the bread was freshly baked, and the Gorgonzola spread really complemented the meat. However, the chicken on the BLT sandwich was flavorless and a bit dry and the mayo was really standard. The sweet potato salad was also really oily and the sweet potatos themselves were undercooked and even a bit chewy. The potato salad was fine, but a really small portion for the price. The pecan pie was definitely good, but not better than anything you could get at Marie Calendar's or a similar bakery chain.

    The atmosphere is definitely unique (where else can you get your lunch in picnic baskets and sit outside?), but to really experience the deliciousness of locally grown ingredients and feel that the food is worth the high price tag, you'd probably want to go to Morning Glory Cafe or Quiessence (which we hear wonderful things about and are excited to try!).

    Scene:
    sweet bf brought me here to dine for our 2nd anniversary lunch. unfortunately, it was cold, rainy, damp, windy. we tried to sit outside in the sweet little covered picnic/garden area to eat our delectable sandwiches and soup (all served in an adorable little basket). it started to rain again, just as we were finishing up our meal.

    Verdict:
    sandwiches - yummy, yummy, in my tummy! pesto chicken salad and flank steak.
    soup - french onion was a wee bit too salty for my liking. forgot what the boy had (soup menu changes daily), but it was AWESOME and sooo gooooood. cute note: soup is served in a to-go cup, like a cup of joe!

    i'd come back. such a cute, romantic date place. *insert romantical sigh here*

    The Farm Kitchen is a casual dining experience suitable for a date picnic, an outdoor baby shower, or an afternoon lunch with the family.  A favorite for sandwiches and some of the desserts.  They close for the hot summer months.  They are reopening on September 13. I will update with a check-in and a review of some of my favorite things.

    Ha!

    So, we ran into the local fry's for something - probably wine - and when we got to the checkout counter, we asked if there was a great place for sandwiches around and the lady was like scratching her head and like "no".  Hmmm...  She seemed to remember someone mentioning a place...  

    I'm pretty sure we took a wrong turn and literally stumbled upon this sweet little sandwich spot with food that is just...  oh me!  oh my!  so good.  I ordered the most delictable chicken salad sandwich!  Afterwards, I couldn't help but wonder, why the hell doesn't that local lady know about this place?!?!  Seriously.  So good.

    On a sunny day, the huge picnic table littered lawn here hosts droves of peeps just waiting to dig into deliciousness to the tune of deli.  This place easily makes the top ten restaurants to visit while we're in Tempe.  Eat here with your honey if you're looking for good grub in the area.  It's cafeteria style farm fresh food and fun!

    I am definitely starting to like dining on farms. It makes me feel like I'm supporting the local economy and also getting fresh food.

    We came here before our flight out of Phoenix, yesterday, in lieu of dining at the Morning Glory Cafe. Once we left downtown Phoenix for S. Mountain, the wait had increased by 30 minutes making the wait one hour, which would make us cut too close to our flight back to San Francisco.

    So we walked back all the way to the front of the farm and decided to grab lunch here. True, the selection is sparse, but the ingredients are fresh. Someone mentioned that he didn't understand why it's so expensive. Well, I think I do. This is a small farm--they don't mass produce their product, so of course things are going to be more expensive. To top it off, they are a sustainable farm, so things come at a price.

    Anyway, back to my review. I decided to try the red grape and walnut salad, which consisted of grilled chicken, mixed greens, red grapes, walnuts and gorgonzola crumbles served with a raspberry vinaigrette. I also opted to get the passion fruit iced tea, which was delicious without any added sweetness!

    The salads are already pre-packed, but they were fresh. The sandwiches are made to order. My friend got the old fashioned turkey sandwich (Grill roasted pulled turkey, organic fi eld greens and house made cranberry relish with chipotle mayo on multi-grain bread). I was able to try the sandwich and it was soooo good. Very delicious and fresh. My salad was also very good and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I could taste the difference in the freshness.

    I just really enjoyed the freshness of everything and I'm looking forward to coming back to eat here AND at the Morning Glory Cafe on my next trip back to Phoenix. Can't wait! I love farm-fresh dining!

    This is a favorite destination dining experience. The extensive gardens on the grounds and the pastoral picnic picuresque arboretum are worth the slightly expensive bakery treats and sandwiches.
    They have a really delicious sweet potato salad and a good chicken salad sandwich. Pies and cookies are good as well.
    It has always been uncrowded when I have come here.
    This is a good place for a romantic stroll after a romantic picnic.

    I loved the Farm Kitchen (at S. Mountain.)

    This place is a little paradise....a piece of small town USA.

    The farm at South Mountain in great place to bring family, friends, out-of-towners, and it is incredible for kids.  The entire facility is open and you can roam the place freely while checking out the farm and lots of chickens.

    We were bummed that the wait for the breakfast place was over an hour.  Someone told us to check out The Farm Kitchen.  We were very glad we did.

    This quaint little cottage offered a wide variety of sandwiches, salads, and baked goods.  Most of the items included products groan on-site.  We ordered a few sandwiches, the pasta salad, and the mushroom soup.  We were not disappointed....everything was great.  

    The food was high quality.  The sandwiches were huge. The service....well no service to review since the place was an order and pick up at the counter style sandwich joint. The prices were a little high.  I would say the average lunch will run $12-$15 per person if you get a drink and side.  The price  was worth it to me to get out of the house and spend a few hours in place that really takes you away from the city.

    Long overdue review.

    I love the Farm at South Mountain and have been there several times over the last four years. I do not like the Farm Kitchen. I think the Morning Glory Cafe is better for breakfast and brunch. This review is for the Farm Kitchen, one of the thee restaurants/cafes at the Farm.

    Recently I forgot how much I disliked this cafe and bought a Groupon. Even at 50% off, the cafe is not a great value.

    2 reasons - 1)food quality 2) price
    1) When a place serves only sandwiches, you'd think they'd pay attention to their bread. I like chunky bread, thick cut bread, artisan bread.  TO me theirs seemed like Sara Lee wheat bread. Flimsy brownish bread. That collapsed under the weight of the rather sparse filling. They have a few vegetarian options, but none are very good. A few pieces of avocado, a hint of cheese...
    2) When I pay $10 for a thin sandwich, at least give me one side, if not two. At leasta  pickle.  After a hike, we wolfed down two sandwiches each and were still not close to feeling full. $30 after Groupon and we left feeling hungry.

    Bringing your own picnic basket or brown bag lunch if you're going to be there after Morning Glory closes is a good idea. Just buy their sweet potato salad - that one is good!

    LOVE. The setting is so unique and beautiful. I wish I worked in the area so I could have lunch at their picnic tables every day!  They have a really nice large selection of sandwiches, soups, and salads. And many many tempting baked goods for your sweet tooth. I'm in love with the grilled chicken spinach salad with pecans, cranberries, and goat cheese. Everything is so fresh and delicious, but yeah it's pricey at $10 per sandwich or salad. For me the price is worth it for this little charming getaway from the usual strip malls and such.

    I love this restaurant.  I love the sandwiches, soup, salads, desserts, lemonade... everything!!

    I usually get the 1/2 sandwich with a cup of soup and a piece of peach pie and a lemonade.  Mmmmm...

    I would eat here much more often if that meal didn't cost me $20.

    I bring the kids and let them climb the trees, find pecans and run in the grass between the picnic tables.

    Wow. What an impressive lunch. I have been meaning to get to this place for quite awhile and finally got down there today. While it is way the hell out of the way, I think the farm is fully worth the trip.

    I met my buddy and we ordered sandwiches. I had a really difficult time deciding what to eat and when pressed, blurted out "Pulled pork sandwich!". After I got my drink and paid my rather steep fee, I was immediately regretting my decision. Why would I get BBQ pork here? I should have had something else. If I'm gonna eat pork, it should be at Joe's or Dave's or someplace that is known for BBQ right? I was bummed.

    Then I got my sandwich and sunk my teeth into it. WOOWEE! That is some damn fine pork! It was not overly BBQ-y, and the cole slaw/bell pepper mixture on top was AMAZING! The bread was delicious as well, and everything together made a really nice sandwich.

    The setting is unbeatable, and with a lemonade, some good BBQ, and some French Bossa Nova playing on the stereo, I was transported to a whimsical lunch spot that really made my afternoon.

    The issue? The price. $15 for sandwich, drink, and chips is too much money to spend on a lunch that, while very delicious, still left me a bit hungry at the end. Not that I need a heaping pile of sandwich to get me through the day, but still.....4 (for price) rounded up to 5 (atmosphere).

    This is a fabulous place to go for brunch. Upon arriving, we felt we were someplace other than phoenix! The views of the mountains and foliage were great. There's so much room to spread out on the picnic tables and around the lawn. I had the curried chicken salad sandwich. The service was great and they offered me a sample before I tried just to make sure I would like it. I loved sitting outside in the shade and enjoying a nice glass of lemonade! I will definetly be back!

    This place is so cute and delicious! I have gone here twice so far and I always think about it. I cannot believe a place like this exists in Arizona. Since I am from New Jersey it is so familiar and feels like how as soon as I step on the property. Its beautiful and quaint. I recommend grabbing your food in a baskets and eating under a pecan tree at a picnic bench!

    i came here january 9, 2011. i had the goat cheese salad, which was just all right for the price. i think farm kitchen's biggest draw isn't really the food, but the environment. there's lots of picnic tables and space available for families to come and enjoy a nice sunny day in the winter.

    the orange and grapefruit trees were all bearing fruit at the time, and i had to grab a few oranges, which all turned out very sweet. and if you're willing to work at it, you'll be able to find some intact pecans. i don't know if the farm has any rules against picking from the trees, but i didn't see any signs, so i may have to come back next year ;)

    We went to The Farm today for lunch to enjoy a picnic on such an awesome beautiful day. I had the Tuscan sandwich and it was awesome. I had expected it to be good but was surprised at just how enjoyable it really was. I'm sure sitting outside in beautiful surroundings on a perfect day helped with the experience. This is the prefect place for lunch on a beautiful day. My date was equally impressed so I'm sure I will be back!

    Definatey would give this place 4 stars for cuteness. The food is overpriced. My wrap alone was $10.88 with tax. I wouldn't complain if it had been outstanding or even close. It was only average. Sadly disappointed. It was.like having a picnic without the wine, cheese, and pate.  But check it out and decide for yourself.

    What a great place for lunch!! The pecan grove makes for a really nice setting for a picnic and/or a party and they do have them there!! The food is very good!! The Grilled Chicken BLTDA Sandwich, Curry Turkey Salad Sandwich and the Farm Fresh Seasonal Sandwich are all incredibly awesome sandwiches!!

    Went here for the first time with a girlfriend recently. I had a Groupon that was expiring and thought this would be a great place to start our day. I was right!  We got there about quarter to noon and there was a little bit of line, but it gave us time to decide what we wanted and peruse the goodies in the store. I selected the chicken fajita wrap and the gf had the tuscan chicken sandwich... Both were delicious. The fajita chicken with the black beans and guacamole was just what my taste buds were craving.... I ate every single bite of that yumminess!  The chocolate raspberry bar from the pastry selections was delicious as well. They have a couple flavors of fresh-brewed iced teas and a fresh lemonade that were very good too. Its slightly pricey at around 9-10 bucks for a sandwich with no sides, but the ingredients are fresh and the its a nice setting to enjoy lunch. I look forward to trying another yummy menu selection in the future!

    Delicious local fare.  They have a working garden out back for all you nature lovers to help minimize your carbon footprint.  Seriously, if you want to go out for a picnic with some really good food, and not hassle with packing the basket, this is your place to kick back and relax.

    Snooty and expensive. Tiny portions of "precious" food. Get real, please.
