My friend Carol has been talking about this restaurant since she went with friends a month or so ago. So we matched up dates with our friend Teresa and gave it a try yesterday. It is Farmhouse at Roger's Gardens in Corona del Mar. I used to shop for plants at Roger's Gardens, an upscale nursery with fabulous plants and imaginative hanging baskets and multi-plant pots. They also have patio furniture, a top rated gift shop, and just about anything a gardener would be seeking. It isn't for penny-pinchers as it is located in the very elite area of Corona del Mar, almost adjacent to the VERY upscale Fashion Island. Years ago, when I lived in Huntington Beach I did a lot of gardening and would frequent Rogers for unusual plants and unique planting ideas. I will post some pictures later that I took yesterday of the flowers on display.
I thought I had taken pictures of our lunch plates but all I took was dessert. Of course! I had wonderful Icelandic cod with baby broccoli and farro and a lovely mild sauce. Carol had the Grilled Hanger Steak with Heirloom Tomato Salad, and Teresa had a Gorgonzola & Granny Smith Apple & Chicken Salad (w/candied pecans, dried cranberries, mixed lettuce and raspberry vinaigrette). Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Of course, we couldn't resist dessert.
Flourless Chocolate Cake w/fruit, red wine sauce and whipped cream.

On the right, Teresa and Carol choose our table for next time.
It was a lovely day.
