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.

Food and service were fantastic. I got the chance to speak with the sommelier regarding what to pair with each of the courses, which was amazing. The food was delicious. I did the classic tasting, which gives you the opportunity to try the chefs specials.

We received excellent service as we arrived and ordered our food and drinks. CJ was wonderful and patient as he explained the variety of menu and drink options. The food was delicious and the drinks were tasty. The sticky ribs had an amazing flavor and were not too spicy for us. The guacamole was delicious and had a beautiful presentation. We are so glad we chose Hermanitos for lunch!

We had the pre fixe menu on Christmas Day. The food was phenomenal and the space was gorgeous. We thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience and would recommend this place for special occasions. The wait for our food was on the longer side, but it was Christmas Day so I presume it was due to being short staffed on a busy dining day.
