This casual Beverly Hills spot features a rustic farmhouse decor and outdoor tables, a perfect spot if you're dining with your dog (as lots of regulars do). Your server will even bring a bowl of water (for your four-legged friend) but please refrain from lap seating. It's a health code, not a Farm house rule.

We love the olive, rosemary, and multigrain breads, and the simple salads, pastas, and grilled fish and meat dishes on the menu. On one visit the cheeseburger was a smash hit: a thick beef patty topped with oven-roasted tomatoes, caramelized onions and arugula. We mostly enjoy The Farm's hearty old-fashioned breakfasts.
