Finally,
we
had
the
chance
to
try
out
Farmer's
Table
in
Tagaytay,
The
ambiance
was
wonderful,
creating
a
cozy
and
inviting
atmosphere.
Although
there
was
a
minor
hiccup
with
our
reservation,
they
quickly
accommodated
us,
even
if
it
meant
moving
to
another
table.
The
heavy
rain
during
our
visit
made
it
a
bit
tricky
to
choose
the
right
spot
to
avoid
getting
wet
since
it's
an
open
area.
We
noticed
a
charming
little
garden
showcasing
their
produce,
though
we
couldn't
explore
it
fully
due
to
the
rain.
On
a
positive
note,
their
spacious
parking
lot
was
convenient.
As
for
the
food,
the
big
bowl
of
salad
stole
our
hearts
with
its
fresh
ingredients
and
stunning
presentation.
We
couldn't
get
enough
of
the
Hothouse
Crispy
cauliflower
and
broccoli,
especially
when
paired
with
their
blue
cheese
dip.
Some
of
the
food
seemed
overpriced,
but
considering
the
generous
serving
sizes,
others
were
reasonably
priced.
However,
I
must
admit
that
my
expectations
might
have
been
too
high
due
to
the
rave
reviews
I
read
about
the
place.
While
the
California-style
roasted
rosemary
lemon
garlic
chicken
was
tender
and
juicy,
it
didn't
leave
a
lasting
impression.
The
giant
pork
belly,
while
crispy
and
flavorful,
had
a
slightly
gummy
texture,
which
made
it
challenging
to
finish.
A
standout
for
our
family
was
the
"our
famous
laing,"
although
it
leaned
slightly
on
the
sweeter
side
for
some
of
us.
For
dessert,
the
carrot
cake
was
the
star
of
the
show,
impressing
us
with
its
perfect
balance
of
sweetness
and
a
creamy
cream
cheese
frosting
that
delighted
even
the
elders.
While
thoroughly
enjoying
the
food,
we
couldn't
help
but
notice
a
few
areas
of
improvement.
The
staff
seemed
a
bit
inattentive,
and
we
had
to
take
the
initiative
to
grab
menus,
request
water,
and
ask
for
additional
utensils.
We
believe
that
a
good
orientation
for
the
staff,
which
tables
to
attend,
would
undoubtedly
add
to
a
better
overall
experience
for
diners.
Despite
having
had
high
expectations,
Farmer's
Table
proved
to
be
a
middle
ground
for
us.
While
it
might
not
have
fully
lived
up
to
the
lofty
reviews,
it
is
still
a
worthy
destination
to
try.
We
look
forward
to
returning
and
exploring
more
of
their
menu
offerings,
keeping
our
expectations
in
check
for
a
more
balanced
experience.
