Mendocino Farms — Restaurant in Newport Beach

Mendocino Farms is my go-to spot for a satisfying, flavorful, and healthier meal. My absolute favorite order is the Modern Caesar Salad with warm grilled chicken and jalapeños—a perfect combination of fresh and bold flavors. The salad itself is far from your typical Caesar; it’s packed with crispy kale, mixed greens, grape tomatoes, red onions, avocado, Parmesan cheese, and crunchy quinoa, giving it an amazing texture and depth.

What makes it even better? I always mix their Caesar dressing with Green Goddess, sometimes diluting it with a little vinegar and adding salt and pepper to taste. The result is a perfectly balanced, tangy, and creamy dressing that takes the salad to another level. It’s incredibly filling, and I always leave feeling full and satisfied.

The service here is phenomenal, and they’re great about customizations—you can even ask them to heat up your chicken without seed oils if that’s something you’re mindful of. Another huge plus is that they don’t deep-fry anything! Their air-fried chicken is a hit with the kiddos, making it a healthier option while still tasting amazing.

And to top it all off? I love ending my meal with a Bacio di Latte gelato (a few minutes away)—the perfect way to wrap up a great meal. Highly recommend Mendocino Farms for a fresh, delicious, and fully customizable...

This location is the old Yard House iykyk. Beautiful inside and the food is fresh and delicious! I've had quite a few of their items and nothing has been bad.

This is the newest location which is nice to have around Fashion Island. Give it a try.

I don't usually get sandwiches but saw the Happy hippee which sounded delicious but I added chicken since I like my protein. Soo flavorful! You won't be...

This place is great! I use to go to Panera Bread for fresh salads and they are so cheap! They give you a half a bowl and always cheat you on the portion. However, Mendicino Farms gives you a full bowl of salad and they are way tastier than Panera bread and you get your money’s worth. I hope they don’t change and keep it o the good work. I love how fresh, healthy and tasty...
