REVIEW: My Farm City Experience

Maybe I should call this my first dinner date after lockdown or maybe, what it is like going on a date during a pandemic but no. I choose to talk about the restaurant itself hence the title- My Farm City Experience.

This post is for you if you’ve never been to Farm City, or maybe looking for restaurants to visit in Lagos or just in search of a review.

In case you missed it, My Review on Orchid Bistro: https://goldgerry.com/2020/09/16/review-the-orchid-bistro-restaurant/

Fridays are probably the worst day for a date night and I found this out immediately I walked into the building. I couldn’t help but wonder if they had no limits on guests they admitted into the restaurant considering the climate we are in. So if you are very particular on keeping to NCDC guidelines in public places with regards to crowded spaces, then Farm City isn’t the place for you.

Here Is My Experience And What You Need To Know About Farm City

1. Farm City has two locations
   
   Lekki- 15 Admiralty Way
   Ogudu- 36 Ogudu Road
   
2. Reservations
   
   As is customary with most restaurants at the moment, you must call in to make a reservation before coming in. I made a reservation online at least four hours before, which was pretty easy by the way.
   
3. Making A Reservation Doesn’t Guarantee You A Spot
   
   Shocker! Remember that reservation I had made four hours before going to the restaurant? Yes, that was not in existence when I got there. I had told them I made a reservation online and in the words of the guy who attended to us “It wasn’t communicated to them, else they would’ve reserved a spot”. There is obviously a break in their communication channel because we really wanted to stay by the waterfront but that couldn’t happen.
   
4. Service
   
   This has got to be the most annoying thing for me about Farm City. Aside from food, customer service is the next rating for me and it sucks when people do not take it seriously. We sat and waved down at least 5 different attendants before getting someone to attend to us after 20 minutes. So patience is needed if you choose to go here.
   
5. About The Food
   
   I ordered the Nkwobi and Sex On The Beach while my boyfriend had Nkwobi, Peppered Gizzard and Farm City Special drink. I enjoyed the Nkwobi thoroughly but the Sex On The Beach did not have enough alcohol in it for me.
   
6. Cost
   
   Other than what we had ordered in, we asked for the Ofada Rice and Sauce with Assorted Meats as protein. All these summed up to N14,100.
   Their drinks start from N1500 and a plate of food from N2000.
   
   Overall, I think Farm City has the best prices for foods and drinks, and the quantity isn’t shabby either. I would love to experience the restaurant during the day and by the waterside…until then, let’s make do.
