The Gardens Café by Kathy G.

Delicious and priced just right

Very relaxing lunch with the kids. Was honestly shocked the food was this good and very reasonably priced. I was expecting over priced frozen pizza or something but the food was great. My kids all ate for $4 each!!
Staff was very friendly.

Highly recommended if you are visiting the botanical gardens or even the zoo (it is a short walk from the zoo).

We held our daughter’s wedding reception at Kathy G’s in May, and it was a lovely experience! The food was wonderful, the staff was great and the environment was perfect. Thank you so very much for pulling all this together in such a sensational way. We felt so cared for. Five plus stars!

Beautiful place but the worst service ever. waited an hour to get our food. We were the first people in the restaurant at 11 and last to get our food. Do NOT recommend.

Shout-out to Vel, our server! Super sweet, very accommodating, and fast service. The bread was amazing, as well as the carrot ginger soup, chicken salad, tomato basil soup, and fries! Nice high ceilings and clean bathrooms, as well. Delicious, fast, and welcoming! ?

I was more than pleasantly surprised with this place. I was expecting tiny portions and huge prices. On the contrary, there was a great selection of amazingly delicious food including children's meals at great prices. Good service and friendly staff in a quiet, well-appointed setting. It's a must have.

What an amazingly perfect place to grab lunch! I dined here several times and was never disappointed. If you like gardens, or people watching, request an outside table and feast your eyes as you, well, feast.
