The Kitchen at Descanso

WAY overpriced! 3 sandwiches and 4 drinks were over $70... in an outdoor patio setup?! Oh, well. It was like what you'd expect if at a professional sports event.

Descanso used to have a pretty good menu, albeit overpriced. Since the new remodel, they no longer offer cooked meals, instead have pre-cooked burgers, chicken fingers, etc under heat lamps and a lot of snacks. There are 6-8 large refrigerators with more beverages than you can imagine and an eye sore of a trailer that serves coffee near the entrance of the gardens. I don't understand the reason for the poor planning. Why not a little bit of everything and less refrigerators and a cute built in coffee corner? The gardens are beautiful, but these changes have take from its ambiance.

It seems this place has come under new ownership and the service is not great. Food is overpriced, lemonade is $5 with no refills, just a bummer because it used to be a great part of the Descanso experience. Everything else about this place is wonderful, too bad.

The atmosphere is great. Nice environment. We each had a hot dog, chips,and their yummy pink lemonade. The hot dog was delicious with a nice presentation. More like a designer dog. Pink lemonade is a must here. The only reason I gave 4stars is because of their high prices, otherwise excellent food.

Revised menu- no snacks. Disappointing

If you want to have a great lunch at Descanso, definitely try the food @The Kitchen. I eat there all the time. The food is fresh and made with quality ingredients. I noticed that cleanliness & covid safety is a primary concern. I saw that all the people working in the kitchen wore masks. The menu has a large variety of food choices & they offer a number of drinks. There's also a children's menu. You can't go wrong eating at The Kitchen at Descanso.

Very expensive! The food is tasty but very pricy! Spent $60+ on a sandwich and a salad.The kitchen is located in the entry area so anyone can go and eat (you don’t have to pay admission) weekends (especially Sunday are Very busy!!

Over priced sandwiches - I wasn't overly impressed due to the cost.Pro Tip: Bring your own food to the Descanso Gardens.

Short menu but good. Something for everyone.

Great little menu here. Vegan options are limited, but my wife liked the grain salad. I had the Reuben, because no shame, and it was absolutely delish. Little one smacked in an assortment of fruits, pita chips, hummus, and our meals. Kinda pricey.

Such a disappointing lack of effort. Ordered a "grilled' sandwich. When it came, the bread looked like it had been on the grill for about 5 seconds (basically just bread; nothing grilled about it), the cheese hadn't melted at all and the other ingredients were cold.I'd've taken it back, but I was hungry and just wanted to go home. I wouldn't even waste my time with a review - but the lack of effort was so appalling, and at almost $20 (with tax) it just seemed... noteworthy.

So bad food. Yesterday I ordered the Roasted Chicken saladIt was so oily. While I was eating the sandwich, I smelled bad smell, when I came home I felt so bad, my stomach was killing me. Later on, I thrown up twice, and till now I am feeling so bad.

Very limited options, expensive
