This is the most romantic, beautiful setting in a garden, restaurant where you can sit outside or inside. Everything is artistic and made with great care. Highly recommend taking home the gourmet herb biscuits.. Just a special special restaurant. Don’t miss it.
Vegetarian options: Many of the vegetarian ingredients are from the garden.

Top notch food and service! Great outdoor seating in a tranquil garden. The salmon is AMAZING! I’ve had it both times I’ve been there.

Such a darling restaurant with delicious food to back up the great atmosphere! I came here with some friends for a bachelorette brunch, and the hostess brought me a rose for the celebration which was super cute. The service was great, our waiter was friendly and attentive without ever making us feel rushed. The drinks were tasty and the perfect strength for brunch- not too strong, but enough to feel like you're not getting ripped off. As for the food, the fresh-baked biscuits were delicious! Everyone loved their food and it was all so fresh and perfectly prepared. I only wish they had a few more "substantial" brunch options- the day of our brunch had a different menu than when we made the reservation (which is totally understandable for a farm to table place!) but it seemed like the menu was almost all salads, with very few other options for some of us who were more hungry. That being said, for the quality of the food and cute location, I think the pricing is really reasonable and I would definitely come back for a special occasion!

i honestly really liked it here. the food and drinks were a little pricey, but was expected. it was so crowded in there and our table felt a little squished in the corner. because it was so crowded, the service was a little slower but everyone was very nice. definitely want to go back :)

We love this restaurant. Very pretty, great food, and nice service always. But this time we had to wait for table more than 30min even with a reservation. Always their service are very friendly and attentive but this time we had to wait more than 30min for main course after appetizer. They maybe too busy today but we wished they had to tell us how late it would be. We were sitting and during water more than 30min being hungry. Finally I asked a server after 30min when we could get our main course, but until then no one came to apologize the main course would be late... wished they had at least had informed us. Overall very nice food and we will come back...
Chef Jessica has created a delicious homemade pumpkin pie that tastes homemade—I'll definitely be back soon for another slice of heavenly pie! .....and the decor and fall decorations are more delightful each season—plaid fall colors lap blankets, pumpkin colors plaid pillows, and .....were those glittery flowers atop the credenza reminiscent of the carnivorous plants in the garden!!??!! Thanks, Chef Jessica, for creating a truly magical meal for us and our guests.
Wonderful food and service. At times I had a hard time carrying on a conversation due to the noise level, although the noise was not extreme. There are 2 small parking lots but both were full. The prices are quite high, and on top of that paid admission to the gardens is mandatory in order to eat here. The fall decor was very attractive.
The Gardens are beautiful and immaculate. The food is incredibly fresh and delicious. Jessica Roy is so friendly and comes out to greet diners and make suggestions. Amazing lunch date with my daughter. Peace and Love ❤️
Always a great experience. Chef Jessica's signature buttermilk chive and gruyere biscuits are not to be missed. We had dinner plans so decided to go with two of the entrée salads--The Dahlia and Cultivar, topped with salmon that we split. Salad super fresh, perfectly dressed and bountiful. Fish here consistently cooked perfectly. The menu had just changed to fall. Loved the all-organic gluten free pumpkin pie made with an almond crust. Nice wines by the glass. They were preparing for a wedding party. What a fabulous locale to hold a special celebration!

Beautiful grounds to walk around after a fabulous lunch. Chive/Guyere biscuits are a must....so good with the honey! Loved the Dahlia salad...it was delicious and huge. I will definitely be back.
Always a wonderful experience enjoying having a delicious meal in the exquisite gardens ! Such a special experience!! However, we are disappointed to learn that the restaurant is going to be removed from the garden level immersion to an upstairs location on a new second floor in the remodel of the Sherman Gardens!
Spent an early Saturday afternoon at Sherman Gardens with a friend. We lunched at 608 Dahlia Restaurant in the gardens. The food was fresh, exceptionally well prepared and beautifully plated. There was a diverse menu as well as interesting cocktails and mocktails. The service was great including smiles from the waitstaff. I'd HIGHLY recommend this delightful place to eat.
This is such a little amazing place! Inside a beautiful garden library, this place provides a warm welcome with garden-to-table cuisine. It’s a perfect daytime date with someone special. Yes, it’s $5 to get in but it’s worth it because after eating you can experience the beautiful garden.
Best part: The biscuits! They are made to order and are AMAZING. We went there for brunch, and were surrounded by the sweet smells of all of the flowers around us. From the hosts to the servers, bartenders, and chef, everyone was super inviting and nice. Great vegetarian options also!
Vegetarian options: Risotto and great appetizers
Parking: There is a lot across the street

Our server was great but the restaurant was crowded and the kitchen was really slow. It's also a pretty noisy place during the lunch hour. The food was delicious and the portions were healthy.
