About Quail Café

The Quail Café offers a delightful dining experience amidst the serene surroundings of the Filoli Gardens. The restaurant features a cozy, glass-covered dining area nestled among lush flora and fauna, creating a charming atmosphere. The menu boasts a selection of upscale-ish sandwiches, salads, and refreshments, including the popular turkey and cranberry sandwich. The desserts, particularly the upside-down pineapple cake, are highly recommended, while the high tea offers a good balance of savory and sweet items, including sandwiches and scones, though the tea selection is limited to NUMI tea. The ambiance is beautiful, with a garden-like feel enhanced by greenery and bonsai plants. The outdoor seating provides a lovely atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a meal, but diners should be cautious when navigating the uneven ground.

The café is an excellent spot for brunch with friends, especially for those looking to dine in a vintage style. Customers appreciate the fresh ingredients in the sandwiches and salads, but some find the food and desserts overpriced. The fruit tarts with a layer of chocolate on top of the tart crust are a popular choice, though they can be hard to find during the busy lunch time. The apricot bar is also recommended. Overall, the Quail Café is a place where the vibe takes precedence over the food and service.
