Utterly disgusting food. A profound insult to the plants and animals that died to make it. How can such a lovely place stomach having such a horrible cafe?

It was very busy being a Sunday of Labor Day Weekend. However, the staff were very efficient and the food was good. We left feeling happy and full!

If I wanted gas station food, I would go to a gas station. Extortionately overpriced for what you get. The service was nice, however.

The food was prepackaged and the service was still slow. The best thing there was the free water. I'm was really disappointed in what they offered. It was also horrible quality! My daughter spit out grapes and said the grapes were bad. Bring your own food and picnic there.

I like the fruit tarts there. There is a layer of chocolate on top of the tart crust. But it is hard to find seats during the lunch time. And it seems that the desserts are overpriced.

Tiramisu was tasty, but the coffee should be skipped.

The service was slow. The food is ALL PRE PACKAGED, NO OPTION TO REMOVE HORSERADISH,for example. You pay $20 for one sandwich that you have to have ingredients like spinich,dill,horseradish or grapes in the lemon dill chicken salad sandwich. NO CHOICE,ALL OR NOTHING. We both were sick from our food before we even left the gardens. He went straight to the toilet from the table. Overpriced, minimal choices of food that is pre-packaged with horrible condiments. There was a finger nails worth of caramelized onion, a pinky finger nails worth. Save your time and money and skip this horrible,pre-packaged,cafeteria style cafe.
About the only thing this place is doing right is having recyclable or composable plates and utensils. The food is overpriced and unimpressive. Had to ask for salad dressing since the one that came with my salad was only half full. Food took forever. A small can of wine is $14.

I really appreciate the fresh ingredients in all of the sandwiches and salads, But, for the price, it wasn't very tasty. The only thing I recommend is their apricot bar.

I never did experience a meal here at the Quail Cafe but it sure looks cool and cozy. I hope to indulge on my next visit to this magnificent location that is the Filoli Estate. 👍😎

The aesthetic of this cafe is top-notch. The location is ideal! However, the service and the quality of the food didn't match the high standards set by this historic place. Unfortunately, my experience at the cafe was impacted by the unfriendly and unhelpful staff. The staff members seemed disinterested and made no effort to engage with customers. When I inquired about a menu item, the staff member responded dismissively. One time I ordered latte and a sandwich. Latte was decent but sandwich was cold. My request for a simple warm up was met with resistance. Another time we ordered “Tea for two” that came with Numi tea bags! For $65 can you at least brew a decent loose leaf tea?
I think with some improvements in the kitchen and service, this could be a truly exceptional cafe! It also would be great if they could consider using reusable tableware instead of disposable ones.
