STEM Kitchen + Garden is a hidden gem with a beautiful outdoor space featuring a stunning garden. The restaurant offers a unique dining experience with a range of drinks, including the Level 3 Spicy Marg. The food, such as the Tarragon Chicken Sandwich, is tasty and satisfying. Guests have enjoyed generous and delicious options like Nicoise, Soba Noodle, Kale salads, and Fish & Chips, all served with a friendly and attentive staff. The atmosphere is casual and light, making it an ideal spot for gatherings, pre-wedding meet-and-greet, or simply relaxing. The restaurant also features innovative desserts like lavender/honey ice cream, poached pear, and fresh fruit from their porch tree. Visitors can enjoy a terrific view of the bay, accessible via street parking, below the building, or a short walk from public transit. The chef is knowledgeable and accommodating, especially for dietary restrictions such as gluten-free options, though the fryer only handles gluten-free items. Overall, STEM Kitchen + Garden offers fresh, healthy food with nice service, making it a lovely place to indulge in a delicious meal.
