It would be nice to leave note that you are not open for non-members from 8 to 10 40 min drive to find out what a shame.

There are terrace seats and inside, and we ate on the terrace in the shade of a tree. The food is creative and of high quality. It was enough for my purpose today, but it would be nice to have a little more variety on the menu.

Although it's not pictured, the hamburger I ordered from the outdoor grill was also delicious!

A bit pricey for food, but well worth it! They have vegan and vegetarian options as well as alcoholic drinks, would be an amazing date!

This is a good spot to recharge and refuel after walking around the beautiful botanical gardens.

Ordered a breakfast,bacon was good the hash browns were white but not raw or cold. Asked for the egg over easy it was over but fully cooked. Nice place good staff. Grill person needs a little instruction and it would be a good breakfast.
The coconut chocolate macarons are so good if you like coconut these are the best. I don't like Starbucks roast coffee. But I'm a Dunkin coffee guy so it's too roasted for me.

The gardens are beautiful. The cafe is fine. It's solid for a visit. However!!!! You used to be able to enter free-of-charge on your bike. Not any more. Disappointing.

Lovely little cafe. I was very surprised by the burger, they have an actual grill outside and it was fresh and tasty. Sat outside for the view it was so relaxing and beautiful

Few choices and my burger was not very good. Meat was salted unevenly and overcooked.

It was a gloomy, rainy day when I went so I decided to have something to drink macha latte . When it came it’s ice cold so I said I want hot not cold , the lady at the counter insisted that I take it because she will not make any more or I have to pay for a hot drink. I did not remember them asking me if I want hot or cold but the other lady said I ordered “cold” which I did not because the weather is already cold . Another person came & I just requested for a refund . The staff are not friendly nor accommodating .

Today I visited the restaurant. I am regretting that I ate there because now I am having stomachaches. Pizza was burnt till black, and the menu said short ribs ravioli but there were no ribs but noodles in super awkward sweet sauces. Also the $20 burger came with cheap chips not with fries.A year ago I had lunch and food was good, seems something has gone wrong there.

Quick and my salmon was delicious. The veggie mix had so many different things and they were all so good! Coffee was good too! Nice break from the walking.
