Food was tasty, very unique choices for a cafeteria style lunch. Paid more than say a regular diner serving the regular style food but the variety is there and they had many vegan choices. Sitting outside is nice. Inside not so much as the tables are in the travel area from the corridor to the restaraunt and the restaurant to the outside area. Some corral ropes would go along way to improving the flow so that people aren't walking by or standing next to as you eat.

The turkey fontina sandwich was like a jar of mayo with some fontina cheese I could not taste and some sliced processed turkey. The processed turkey was cold, despite it being called a hot sandwich. I couldn’t taste the fontina cheese. The mayo was supposed to be spicy and wasn’t. And it must have been premade and heated with a microwave convection oven because it was ready in a minute. The $16 portion (before tax) was small. It came with chips instead of a salad.
So let’s summarize: no taste, small portion, cooked poorly and cold, pre-made, processed and unhealth. I wouldn’t feed this food to my dog.
The drink choices looked equally bad. The wine was cheap and overpriced.
Have we no food standards and this is somehow acceptable?

It was definitely a very pleasant atmosphere and my meal was good. It was a little on the expensive side but not too bad.

This place was clearly hit-or-miss with a delicious butternut/apple soup and an absolutely tasteless chicken salad. I never mind ordering from a counter and/or getting a refill beverage myself, but I was appalled that I had to leave the restaurant and walk down a long hall to get more water. The place is clean and pretty with lovely views, but this is the first botanical garden cafe that I've found disappointing.

Awesome garden with a cool light display in the winter. Beautiful garden though.

First timer at the NEBG and we were hungry when we arrived. Two salads were ordered and one slice of pizza. The salads were filling and the pizza slice which seemed like a deep, was filling also. The Raspberry Lemonade was Great and Loved the face it was Free Refills. The prices were reasonable to Applebee's. We sat outside which was a great atmosphere and very clean.
I rarely leave reviews, but between the high prices and the extremely mediocre food I wanted to give my own warning and recommend visitors to the beautiful NEBG bring their own lunch, or maybe check out a restaurant in town. I got a tuna melt for a whopping $15, which was two halves of an English muffin with tuna salad, sliced tomato, and barely melted cheese on top. It was edible, but certainly not worth paying more than $8 for. My friend got chicken tenders, which were rubbery and tasteless (and I've rarely met a chicken strip I didn't like). The atmosphere of the cafe was very cute, with large windows and plenty of seating (granted it was 40 degrees and raining). I hope they can step up their game because it would be so nice to have a decent cafe to go with the amazing garden!

Very limited menu. My portabello melt was mostly cold when served. Staff warmed it further, which helped a little. Still, not worth $14 for reheated portabello caps on a dry English muffin, with a meager sprinkling of cheese.
Vegetarian options: Salads, soups, and sandwiches among their veggie offerings.

Absolutely love this place! A wonderful place to eat while you explore the Garden. My favorite is the chicken salad cranberry walnut sandwich. There are great 1/2 sandwich + soup deals, and there’s something for everyone here. Definitely recommend stopping by, whether you’re visiting the Garden or not.
