    Mother's Day menu
    Ramon F.

    I Brought my wife here for Mother's Day, hoping for a great experience. There was absolutely nothing special about this place. The views were non-existent, unless you're sitting outside. The service was mediocre at best and the food was average. Everything here is a la carte, but for a Mother's Day brunch they didn't have breakfast potatoes, smoked salmon or any specialty entrees. They didn't offer anything special for the mothers, not a rose not a champagne or chocolate or anything. The food took 35 minutes to come out of the kitchen and the restaurant was only half full. They changed the menu on this day by eliminating items, so it was limited, which was done intentionally because they anticipated being busy. After taking the food and drink orders, the server only the stopped at our table when we requested the check.

    Steak
    Taylor R.

    I loved this place! I was hesitant at first thinking that a restaurant inside an attraction would be sub-par, but they blew my food out of the water. It was fantastic and the service was great. I don't think I've ever had a plate as delicious as this one!

    Matcha espresso martini and Tropicalia
    Nikki C.

    Absolutely beautiful and delicious, all nestled into the wonderful environment of the gardens. Dinner service was fantastic, our server suggested fantastic win pairings and made sure our meal was delightful. For a starter, we snacked on the Cheese and Charcuterie plate, and for dinner, we selected the braised short rib and white lamb bolognese: DELICIOUS!!! Would love to get back here and try more selections from the fun and plentiful menu.

    Duck
    Brittany M.

    The restaurant is beautiful with floor to ceiling windows allowing you to fully take in the gardens while you stop in for a meal. The experience was better than I expected. The portion sizes of the food is quite small, especially considering the price. I ordered the duck and while the protein was seasoned beautifully, I didn't quite understand the beans as an accompaniment. The dish was very brown and was not aesthetically pleasing. It could use a revamp.

    Burger and fries.

    The restaurant is located within the Botanical Gardens, which you have to pay an entrance fee and there is a parking fee. But, if already in the Garden, then it's a good place to eat. The food was good. The burger and fries were delicious and the chicken with veggies was very good. The interior was pleasant and very clean. The service was good but it was slow, even though there seemed to be many wait staff and not too many diners.

    Tartare of beef
    Bill D.

    Came in today (Tuesday June 10, 2025) around 12:30pm while visiting the gardens. What a great day to have lunch on the patio. The weather was perfect did us anyway we got to sit on the patio, under the roof of the restaurant and enveloped in the gorgeous green canopy of the beautiful botanical gardens. We had to wait about 20 minutes to be seated even though there were many open tables. After being seated we waited about 15 minutes for our server. There seemed to be only 2 or possible 3 servers for the whole restaurant so perhaps they had a staffing shortage today. Luckily we happened to get the best server ever by the name of Akeem's, who is extremely pleasant, professional and efficient. We had already chosen our appetizers and entrees so we were able to give our orders right away. The food came out pretty quickly once we ordered which was great. For an appetizer to share we had the Tartare of Beef, which was wagyu beef, bone marrow, chanterelle and egg yolk, anchovie aioli with chips. The flavor of this was incredible, you could faintly taste every little ingredient, but they were distinct and yet melded together well. Next appetizer we had the poached pear/coppa de corse flatbread, which is basically pizza. This dish is incredibly good. I can't say I'm not sure if there was a pear flavor, it's hard to describe the flavor really, but it was incredibly fresh and tasty with a very light crust, topped with arugula. Really enjoyed this "pizza". Our entree was the dish and chips which normally is "halibut " and fries, but they had no halibut so substituted with rainbow trout. There's a big difference between halibut and rainbow trout but we bit the bullet and tried it. The trout was fresh tasting enough but the breading/crust really took away from the flavor, and it very dry. As for the fries, I'm not big on fries but these were very unique. I couldn't describe the flavor exactly, it was if they were seasoned with some kind of spices you might find on a piece of chicken or maybe even fish (?), again I'm not sure but they were extremely fresh, very tasty and incredibly light with very little grease for french fries. We just had eaters with our meals since we would be walking the gardens after. So for 3 small dishes and waters we paid $64. We probably should have not ordered the fish and chips since they didn't have halibut so that was a disappointment. Our server Ajeema was the spotlight of the visit. If more restaurants had staff members of such caliber the world would be a better place. Since it was my friends birthday today and Ajeemas is also close she was nice enough to bring out a small pastry to celebrate; man that was like the absolute best thing ever and really made our day! Thanks again Ajeema and hope you have the best birthday ever! Parking is ample and of course the location and atmosphere is impeccable. Definitely recommend.

    Steak and fries
    Kris H.

    Food was good. I had the steak. Flavorful but very skimp and small.. not "fine dining" enough to justify its small size for the price.. Ambience was cool but at the same time very busy. Waitress forgot my water when she poured every once else one but she was nice and attentive otherwise. The company I was with thought the food was solid as well. Not bad for a date night

    Drinks
    Miranda C.

    Well, not what I was hoping for. They were out of half of their cocktail menu. They were out of shrimp as well which is what my friend wanted on her salad. The chocolate cake was very dry. For a 125$ dinner I had higher hopes. Definitely won't come back. The ambiance was nice and I enjoyed the flatbread everything else was disappointing.

    Crab and peach salad with truffle fries and a martin
    Briauna W.

    Such a beautiful space, service was great even with such a busy lunch rush. They were out of quite a bit items of the small menu. I wanted some of them but I really enjoyed my 2nd choices very much. I had the crab n grilled peach salad with a side of truffle fries

    Mushroom risotto with salmon
    Jay D.

    I came at an off time by myself (well with a book) and it was just so pleasant. The waiter was friendly and nice, the space has this soft lighting with a lot of natural light too, and overall it felt really serene. I didn't feel rushed to leave either. I ordered the mushroom risotto with a side of salmon and a glass of wine and it was all delicious. I will say the only negative experience (if you could even call it negative) is that the hostess initially looked at me like I was a vagrant, said something along the lines of "are you looking for something?" and only softened when I said no that I wanted to eat (which was awkward because I've never had to state my purpose when walking into a restaurant before, but again it was an off time so that might've been why). Overall a nice experience and I would go back!

    The ambiance was beautiful, very fancy and our waiter was very nice the only thing is it was a but slow and wasn't very busy. The squash blossom risotto was AMAZING with Roasted corn. I wish there were more than just two squash blossoms because it was a lot of risotto. It was creamy and flavorful amd not too spicy, but like I said, I would have loved more of those blossoms on top. I'm definitely going to try to recreate this at home since I don't live around here to get it again. Risotto 5 stars, slow service docked a bit because I was super hungry haha

    Crab cake
    Sasha G.

    Service was great, beautiful atmosphere! We shared the harvest salad which was absolutely delicious! However we both ordered the crab cake which was basically inedible because it was too salty. I wish we had not ordered the same thing so we could see if other things were over salted but I gave it the benefit of the doubt and gave it 4 stars. Will return just because it's so beautiful and would be happy to order that harvest salad again!

    This restaurant is inside the Atlanta Botanical Garden in midtown Atlanta. The ambiance is beautiful with one side being all glass windows overlooking the gardens. The opposite wall contains beautiful six foot colorful paintings. It truly is a beautiful setting. The menu has starters, salads, sandwiches, entrees and dessert. It was a cool day and I was really looking forward to some soup. I mistook the French onion dip on the menu for French onion soup and ordered what I thought was soup, and a beet salad. I repeated the word soup again when my waiter asked me if I wanted the two items together and I responded that I would have the soup first. As you can imagine, I was surprised when the onion dip came out instead of soup. It was very tasty, buy not what I was expecting. I guess I need to be more careful when reading the menu. The beat salad was tasty, but not very substantial. If I returned to the gardens I would eat here again but would definitely order different items.

    chicken tartine with truffle wahtever....you can't even really taste it.

We had an 8 pm reservation but ended up getting there early. We were seated 30 minutes early with no problem. The rain was coming, so we were offered indoor seating, which worked out perfectly for our group of 6. Service was on point and timely this evening, and truly a genuine friendliness. I just wish I could remember her name. There are some delicious choices on the menu--meat, seafood, & vegetarian. The drinks were all well done and tasty--from the Old Fashions to the lemons drop to the shot of vodka. Our food came in good time, and every dish was prepared just right.

The igloo decor was cute and "wintery" with cozy blankets, a basket of treats and goodies, and a heater. The package included free ice-skating and unlimited games in the rooftop. Our waiter was awesome and very attentive to our needs. However, the experience wasn't comfortable enough for the high price we paid. Even though we had one heater, the igloo was still a bit cold. Also, the heater's cord was short, so we couldn't move much and had to stay right next to it. Maybe adding a second heater and a hot chocolate station in the igloo, along with some music, would make the space feel much cozier and nicer.
