   Excellent food both lunch and dinner. The crab cakes (some of the best I have had), chicken, and steak are excellent. I also love their Caesar salad and Tomato Basil Soup.

   My husband and I attended the Twilight Tuesdays dinner event; food and service were both very good. We ordered a berry salad, crab soup, filet mignon and scallops; everything was fresh and flavorful. My only issue is that the menu is SO limited and they run out of things quickly. By the time we sat down at 6:15 they had run out of roasted chicken, and there was one scallop dish left so my husband made sure to order that right away. There were only 2 entrees left to choose from after that. If you're interested in this event I would recommend trying to get a reservation for the earlier seating so you have more to choose from.

   The old stables transformed into a dining space created a charming and beautiful atmosphere for dining! We also enjoyed a drink outside on the patio which was lovely. The food was great and the service was exceptional by Josh! And, the best part was walking the gardens after our meal. Such a perfect date night!

   We enjoyed our visit to Ladew Gardens and the cafe. The food was very good overall. We did not think the flat bread was up to par, doughy, it just wasn't what we expected from a bread basket. The filet was requested medium rare and came out rare, it wasn't a huge problem because the person who ordered it can eat rare. The berry salad was excellent, the tomato soup was excellent, the shrimp and grits were delicious according to the person who ordered that dish. My chicken was good but a little tough, the potatoes were spot on as was the broccolini. Sauces were all great. One thing I would like the cafe to do is train the waitstaff not to try to take plates that clearly have food left on them. This happened twice and shouldn't have happened at all. That being said the wait staff were young and eager to do a good job. We enjoyed our time there and would recommend it but feel we should be fair when leaving a review.

   The flatbread with meat was lovely and the mushroom fettucine was fabulous! We especially like the home made breads served prior to the meal - last night was cornbread with a lovely honey butter. This really is a neighborhood gem located in beautiful gardens! Staff is friendly and helpful in menu selections.

   All of the food was made from scratch and simply amazing. The menu while limited covered all the bases from start to finish. Our server Josh was attentive and very personable. We decided dinner was so good to buy the membership to the gardens as we can’t wait to try next months menu. This was the perfect date night.

   We’ve been to the Café on several occasions now on Tuesday evenings. On the latest visit, we had reserved courtyard (outdoor) seating, and fortunately they were able to accommodate us inside as it was raining. The food is always great here, but not inexpensive. The service is super and attentive, and all of the staff seem deeply dedicated to making this a great experience for the diners. Will go again, likely several times this season.

    This was our first time having dinner at the cafe and it was delightful! We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner, it was so delicious! The presentation was beautiful. We had the opportunity to meet the Chefs and they were so humble even though their creations were sumptuous and beautiful.😋
