   Wonderful ambience, caring personable service staff and delicious food. Kitchen still seems to have a problem getting the orders out but the staff was on it with efficiency.

   Very disappointing. Our waiter forgot to put in our order and then brought a dessert menu. We reminded him we were still waiting for the lunch to be served and eventually he brought it. My burger was cold and tasteless. My guest’s. “Grain Bowl” had very little grain and was very skimpy. Overpriced, inefficient, boring. Lesson learned.

   WE came to celebrate my friends birthday. The food was really not up to standard. I came two years ago to this cafe and the food was much better. The service was good and the setup is unbeatable, as one can take the opportunity to relax and visit the gardens as well. My recommendation is that they fix the menu and quality of of food preparation. Dishes sound better than they taste and look. Some food was raw.

   We enjoyed this little gem inside the Botanical Garden. Food was great and our Bloody Mary's had a good kick to them -- Its definitely worth a visit if you are heading to the gardens

   Place settings do not include teaspoons. when i asked for one to stir cream in my coffee i was brought a soup spoon. No salt or pepper on table. Food bland and badly cooked: overdone scrambled eggs, mushy home fries, only 1 slice of bacon per order. $18 overcharge on bill. submitted credit card, receipt was returned with no pen to sign with. we had to find one amongst ourselves. overpriced, underwhelming.

    The food should be way more exciting considering the price and the $18 per person to just get in the gardens.

    It’s the only place you can sit inside to have a meal esp in cold and hot weather. But it’s nothing more than that. Just to support the garden.

    Delicious salad and the corn meal fries just had to be ordered after we saw them on another table. Excellent choice! Also the best waiter I've had in ages. He was helpful, attentive and friendly. I'd suggest a different dressing for the salad. I found it very salty but fortunately ordered it on the side so I just used a small amount.

    Lovely atmosphere and excellent service. Some dishes could be a bit larger (the regular salad) and the tacos could benefit from less-crispy shells and maybe something on the side? However, I still recommend it.

    Yellow Magnolia CaféResponded on May 11, 2022Hi Susan - Thank you so much for your kind words and lovely rating! I will be sure to share your feedback about the tacos and salad with the culinary team. Thank you for dining with us and we hope to see you dining with us again!

    The service was outstanding considering we were the last table of the day. Terrific food as well. The only negative was that the kitchen had run out of polenta fries.

    Lovely setting of course! Nice place to have a sitdown meal while enjoying the BBG. Service wonderful. We appreciated the space between tables and the good air circulation as COVID preventatives. The biscuits, Bloody Mary and scrambled eggs were all excellent. We were a bit disappointed in the fried chicken. It was slightly undercooked IMHO and the batter-coating was bland. I took the leftovers home, cut the chicken up, and stir-fried with garlic, salt and pepper and lemon, and it was delicious. My recommendation: The kitchen needs to jazz the batter up on that dish.

    Yellow Magnolia CaféResponded on May 5, 2022Hello Beth, Thank you so much for taking the time to send us your feedback! We will be sure to share all the above points with the culinary and management team. I do hope that we can see you dining with us again in the near future and leave you with nothing short of an amazing experience. Thank you!

    This wonderful restaurant was 1 month adjusting after having been closed during covid. My waiter was polite but inattentive. Food was tasty and beautifully presented but it seemed some adjustments was happening in the kitchen too. I’m certain all will return to perfection as I had experienced so often in years past.

    Had a pleasant brunch experience at this Cafe inside the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Friendly and attentive staff. Great food. Try the Biscuit box - two buttery goodness biscuits with two types of delicious butter and the mushrooms cheesesteak - simply decadent. Come and enjoy the flowers at BBG and dine here for brunch!

    Unfortunately it took 30 min before our server arrived at our table. There was a mix up on who was our server! We had a very nice waitress after all and she offered to comp us dessert and drinks. So we had comped coffee and shared the chocolate cake. The only issue was we wanted to be on time for a perform at 1:00 pm for the new smaller scale Sakura Matsuri weekends. We did make it on time after all.
