The food, the staff, and atmosphere is beyond excellent! Been coming back every weekend. This place is not only consistent, they’ve been killing it with the desserts, and I’m not really sweets kind of person.
Fabulous comfort food restaurant and neighborhood gem. More commonly known for its lunchtime crowd and brunches, it is also a great dinner destination. The Frenched pork chop with red cabbage was excellent, particularly with a side of their whipped mash potatoes. Their chicken and dumplings is also an excellent choice. Give it a try!
Omg.... this is the best pancake ive had ever in my life... idk what's in it maybe its the syrup... Service was great... THIS ARE THE BEST PANCAKES YOU WILL EVER EAT, the eggs need some season salt... but overall im impressed its either a 1 or a 5 with me... I didnt have a wait because I was eating solo... didnt get a chance to check out the beautiful back... but the food is amazing... I will bring everyone I know here and it will be highly recommended...
Although the ambiance at Garden Café is wonderful, I would only recommend it with reservations, and not the kind where you call ahead. While the ingredients are farm fresh, the dishes still felt heavy and unhealthy in preparation. The fried okra was flavorless and oily, the gnocchi settled like a brick in the stomach, and the biscuit was salty to the point it burned my mouth. Many menu items were already unavailable early in the evening, which was disappointing. Our server was very personable, but seemed overwhelmed despite the restaurant not being particularly busy. Service overall was disorganized: food was often delivered to the wrong tables, and at one point the bartender was running food and stopped at three different tables before finally finding the right one. Overall, a beautiful setting, but the food, service, and execution left a lot to be desired.
Patio seating is cool especially low 80s temp in Dallas. As a Gardner I appreciate having meal in a garden. I loved sweet potato pancakes, side of potatoes. I think they can do better job with Bloody Merry.
