The meal I chose off the Birmingham restaurant week specials was the pan seared snapper over grits, this was very tasty with the sweet potato haystacks on top of it really added a little punch of flavor along with the cream sauce! The service was excellent, and the scenery was awesome. The only negative thing that I could find was the chairs were a little uncomfortable sitting in. however, I will come back and try something off of their regular menu because it all sounds really good and this is the first time ever being in in the restaurant at the botanical gardens.

Lovely restaurant inside Birmingham's botanical gardens. They have a great menu ranging from salads and sandwiches to full entrees. The service was excellent and the food was exquisite. We were there for restaurant week. I had the pan seared trigger fish and my wife had the tomato pie both were delicious.

What an amazingly perfect place to grab lunch! I dined here several times and was never disappointed. If you like gardens, or people watching, request an outside table and feast your eyes as you, well, feast.

Cute cafe and great food! The lunch specials are wonderful and the cost was outstanding. Definitely a must go to! I ordered the vegetable sandwich on focaccia bread w/ garlic aioli and Parmesan potato chips. Also had the raspberry lemonade. Top notch food!

Very relaxing lunch with the kids. Was honestly shocked the food was this good and very reasonably priced. I was expecting over priced frozen pizza or something but the food was great. My kids all ate for $4 each!! Staff was very friendly. Highly recommended if you are visiting the botanical gardens or even the zoo (it is a short walk from the zoo).

Wonderful atmosphere dining inside with ample room between parties to feel very safe. The pasta was great as was the tomato basil soup. We especially liked the bread before lunch and the stroll through the garden afterwards. Yet another cultural treasure in Birmingham.
