The Gardens Café by Kathy G.

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.

Our family had a great lunch at the beautiful gardens today. Such prompt service and enjoyed basil tomato soup grilled cheese and fries with the kiddos

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!

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.
