Restaurant
Enjoy lunch (or dinner on Tuesday evenings) at the newly redesigned Taste of the Gardens Café, with its dazzling new ceiling sculpture by renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. Named Lena’s Garden in honor of Lena Meijer, the sculpture, comprised of dozens of individual blown-glass pieces, spans the ceiling in a spectrum of colors from cool greens, cobalt blues and purples to brilliant oranges, yellows and reds. The revamped menu offers quick, grab-and-go lunches and entrees rivaling local fine-dining establishments. Prices range from $2.95 to $8.95. Beverages include coffee, tea, milk and soft drinks, as well as bottled juices, teas, specialty sodas, wine and beer (local and national brews). The renovated café now accommodates 170 indoors and 50 outdoors. The indoor area includes booth seating and the outdoor terrace features a picturesque water fountain. Taste of the Gardens Café is located close to the entrance and guests are not required to pay admission to enjoy the café. Free wireless internet is available. Come as often as you'd like to enjoy the enticing menu within a lovely setting.
