Restaurants near Sherman Library Gardens

Ashley…what a gift! Such a positive and thoughtful person! Thank you for your kind attention!

The hosts have been always wonderful. The one who sat us yesterday was kind and accommodating. Our server was kind and quick! Our food was amazing and the seasonal cocktails were delicious!

Food was excellent! Ordered the very tasty well-seasoned, flaky crusted quiche with crisp cheese topped layer served with a beautiful mixed garden salad; also ordered the wild mushroom orecchiette in a light cream sauce (hint of truffle) with cute sized squashes and Japanese mushrooms. Next time will add a protein but nice vegan option. We felt like all the ingredients were picked straight from a garden. Now the best biscuits ever! For the first time tried their homemade buttermilk chive and gruyere biscuits. A bit pricey, takes around 17-20 min but TO-DIE-FOR. We ordered them because while waiting for our table, a local was waiting to p.up his biscuits to go, bake later. Says he does this every year for Thanksgiving and it's a must. So we did and it is a must!! Hats off to the Chef Jessica Roy; truly a specialty. Served with whipped butter and orange infused blossom honey. Yum yum. Drink was the tropical garden punch-refreshing. Wish we had room for dessert...next time for sure. Just be sure to plan ahead when you want to visit the garden too. Entrance is $5 pp. My mistake was visiting a couple days earlier, discovering the cafe and returning. Had to pay entrance fee again.

Sanibel Chicken was cooked perfectly: I ordered it well done and hot (I have had it where it was cold-ish in the center- yuk)- but it was excellent last night. The broccoli was perfect as well (but a steak knife would have helped)! And the final piece: tropical cake -- out of this world !!!

Jenna was a gem!! I took my friends from my church there and her service along with the supporting staff was amazing! Compliments to the chef for nice lamb chops! Looking forward to returning by end of year!!
