Beautiful garden courtyard setting!
Right when we got to the DBG, I went in and scoped the place out. The hostess informed me that I should make reservations now for lunch (got there at 10am). Good idea! We had lots of time to do the butterfly exhibit and walk around the grounds a bit.
They were pretty busy when we got back there around noon, so call in for reservations if you're planning to go. We preferred to be seated outside to soak up the beautiful cool and sunny weather. They offered mimosas and bloody Mary...I was soooo tempted. Next time. My little cutie pie ordered grilled cheese sandwich with a side of fries and cranberry juice. When it came out, I knew he would not like it. Melted American cheese between two slices of white bread is not his thing. He's used to fontina, havarti or aged white cheddar and whole grain bread. After long walks, I crave for a good hearty salad...beet salad in this case. While I love the use of multi colored baby beets, I was disappointed in four round bunny pellet-like goat cheese. It was spread out on the plate to make it look like a good amount...it was barely peeking out. "You could do a little more lettuce, eh?" My husband snickered. I gave him the stink eye. I also gave his Mahi mahi tacos a look over. I should've gotten that. He said the blandness could've been remedied by a spicy salsa on the side. Nevermind. They do cater to an elderly crowd and had just opened and need to work the kinks out.
We're going back for the breakfast menu to try out the mimosas and bloody Marys with that! And MORE GOAT CHEESE please!!!
