In Short – Highland's patio is like a secret garden, shaded by trees and surrounded by flowers and a lush lawn. Inside, small dining rooms give diners a feeling of intimacy. The menu is packed with fresh goods from the farmers' market. Entrees include halibut in spicy tomato broth beneath fresh mozzarella and basil; Paella with scallops, lobster chunks and chorizo; and meaty tenderloin. A warm brownie smothered in ice cream and caramel is a must-have dessert.

so so

Highlands garden came highly recommended to us so we gave it a try for our anniversary. We looked at the menu on line before going and it looked OK. When we arrived the menu was condensed and the choices were quite average. The service was very good and the waiter was well informed on both food and wines and the restaurant is charming. We ordered appetizers, entrees and dessert. One entree ordered was very good, the other came out with the meat dry, the potatos and veggies cold and the sauce cold and flavorless. The waiter replaced it with another plate and it was much better although uninspired and a dish any average home cook could have prepared. Both appetizers and desserts were quite good. I am not sure I would give this restaurant another try.

  • Pros: good service
  • Cons: food uninspired

Super dissapointed

by Grandma7 at Citysearch

We have eaten at this restaurant before and had a fine experience. With that said, we decided to have our anniversary and my finace's belated birthday dinner here. The best way to sum up our experience this time would be to call it a really bad joke. We got seated at not such a disirable table and expressed that it was our anniversary and asked if they had anything more private. The guy we sat us told us it was many people's anniversary. Nice! Our wine was bad, food SO was so lower dece and the service was so stuffy. Get over yourselves! We couldn't get out of there fast enough. You can only take so many disappointments and then you have to throw in the towel. I have never written a review before but I felt compelled to do so after this experience. We could here the server talking about us in the kitchen. Real nice! Thanks for the memories...hey...at least Barack won!

Terrific Outdoor Dining Atmosphere

by highlandsbobby at Citysearch

I have enjoyed the Highlands Garden Cafe many times over the years. The outdoor atmosphere on a warm, Summer evening is terrific - a welcome departure from other restaurants in the Highlands neighborhood. Unfortunately, the quality of the food has noticeably declined in recent months. There needs to be more of a selection on the nightly menu. Service isn't what it used to be either, as most of the wait staff seems prone to frequent turnover. Prices are reasonable, however, and it's still an enjoyable place to bring friends. Inside dining is dark and depressing, so you're best bet is to visit the Cafe on a warm evening. I've only tried the brunch once and the food and service were extremely disappointing.

  • Pros: Outdoor Atmosphere
  • Cons: Menu Selection
