The Garden Cafe & Savour In The Garden

I have enjoyed some wonderful lunches here, but last night I was finally able to get a dinner reservations for one of the coveted tables in the small dinning room. The meal was really exceptional. Every course was sheer culinary artistry.

The behaviour of the waiters was very rude and they were very racists. My friends and I kept being waited to be seated and the waiters were looking at us, but they would turn their heads and walk away and nobody came to serve us. After 10 minutes, a waiter showed up and said they cannot serve us. We were all international. I found it very offensive and rude. That is also terrible for the garden that has only that cafe as the only place that serves food or drink. You can only buy water at Garden to drink.

One of our favourite restaurants so far on our journeys around the province.After a drive down from Fredericton followed by a relatively long exploration of the gardens, this was just what we needed. Firstly, it felt as though they truly cared about your experience. The café grounds are just as beautiful as the gardens. On the inside, from the walls to the art to the tablecloths, it was all on theme which to us was about being bright, fresh, relaxing and a hint of luxury.The drinks we ended up ordering (a Cavit Pinot Grigio and Katy's Cove Beach Lemonade) even matched the colours of our tablecloth. I had the venison ragu with creamy polenta. The deer was local and well done while the mushrooms, demi-glace and tomato jam all added to the complexity of the meat. The creamy polenta had lots of flavour as it was peppered with herbs. My wife had the Pansotti and couldn't get enough. The pasta was a perfect Al denté and the cream sauce was delicious.We shared a crème brûlée with biscotti as the mains were very large for a lunch. The crème was perfect, just like everything else and dipping the biscotti in added a nice freshness to the cookie. Our server was very attentive and friendly which capped off the whole experience nicely.Don't forget to take a stroll through the mini gallery as well before you leave. It's a great addition.

A little too fancy/formal for me. I was in hiking gear and a cap all sweaty with my dog while everyone else was all hoity toity, mostly ekderky crowd. The waiters still treated me nicely and allowed us to sit out on the patio and brought a bowl of water out for my dog. I had the salad with chicken and ill admit it was probably one of the better salads I've had in my lifetime. The waiters were very formal I tried to break them by cracking jokes but I think they are robots they are so well trained to stay in character. I didn't fit in but it was still a great meal, service, and view of the garden

Exceptional and exciting food. It's consistently delicious, creatively plated and well served. PLEASE eat here.

What an exquisite experience!Our waiter was simply phenomenal, the scenery was beautiful, and the food was spectacular! You can always taste the difference when the chef is inspired and knows how to have fun! I love the extensive creativity on display here! Their daily specials menu featured as many dishes as the main menu and the waiter one just which ones to direct me to!Normally I don't like raw oysters, but these popcorn oysters on diced purple potatoes were EXCEPTIONAL! Crispy and light on the outside (no heavy breading here!) Yet creamy on the inside. Neither raw nor chewey, just right. Hats off to the chef for inspiring me to like these (normally) slimy things with his creative and highly skilled approach! Beautiful presentation on a bed of local kelp.The turkey leg tostadas were equally incredible! Who needs greasy pork when you can have turkey? The rouge cream on the bottom was next level amazing! I need that recipe, it's SO GOOD! The pickled veggies and cilantro on top balanced it out ever so harmoniously!The chocolate torte's presentation was as beautiful as it gets! The berry gel and carmel pearls was a creative addition! The tiny but of mint adds even more flavors to oscillate between and play with.My partner got the Cobb salad, which was awfully boring, but decent quality. I'm sure they have to keep classics like this on the menu for the less adventurous diners.

Alex is an amazing chef. Made the best choice for having him cater our wedding too.

Extraordinary meal with impeccable service. We had the nine course tasting menu with a bottle of rose wine. Each course was exceptional starting with the foie gras. Then oysters three ways followed by salmon gravlax. Next, the sun choke cappuccino was out of this world and truly unique. This was followed by an extraordinary risotto, perfectly cooked, with pea shoots, sheep’s cheese and garlic chives. This was followed by the “Ocean Floor” which consisted of butter sous vide lobster, seared halibut, sea asparagus, wild ramp cream, sabayon, Israeli CPU’s couscous and pink peppercorn confetti. For desserts, rhubarb and berries, followed by incredible cookies, then followed by chocolate truffles with sea salt ganache. Chef Alex Haun is to be applauded. The setting was perfect. A once in a lifetime meal. And best of all, everything served was locally grown in New Brunswick.

Waited to be seated for 15 minutes and none of the staff even acknowledged us

This tasting menu was just as good as the best tasting menus we've ever had. Chef Haun and his staff use a variety of techniques from molecular gastronomy to making pasta by hand. And yet, the menu is cohesive because all the ingredients are local. In fact, many of the herbs were picked in the Kingsbrae garden. This restaurant is a real delight and should not be missed if you are in the area!
