We love the back garden area for a fresh lunch and wine or a bakery dish and coffee. Cafe with fresh pastries and delicious coffee in the front or walk into the lush garden setting out back and order fresh made tasty food while sipping wine and listening to cascading water falling into fountain pools. For fine dining out in a main dinner area, the menu becomes even more extensive and personable. A lovely evening for sure!
Walk over to the ocean lookout park after a nice afternoon lunch in the gardens. Or drive up to this lounging place after visiting the Ballard Locks/fish ladder, or Golden Gardens Beach.
