We recently hosted a baby shower at Cafe at the Gardens (Aldridge Gardens) and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! I was hosting the event for a friend, and the entire team went above and beyond to make the day so special.Alisha, the manager, was absolutely amazing—so kind, professional, and helpful throughout the whole planning process. Her assistant manager (I feel terrible for forgetting his name!) was also fantastic. They helped by having the tables set, provided linens for all the tables, and made sure we had everything we needed for our group of about 50–60 guests.They helped me choose a great menu that worked perfectly for our group. The food was the perfect amount, everything tasted great, and they had the full staff available to serve drinks and assist wherever needed. Even clean-up was a breeze—they took care of all the trash, which was a huge relief!The setting was beautiful, the staff was wonderful, and the price was incredibly reasonable. We’re so grateful for such a posh and stress-free experience. Highly recommend for any special event! Less

We drove a hour to eat there and left extremely disappointed. Luckily a local told us about Juji's Kitchen. I'd suggest going there instead. 😉 Less

A very good place to eat and also friendly service

Just left this place they are very rude. Forcing you to buy food that you do not want. I highly suggested anyone coming here to know exactly what you want before you order or the manager will tell you that he has to throw away the food and make you buy it anyway. Very unpleasant. I'll never eat here again or refer anyone to dine here.... More

Restaurant was cold inside. Bathrooms didn't have water

We were seated next to the Koi pond, which was very relaxing. The waiters were attentive. The food was delicious. We had the blueberry pancakes with a side of potatoes and scrambled eggs as well as the croissant sandwich with a side of potatoes.

The servers were short with their attitude and when we asked a question they seemed real inconvenienced by it.

Love the atrium feel but this time it smelt like dryer sheets and lots of cologne from servers. The servers were short with their attitude and when we asked a question they seemed real inconvenienced by it. The fried pickles were nothing like previously (crust was not panko), the catfish was mudcat, crabcake was flavorless and burnt on the edges, and the creme brulee was similiar to cool whip (tried key lime but it was right out of a box that could be purchased at any store). Wanted to say something but food was dropped off and that was that. We ate what we had because we were hungry. We ordered desert because one of our party really wanted to try-won't make that mistake again. Less

My wife took our kids for brunch and Photos with Santa. She called and made a reservation for a table in the Garden, not the restaurant, and when she arrived, she was seated in the restaurant because her reservation was "lost". I'm not sure how you can "lose" a reservation like it was physically misplaced. Then, she waited for 20-25 minutes for anyone to come and take her and my kid's drink order. She had to get up and ask the bartender who their server was supposed to be. The bartender was kind enough to take their order and help them. She informed me the restaurant only had 3 other tables that had people seated, so it was not like the restaurant server was overwhelmed. This was most likely because they were seated in the RESTAURANT instead of the GARDEN like she wanted when the reservation was made. After her and my kids finished their meal, after the terrible service, after notifying the bartender about the complete lack of service, NO ONE came to talk to her or even apologize for any of the problems she had. Not the bartender, no server, and no manager had the common courtesy to come and attempt to remedy the problems and oversight that occurred. Thankfully, a table over, that had other customers, saw how my family was treated and out of the kindness of their hearts, payed for my family's meal. So I'm glad we didn't have to pay for the terrible service, but I'm really dumbfounded that some random people, other customers at that, payed for my family's meal INSTEAD OF THE MANAGEMENT WHO COMPLETELY DROPPED THE BALL AT EVERY TURN. Regardless of the fact the the Photos with Santa was occurring at this location, this was an issue with what is a normal day to day operation. It seems the staff was not prepared to accommodate their guests and patrons. I am not happy one bit with how my wife and kids were treated. Less

Todo agradable

We went on a Friday at lunch and the service was friendly but pretty slow. I got the cranberry salad based on other reviews and I wasn’t disappointed! One negative was that the bathroom needed some serious attention. Otherwise, the experience definitely cool!... More

The food was fantastic and so was the atmosphere. Service was a little lacking. Condiments were not offered until our food was over halfway gone.

Love it!

Es un lugar muy bueno, comida muy deliciosa y gente muy amables

I used to like their food and maybe they have a new cook but my food the last two times I’ve been there recently the food was not good!

Great atmosphere.

Beautiful, relaxing lunch spot. Friendly staff and really good teas!

A beautiful experience and a must visit lunch spot when in Midland.

The food is great and the atmosphere is so relaxing. It’s all so peaceful!

Outstanding place for a quiet evening meal with friends or family. Highly recommended!

The service and atmosphere were great but the food was less than average. I ordered Blueberry French Toast, they were like a baked bread with croutons baked into it. It was cold and not very good.

This time the eggs were so thin it was like paper, the ham seemed to be sliced sandwich ham super thin, the laid on top cheese was like Velveeta slices very coagulation.

The food came out two minutes after we ordered it, and it was all pre-fab dried out and I’m pretty sure the scrambled eggs are powdered. Update to review, what would be the reason for me giving you another try? No one reached out no one offered any concessions. It doesn’t really give an inviting experience to come back. The food was terrible the service was subpar the only thing good about your establishment was the fish. I don’t think you pay for the fish in regards to labor. Good luck continuing your mediocre endeavor in an oil town. Less

Great place to eat. Great service and delicious food. Wonderful atmosphere.

This was a date night for my husband and I. Hostess was very kind. Music was live and it was great! Loved the garden atmosphere with the coy fish. But the service and the food was not very good. The server who took our order was nice, but not once did he check on us between the time we ordered our food and stopped him to ask for the check.. so we never got a refill on our drinks. A separate guy brought our food and he was not friendly. Did not ask if we needed anything. Left the food with us as if he was in a hurry. So I walked to the server station myself to grab the ketchup my husband wanted. The food was okay... Mozzarella sticks were the best thing we got. We had also got chips & queso. The queso tasted like nacho cheese from a can. My husband got a burger. Not seasoned well and not cooked to well done the way he had asked for. I got the crème de la crepes. It was basically an expensive taquito dish. Very basic and very bland. Don’t think we will return... I wanted this to be so good. I was excited when walking in and seeing the atmosphere and meeting the very kind hostess. But it just went downhill from there. Less

This was my first time eating here— met up with a friend, also her first time here. I really wanted to like this place. It was busy, but nothing terrible. We were seated quickly. She ordered an iced tea, and I ordered an iced water with lemon. We received those promptly but needed some time to look at the menu. After chit-chatting a bit and finally looking over the menu, my friend and I decided to order chips and queso, allowing us a little more time to look over the lunch menu. Our decisions were made fairly quickly, but our server never returned after taking our appetizer order. After about 45 minutes (my friend and I were caught up in conversation losing track of time at first), we realized we hadn’t even received out chips and queso so we stopped someone walking by. Turns out, she was a manager; she looked up our order and discovered our server never turned it in. She proceeded to turn in the appetizer order (which she was going to “comp” us for) and took our lunch order. Eventually, the chips and queso comes out along with carafes of iced tea and water and another 20 minutes or so goes by…still no lunch. By this time, the cafe is practically cleared out of lunch guests— most tables were empty. On top of it, after we had already been there more than an hour, another couple had walked in, was seated at the table next to us, orders taken, and food served to them. Keep in mind, all my friend and I ordered were a club sandwich with salad and a reuben with salad. We kindly asked again if our food would be out soon, and the original server said he would go check on it. We watched him go in and out of the kitchen area four more times with nothing in his hands and no update. I understand they were short-staffed today, however, there’s still no rhyme or reason why they can get some tables served quickly while ours couldn’t. Needless to say, 90 minutes later we gave up, left money on the table— more than enough to cover the chips and queso and my friend’s iced tea— and walked out. I give two stars for food only because I don’t feel it fair to give one when I really didn’t have a chance to try it. Service gets two stars only because the staff was nice, but it stops there. The atmosphere was enjoyable being in the greenhouse with its garden feel. Less

This is a former employer of mine. I knew what to expect. It's still a VERY good establishment.👍🏾👍🏾

Pleasant, clean and beautiful atmosphere, food was also good and tasty, excellent service, surely would recommend 👌.

The food wasn't that good and it was pricey but it's a great place for kids.

The place is nice, food just okay … do not eat the crab cake salad (horrible old taste)

Very disappointed. I thought maybe if I tried it with crackers. But no that didn't help at all. I ended eating my mom's other half of her burger. Which was excellent. Everyone else had burgers but me. Everyone really enjoyed their burgers. I really don't know why a soup would be so sweet 😩 😫 Less

The place looks nice, unfortunately if you don't the host will make sure they don't see you. I went in around lunch time, the place was pretty empty only about 4 tables taken. The host didn't bother to ask if I wanted to sit anywhere just told me to follow them aaaaalllllllll the way to the back.

Good food. Great atmosphere.

It was very nice and quiet food was very good service was awesome we are already recommending our friends to go by

Cool atmosphere and great food!!

The Chicken Poblano soup was divine. And the atmosphere out there, being surrounded by all those beautiful trees and plants makes you feel like you aren't even in the middle of the desert. Cafe at the Gardens, I would imagine, is the closest thing Midland offers to a romantic getaway.... More

Pretty good for Midland.

Great service and the atmosphere is definitely something y'all need to see to believe.

Great atmosphere, service and food!

Good food but a little pricey.

Great French Dip

Koi pond is awesome! The fish are bigger than my dog.

Just had lunch but very good

Nice place, enjoyed the food.

Great service and the food was delicious 😋

Excellent service and food

Loved it.wonderful

Amazing, loved the food and the music. The scenery is absolutely beautiful and servers are super nice.

Food was very good. Ambiance good, music entertaining. Was thinking it would be very hot in greenhouse but it was not. Great find in midland

We ordered the beef enchiladas to take home and they were wonderful, my family loved them, very meaty with just enough spice. Tonight were having the chicken alfredo and I am sure it will just as good. Will definitely be ordering this again.... More

I love this place so much. Cant wait to go back. The plants inside along with the pond filled with fish. It's so much fun and very exciting.

Fantastic service!

Service and food were excellent.

Sat outside by the koi pond. Lovely setting. Good food at good prices. Suitable for children

It got 2 stars cuz food is good, But Experience was ruined cuz I found hair in my Meat Patty, Manager asked to replace Buns, but hair was in the Actual Patty. Then Offered me a free dessert that was half the price of my plate. And Creme Brûlée wasn’t even that good. Prolly won’t come back... More

Food was amazing, servers were good, scenery was perfect, all of it was great

Food was good just had appetizers. Service was slow they need more help.

One of my favorite restaurants in all of Texas. The cafe is amazing.

Lovely. Place

I would first say I’ve had a wonderful experience here. The ambience and the staff are amazing as well, finding a place like this in midland is very difficult. I understand why he gets packed very quickly. I will be coming back next weekend to have another great time.... More

One of my favorite places for lunch, the atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing..the food and service is awesome. My fav is the pesto chicken panini!

Tricky based on what you order, dont get any form of pastrami, I had another person verify that it had an after taste of something like a high impact hydraulic lubricant, or an oil based paint or some sort of petroleum product. Other that that you have to get there by noon or the middle aged white women will have taken all of the tables. Rest of the menu seems to be fine.... More

Great food and great service.....

Context: Went with a group of 6. Total of about 7 tables at lunch rush (arrived ~12:15). Ate here last month with same coworkers. Pros: Staff is friendly, place is clean, good atmosphere, food has potential Cons: This is the second time we went and the second time that the food took close to an hour to get out. My catfish meal was good, but my coworker found a nice curly black hair in his quiche (none of us have black hair). Fortunately, the manager took care of his check like she should. I'm giving a 3 star review because I'm holding out hope that y'all can get food out at an acceptable time. Nobody expects this to be fast food times, but it's very telling when you have maybe 1/4 of your capacity during lunch rush and it still takes so long to get food out that our joking about just leaving and grabbing a pizza was starting to sound like a serious plan and we were 10 minutes from straight up walking out. The first time we went last month took an hour and a half to get our food with many more tables taken (we timed it). We absolutely understand how difficult it can be to get good help in Midland, but this is damaging as it makes us think of other places to go for lunch since we can't always afford to take upwards of a 2 hour lunch break. We might try again in a few months to see if it's gotten better. At least the waitstaff is nice. Less

Great food and fast service! Highly recommend eating here.

Food is always good and have never had any problems. The only complaint is the lack of cool air during lunch. If possible, ask to sit inside the building opposed to the patio. The patio is awesome during cooler weather. Other than, this place is awesome!... More

Inside or outside, a pleasant environment for a light meal; great service

Neat place and we enjoy the atmosphere.

This is one of our favorite luncheon spots when in Midland. The grandkids love to feed the Koi in the pools, and the garden setting (part of the greenhouse) is very relaxing. The service is always good, as is the food. A very eclectic menu should have something for everyone.... More

Very nice

Great food and cool atmosphere

This is a great evening for tasty food and delicious drinks on Thursday night's. But DO NOT come if you want to have a conversation. What used to be nice ambience music has turned into main attraction volume and conversing with your spouse/partner/date/friend is impossible.... More

Hidden gem! Loved spending time in this little oasis for a wedding this month. The kids were even able to feed the fish!

Loved the place

Great atmosphere, it is a great relief from the Midland summer heat.

Excellent find! A lovely water garden and cafe hidden amid a horticulture dream! Amber our waitress was fantastic and attentive. Food was wonderful!

Muy bueno

Been in several times and I never know what I will get. The food is hit or miss each time. Either someone in the kitchen knows what they are doing, or they really do not. The service is ok, never had anyone do a great job. The tables in the nursery area need work.... More
