The recently remodeled Taste of the Gardens Cafe celebrates the natural evironment in a big way. Sun-soaked with natural light, the space is grounded in a neutral palette of creams, medium-toned solid woods, and vibrant greenery, serving up an interior experience that is both refreshing and relaxing.
The cafe features a dazzling glass ceiling sculpture by renowned artist Dale Chihuly. Named Lena’s Garden, the sculpture seemingly dances arcoss the ceiling. The work of art is comprised of dozens of individual blown-glass pieces in a spectrum of colors from cool greens to cobalt blues and purples to brilliant oranges, yellows, and reds.

The cafe's designers used a variety of tables and chairs to break up the space, offering guests a variety of dining experiences including booth seating, bar height communal tables, and standard dining tables. You'll find our Dylan Communal Tables and Spartan Tables with solid wood tops in the cafe.
