   Food was excellent! Ordered the very tasty well-seasoned, flaky crusted quiche with crisp cheese topped layer served with a beautiful mixed garden salad; also ordered the wild mushroom orecchiette in a light cream sauce (hint of truffle) with cute sized squashes and Japanese mushrooms. Next time will add a protein but nice vegan option. We felt like all the ingredients were picked straight from a garden. Now the best biscuits ever! For the first time tried their homemade buttermilk chive and gruyere biscuits. A bit pricey, takes around 17-20 min but TO-DIE-FOR. We ordered them because while waiting for our table, a local was waiting to p.up his biscuits to go, bake later. Says he does this every year for Thanksgiving and it's a must. So we did and it is a must!! Hats off to the Chef Jessica Roy; truly a specialty. Served with whipped butter and orange infused blossom honey. Yum yum. Drink was the tropical garden punch-refreshing. Wish we had room for dessert...next time for sure. Just be sure to plan ahead when you want to visit the garden too. Entrance is $5 pp. My mistake was visiting a couple days earlier, discovering the cafe and returning. Had to pay entrance fee again.

   This is truly one of my favorite restaurants to go for lunch with my favorite girlfriends for a birthday celebration. We had an amazing time and the food was tremendous.

   Lovely venue and excellent food. It was usually busy today and it took awhile and 3 x asking to get service. Once we did Anthony was excellent and we were so happy to have him help us. Very attentive and friendly👍

   Laurie, thank you so much for your review and lovely compliments on our cuisine and venue; we really appreciate it! We sincerely apologize that you had to request service 3 times to be taken care of; that is not our service standard. But we are glad to hear that Anthony was able to provide excellent service once he attended to you. We hope that you will visit us again.

   The food at Dalia is very good and the setting at Sherman Library and Gardens is, of course, outstanding. But the prices have gone up too much. Their signature muffins used to be $18, they are now $28! Why? Costs are going down, not up. Very disappointing..... Is Dalia's trying to send the message that they are now only for very high income people?

   Martha, thank you so much for your review and compliments on our cuisine; we really appreciate it! Indeed, the costs have increased, as the cost of everything continues to go up. Additionally, we have recently changed our signature biscuit recipe, changing from traditional flour to organic European flour as it is a superior quality ingredient.

   We enjoyed our delicious lunch in the beautiful Sherman Gardens at 608 Dahlia. I would suggest smaller servings of the entree salads and quiche lunch entree. The are large enough to share.

   The Chef at 608 Dahlia is outstanding in every way. The presentation is pure creative art! The food is prepared to perfection and tastes fresh and organic …like right out of the garden. Not to mention you are surrounded by complete beauty from the gardens. One literally walks into a peaceful garden, beautiful seasonal decor with food made from heaven above. I am fortunate to frequent five star resorts and restaurants… I agree 608 Dahlia exceeded all my expectations and is far above five stars. 🙌 The Chef is truly stupendous!!!!
