Nice place, but leave the kids at home as their not welcome

We like the Garden Center Cafe, but feel the proprietor would rather we did not bring our kids! This is tough as we find they need to eat too.

Should be one of the nicest in town...

We have enjoyed the Garden Center Cafe for years… and considered it one of the nicest spots in Fallbrook for a nice lunch.

It is upscale… spotless… and has a wonderful almost enchanting setting in the Oaks and Boulders. The menu reads beautifully… and the food presentations are beautiful.

Recently when I saw a critical review show up… with regard to the proprietor… I just took it as … they had a bad day… both the diner and the proprietor.

Yesterday we had a business lunch with a couple moving to Fallbrook from New Jersey. We chose the Garden Center because it is so pleasant… and the food has always been excellent.

The table service was excellent.. but the attitude of the proprietor (not our server) was rude. We were dissapointed with the experience and it was not the Lunch we would have preferred.

Don’t know if it has changed hands… but something has changed…. and something more needs to change.

Dishes I tried:

Turkey on Croissant

Salad was devine… excellent fresh greens and wonderful dressing… with lots of tasty goat cheese

Sandwich looked great… but the turkey was old… tasted old. Had we not been on a business lunch we would have sent it back… and I’m sure they would have been gracious

Shrimp on Croissant

Same excellent salad that came with the Turkey Sanwich.

Croissant was fresh and flaky…
Greens were excellent and crisp…
Avocado was great… always is…
and… the mild Jalapeno sauce was wonderful…
Messy to eat… but even though it was a Business Lunch… I licked my fingers… tempted to lick the plate…
