Restaurants near Desert Botanical Garden

Always enjoy visiting the gardens & having lunch or dinner at your fine restaurant. Next year we will make dinner reservations & stay for holidays lights. Your food is always delicious & fresh. Farm to table is what we enjoy. Our waiter Josh was great. Will ask for him again. Thank you.

Fantastic meal, service and vibe! Entire staff was friendly - not just our servers. No complaints about a single thing. Our main server, Jeffrey was very nice to chat with and he was so attentive, it seemed he was always at our table when we needed anything. Don't skip the guacamole or grits! We all had beef entrees which were cooked perfectly and couldn't have tasted any better. Our birthday dessert was a pumpkin bread pudding and it was so delicious I might even like bread pudding now!

Food was good. Would’ve expected more reliable sourcing for the price. More grass fed beef, Kerrygold butter, better quality salt, etc. Great variety on the menu though. If I weren’t trying to eat better quality ingredients, there would be several tasty options.

We had a wonderful experience. The cocktails were so good and fitting for the holiday season. Our meals were excellent (chicken avocado salad and the turkey French dip). We also had the brie toast appetizer along with a side of the spicy rice. Everything was delicious. The service was very attentive but not over the top, thanks Leanna. We will dine there again.

Our anniversary dinner at Ocean 44 was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the hostess, whose energy set such a positive tone for the evening. The General Manager made our night even more special with a thoughtful anniversary note—such a personal touch that really meant a lot to us. The food was simply to die for. Every dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor and prepared to absolute perfection. Our server was phenomenal, with an impressive depth of knowledge about the menu. No question went unanswered, and their passion for the food and service shone through in every interaction. We couldn’t imagine a more perfect setting to celebrate such a special occasion. Ocean 44 truly made our anniversary unforgettable. We will absolutely be back!
