Wonderful Food and Service. It was our First Time visiting High Hand Nursery. I was with my senior group the Goldenaries. The Nursery itself is absolutely Beautiful. The Cafe is either Inside, or Outdoor Seating. Our group was Inside the Beautiful Atrium. There was Ten...People in our Group. The Cafe was Really Busy at 11:30am. I highly Recommend you make Reservations. Sara, our Waitress, was Very Professional, Friendly and Attentive. My Friend and I had the Turkey Sandwich, with Potato Salad. We Both Enjoyed it. The Turkey was Moist, the Cranberry Chutney was very Good. Two people had Salad with Salmon, One person had a Pizza, One the Fish Tacos, One the Pull Pork Sandwich with House Made Potato Chips, All of us Enjoyed our Meals. They do offer desserts, which we opted not to have. Our Turkey Sandwich, came to $21.94. We Only had Water to Drink. For us it was Worth the Price. FYI: Party of Six , or more, a 20% Tip will be automatically added. You can ask for Separate Checks also. In fact Sara asked us if we would like to have Separate Checks, which we really appreciated. It was a Truly Enjoyable Experience.More

I visited the cafe with a friend and we sat outside in the heated area. I was glad I made a reservation so we did not have a 30 minute wait. The server was very nice and knowledgeable and quickly took our order. The pizza...that I ordered was delicious and my friend enjoyed the fish tacos. The brownie was also very delicious.More

Our dining experience today was lovely. There is no place within driving distance that I would rather have lunch than high hand cafe. The food and service was excellent as always and the ambience and setting cannot be surpassed. We are so thankful that we...get to eat at and experience High hand! Thank you!More

We weren't excited about driving two hours to have brunch but we were so glad we did. The High-Hand was a delightful surprise. The way the nursery is set up around the restaurant makes you feel as though you're eating in a beautiful garden. There...were four of us, and we all really enjoyed our brunch selections. Walking around the nursery and the shops in the shed was so interesting and fun. Even the drinks are cause for conversation - be sure to try the Hibiscus Sparkler!More

Took three special ladies in my life here a short time ago, my wife, our special friend and her daughter to High Hand Cafe for brunch. After a 30 minute wait we were seated on the outdoor patio area. We were greeted by our wait...person, Roxanne, who met our every need and requests during our lunch. The only down side was the small bone in my wife’s tuna sandwich. Everything else was stellar and made for a most enjoyable time. Our special friend had the shrimp salad with huge pieces of shrimp and pecan halves. I had the eggs Benedict which is something I have wanted for sometime but unable to find at other places. The little lady with us enjoyed her grilled cheese sandwich and fries. If we lived closer we would come here more frequently as the food and wait staff were very attentive and eager to serve in any way possible.More

This is a great restaurant located in the nursery. Outdoor seating and bar area. The food wasn’t anything special just standard food. It is a bit overpriced for something you can get elsewhere but the atmosphere was nice. The place is lovely, surrounded by the...nursery. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. The nursery itself has unique products. The plants were reasonably priced. They have an olive oil shop with samples of all their offerings of oil and vinegar. The food was good but don’t think I’d return for the food as it is overpriced.More

This is our “Go To” place for Valentine’s Day. Excellent pomegranate mimosas and a great lunch menu. The cobbler is large enough for two (or more).

I was so DC disappointed in the chicken salad sandwich. There was very little chicken salad on my not so fresh bread. And the only other item on my sandwich was iceberg lettuce. Their homemade potato chips are great. This cafe is overrated, but I...love their garden stuff.More

Enjoyed the food and service tremendously. After a great walk thru the grounds it was so very relaxing to enjoy a sumptuous lunch. I certainly would return for the food, service and the spectacular nursery.

This is a beautiful restaurant venue, with glass roll up doors, high ceilings, and a wonderful view of the outdoor pizza kitchen and grounds. We enjoyed lunch for four on a Friday afternoon. We ordered pork sliders, crab cakes, albacore tuna sandwiches, and salads. All...dishes were very good, and we lingered over lunch for a while, enjoying the ambiance, along with a glass of wine. We also stopped in the attached shop to purchase some jams and spreads. We will go back again to check out the nursery and other shops!More

I tried to edit my previous answer, but couldn't. It would have been better if I had said that the morning menu covers breakfast and/or brunch. I believe it is called their brunch menu.
