Came here for a work lunch. The food was really good and the service was quick for our big party. Love coming here to eat. It makes you think that you are not in Midland but in the tropics. Fish tacos were really good.

Would highly suggest this place for kids because of the fish pond and the ambience. I’m gonna be honest. This was some of the worst food I’ve ever had for brunch. The food came out two minutes after we ordered it, and it was all pre-fab dried out and I’m pretty sure the scrambled eggs are powdered.

What an absolutely wonderful experience! My friends and I are from out of town and decided to meet up here because Midland is between all of us. From the moment we arrived it was a great experience. The staff is extremely friendly and personable. The scenery was gorgeous. The wait was not long at all. The restaurant wasn’t crowded. The food was DELICIOUS. It’s about 2 hours away from me but I will definitely be going back. Thank you for a beautiful lunch!

It was so fun stopping in the greenhouse for a bite to eat! The food was very fresh and tasty, although truthfully I wouldn’t recommend the drinks to my worst enemy! Lol. But otherwise, between the tasty food and the impeccable service? I’d recommend giving it a go! (Especially the key lime pie)

This was my first time eating here— met up with a friend, also her first time here. I really wanted to like this place. It was busy, but nothing terrible. We were seated quickly. She ordered an iced tea, and I ordered an iced water with lemon. We received those promptly but needed some time to look at the menu. After chit-chatting a bit and finally looking over the menu, my friend and I decided to order chips and queso, allowing us a little more time to look over the lunch menu. Our decisions were made fairly quickly, but our server never returned after taking our appetizer order. After about 45 minutes (my friend and I were caught up in conversation losing track of time at first), we realized we hadn’t even received out chips and queso so we stopped someone walking by. Turns out, she was a manager; she looked up our order and discovered our server never turned it in. She proceeded to turn in the appetizer order (which she was going to “comp” us for) and took our lunch order. Eventually, the chips and queso comes out along with carafes of iced tea and water and another 20 minutes or so goes by…still no lunch. By this time, the cafe is practically cleared out of lunch guests— most tables were empty. On top of it, after we had already been there more than an hour, another couple had walked in, was seated at the table next to us, orders taken, and food served to them. Keep in mind, all my friend and I ordered were a club sandwich with salad and a reuben with salad. We kindly asked again if our food would be out soon, and the original server said he would go check on it. We watched him go in and out of the kitchen area four more times with nothing in his hands and no update.
