Parking: Street parking in front and a parking lot behind. There are stairs to be midful of. Outdoor eating and buffet breakfast. Quicker to have buffet than ordering of menu most of the time. Plenty to eat.

I love this place, the atmosphere the people who work there a greatThey go out of their way to be helpfulThe food is great some of which you can't find at other places.Wheelchair accessibility: I believe it would be difficult because of unlevel and brickflooring as it is outside. It was difficult for me using the walker.

Fortunately, I can say that the atmosphere is refreshing and beautiful. The hours say the restaurant closes at 2:30 p.m. and we arrived at 1:45 p.m. on a Friday. We were told about 5 minutes to be seated, but it was 15 or 20 minutes.Ordering was quicker, but we waited almost an hour for our food. Towards the end of that wait, a server came out and offered us pieces of coffee cake to placate us to which we said yes. I decided to go look in the gift shop and my husband texted me about 10 min later to tell me the food had arrived. In total, we were there almost two hours. Same with the couple next to us. The food: He really liked his spicy tortilla soup, but my chicken salad sandwich was almost flavorless and the sourdough bread on both of ours did not taste like sourdough. Potato salad okay. The coconut streusel cake was absolutely delicious and we took it with us (but the couple next to us was told you can't order it?). Don't think we'd go back if we pass through Yuma again.

Amazing and beautiful experience. Celebrating my daughter's birthday, we had a party of 30+ guests, our waitress Jaime was absolutely amazing! Thank you all so much for allowing us to celebrate in your garden ?

An absolute gem in the heart of downtown Yuma. The garden grounds are beautifully maintained. We loved hearing the birds chirping while enjoying breakfast. Thank you for the wonderful service.

Husband and I had a reservation for 8am this morning. We showed up and place was empty (which we loved). Outdoor atmosphere was beautiful, colorful, quaint, birds, plants and fruit trees everywhere. Staff was super attentive and polite, they offered to turn on outdoor heater for us as it was a little chilly, warmed us up perfectly.. Food was excellent. We ordered off the menu but they also had what looked like a delicious buffet(we just don't eat enough to get our money's worth otherwise we would've tried it). We'll definitely be going back.

An amazing heated outdoor dining experience. South West Quiche is my favorite and it came with fresh fruit and a fruit nut bread that was great. Spiced tea is what we drink. Hot when it's cool and iced when it's warm out. One of our "must go" restaurants when we're in Yuma AZ.

We didn't have a reservation but we were seated anyway. The restaurant had some traffic but wasn't full.One young lady took our drink order and brought out our tea and coffee pretty quickly. A different young lady took our order a couple of minutes later. We didn't ask for suggestions and none were offered. Our food came out in a very reasonable amount of time and tasted fine. My wife's tortilla soup portion was more of a cup than a bowl and included a pinch of shredded cheese, two tiny slivers of avocado and no meat. She ordered a side of black beans which were flavorless, right out of the can with a few chopped green onions on top. Not exactly what you'd expect for $16.The portion of sliced turkey on my sandwich was very hearty and the flavor was good. I had forgotten to order cranberry with it and would have asked for some had we ever been checked on. The next time an employee stopped by our table was to bring us the bill which she just dropped off without saying anything. Eventually the young lady that took our drink order (none of these people ever introduced themselves by the way) returned to ask if she could clear our plates. My wife had finished her soup so the waitress gladly took that away without offering to refill our drinks, asking how the food was, if we'd like dessert. Nothing.We sat a while longer wondering just how long we could stay without anyone bothering to actually SERVE us. Eventually drink order girl returned to ask if we'd like dessert to which I responded by airing my grievances. Besides apologizing, she tried to use the excuse that the restaurant was busy, which it wasn't but this place has not only servers, but runners to seat customers and bring food and drinks, which is supposed to free the servers up TO SERVE and somehow we still got neglected.After she walked away they sent over "cool girl" to smooth things over who started to sweet-talk us, calling us "luv" and "hun" and offering a free dessert, which I'd expect from a chain restaurant like Applebee's or Chili's but not from a local place that's been a fixture in town for decades and where seating is reservation-based. I wasn't out looking for a free meal. I was looking for an enjoyable dining experience. If that's what you're supposedly paying for when you go out to eat, the whole meal should've been free.But it isn't about the money. There were other tables getting plenty of attention. I felt like my wife and I were unwelcome. Consequently, I won't be returning.
