The gardens were absolutely beautiful. The entire place was so clean and well taken care of. It is truly a magical place. The landscape is absolutely breathtaking. Worth every penny of the admissions ticket. We can only immagine the work that must go into keeping a place of that size in such emaculate condition. The ONLY reason I didnt give it 5 stars was the on site restaurant. The food was absolutely terrible. 2 salads( consisting of 3 wedges of iceberg lettuce and a few tomatoes and we added chicken)2 cups of soup 3 teas and 2 desserts $60. With tip lunch was over $70! That price wouldn't be so bad, But the food was horrible. Three cubes of grilled chicken on the salad were so tough you couldnt chew them. The flavor was good but it was tough and textured as though it was microwaved. They could also use more places throughout the property to get a drink. There was almost nowhere. Having said all that, I realize this is a garden and not a theme park or restaurant. I would go again and again and plan to. Next time,however, I will plan to eat outside the garden and bring water.
