The Kitchen At Descanso

WAY overpriced! 3 sandwiches and 4 drinks were over $70... in an outdoor patio setup?! Oh, well. It was like what you'd expect if at a professional sports event.

Descanso used to have a pretty good menu, albeit overpriced. Since the new remodel, they no longer offer cooked meals, instead have pre-cooked burgers, chicken fingers, etc under heat lamps and a lot of snacks. There are 6-8 large refrigerators with more beverages than you can imagine and an eye sore of a trailer that serves coffee near the entrance of the gardens. I don't understand the reason for the poor planning. Why not a little bit of everything and less refrigerators and a cute built in coffee corner? The gardens are beautiful, but these changes have take from its ambiance.

It seems this place has come under new ownership and the service is not great. Food is overpriced, lemonade is $5 with no refills, just a bummer because it used to be a great part of the Descanso experience. Everything else about this place is wonderful, too bad.

The atmosphere is great. Nice environment. We each had a hot dog, chips,and their yummy pink lemonade. The hot dog was delicious with a nice presentation. More like a designer dog. Pink lemonade is a must here. The only reason I gave 4stars is because of their high prices, otherwise excellent food.

On a visit from UK, have been before when they had a Restraunt, not there no only a Cafe.Food ok but overpriced, cold welcome, cold atmosphere.Felt uncomfortable, a female member of staff at ordering hatch unhelpful, I felt I was inconvenienceing her.Gardens lovely, well worth a visit.A haven in the middle of LA madness x
