"Whether you’re a plant parent (of any gender) or someone who just loves a good theme, the atmosphere and aroma of Garden Party are unparalleled. Owner Kadra Evans, who recently competed in Food Network’s Supermarket Stakeout, has an absolutely beautiful space that finds a way to mix a tranquil terrarium with an eccentric mom’s backyard, porch swing and all. Garden Party offers a stunning small bites menu and drinks featuring herbs and garnishes grown right in the bar. How’s that for eating local?" - Kris Kilduff
