Genteel eatery with floral decor, playful brunch plates & drinks
"Son & Garden in Menlo Park is a maximalist’s dream—floral ceilings, pastel lattes, and brunch plates that look like they were styled for a boudoir photoshoot. It’s the kind of place where your drink might come in a bear-shaped glass and your pancakes are garnished with edible flowers. The menu is playful and indulgent, with dishes like the Korean benedict, which layers bone-in short rib over kimchi fried rice and creamy hollandaise, while the deep-fried french toast stuffed with mascarpone walks the line between fluffy and crisp." - gabi moskowitz

"A few blocks down I spotted Son & Garden, described here as a fresh, over-the-top garden party contributing to the neighborhood’s dining scene." - Becky Duffett
"I saw Son & Garden, Farmhouse Kitchen’s newest restaurant, build a following on Instagram before it even opened—an influencer event got it to 5,000 followers pre-service—and it has since grown to about 12,000 followers; the restaurant’s over-the-top tea-party set of finger sandwiches, pastries, tea, and rosebuds has sold about 1,500 sets so far, showing how the platform can attract new customers as well as engage regulars." - Becky Duffett
"I must give an honorable mention to sister restaurant Son & Garden for that over-the-top afternoon tea party." - Becky Duffett
