Review from Mary S.

okay - so you want to get out of the city on a saturday or sunday and spend some time with your friends or a lover.....but you don't want to drive or spend a ton of money.....take the fun, romantic ferry to staten island get the bus down richmond terrace and get off about 10 minutes later at snug harbor.....walk over to cafe botanica for lunch or dinner...it is by the botanical gardens...and the food is great - and its warm and out in nature .....a rewarding trip to ease a case of cementandskyscrapereitis.
they serve great homemade toasted pita bread with hummus as a freebie for the table. the burgers are big (8.50) and come with the french fried sweet potatoes - they are the best!!! and done as requested. The salmon is great, evertyhing else is too....
The menu is eclectic enough to please everyone - sandwiches, salads, omeletes for brunch. the menu is on the website...the fall dinner menu is a 3 course prix fix at 42.50- excellent gourmet fare. Everyone I know has has a great meal and a memorable experience. you can even call a taxi to get back to the ferry if you don't want to take the bus...it's a fun adventure - the smithsonian chinese scholars garden is next door - so you can get some culture in as well.....a good excuse to come the the island.Listed in: Get off the Staten Island…

Had a nice salad here once. Place is gone now, might have had something to do with rodents in their board of health ratings. I hope I didn't eat any rat poop...
