Vibrant blue and pink flowers cover  the walls of Son & Garden from floor to ceiling while glamorous golden chandeliers dangle over the tables. Delicate music plays in the background of various clips from fashion shows playing on a large LED screen. Long windows line the restaurant, allowing natural light to flow in while providing a warm feel.

The Asian American fusion restaurant — popular for its Instagram-worthy decor — opened a new location in 535 Bryant St, Palo Alto, marking a new addition to its previous locations in Menlo Park and San Francisco. The employees created a pleasant ambiance and provided exceptional service — even singing “Happy Birthday” to guests with drums and maracas. 

Arriving at the restaurant bright and early at about 9 a.m., there were a few parties there; when leaving just an hour and a half later, the entire place was nearly packed with guests eager for brunch. 

Fascinated by the beautiful decor and alluring environment, we sampled some of Son & Gardens most popular dishes.

French Toast ($19) The elaborate presentation of this french toast — covered with fruit, doused with a vibrant berry sauce and garnished with a rose — fit perfectly with Son & Garden’s photo-worthy decor. While the sweetness of the provided syrup slightly overpowered the taste of the french toast, the fruit added a pleasant fresh flavor and helped cut through the rich and sugary dish.
