I can’t brag enough about this venue, the food, the service, the staff and atmosphere! We held our wedding reception the Saturday night before Easter. They made the process so easy and simple keeping us in the loop every step of the way sending us emails and texts. They were always there for any questions big or small. The food was exceptional! The setup, linens, settings, etc. was just extraordinary and more than we could’ve visualized! They were all so flexible and helpful before, during and after. The transition from a quaint cafe to a wedding venue is truly amazing! All of the windows allow a magical view and having the option to step out onto the patio was perfect!

A gem in Youngstown. Light lunch menu & beautiful environment. If you are in ytown, it’s a must go too, then walk the garden.

Part of the Metro Parks, Fellows Garden Complex, the Cafe is located in the Visitor Center. It is a beautiful complex and the Cafe fits right in. simple furnishings and beautiful views. The menu is simple. It lists Sunday Brunch as well as daily lunches. The food item are primarily sandwiches and salads. My salad plate included egg, tuna and chicken with shaved tomatos and onion to add to the pita bread. My partner had a chicken salad with fruit and olive garnishes. Service was friendly and prompt. Surprisingly, there was no offers of drink refills. Seating was available inside and out. Both have great views of the gardens.

Stopped by for lunch while visiting from Florida. I've always loved Kravitz on Belmont and I wasn't disappointed. The menu and food was perfect! Great service and I loved using the qr code to place my order and pay.
