There are four dining options in the park, although Rat’s Restaurant is my clear favorite. Named for The Wind in the Willows character, it serves French country cuisine in a building that looks like it came out of an impressionist painting.

The drinks: cucumber-lime fresca and peach-ginger fuzz
What we ate: Seared Crab Cake with Quinoa and Dill-Yogurt Sauce
Turkey Croissant with Dill Aioli
Roasted Cauliflower with Marcona Almonds and Black Garlic
