   It’s not clear when booking that it’s set times for different menus. We went for Mother’s Day lunch at 1pm and we were not impressed by the attitude of the staff or the choice on the menu. It wasn’t celebratory at all and it felt so disappointing ! No where when booking does it say the whole menu isn’t available.

   Fantastic lunch with friends. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Food was delicious and the Bloody Mary was the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend.

   First time to The Garden. Took 6 members of the local Lions Club with me. I'd made a reservation and we sat in the upstairs dining room. Everything was very good. The service was great even though it became very busy and because of that it was quite noisy upstairs and, though cold outside, it became uncomfortably hot! The staff opened windows for us on request. Think the heat rises up from the pizza oven below?

   We had the brunch on Sunday, late morning. One of us had the vegan version. They were both absolutely delicious. It is hard to believe that they can do such great food (none of it was big brand names, but all local, in my opinion) and so much of it! The best fried bread I have had in a long time. We will definitely be going back again.

    👍 The service, the arancini, the seating, the arancini, the burrata, the arancini, the wine (They appear to be importing directly from Italy - it was excellent), the fried fish, and, finally, the arancini. The company was also excellent, we ended up talking with three tables. 👎 The upstairs room was too hot when full, the smoked duck was a little overcooked, the stairs need better bannisters on either side for safety.

    Three of us decided to have the vegan breakfast which was really delicious (even for the non-vegans). As it got busier, it took quite a long time to receive our order of extra coffees but that is the only small negative as we all thought that the food and general service was very good.

    Second visit here and as lovely this time as last. Sharing platter is scrumptious and had fries but prefer the courgette fries tbh. Beautiful glass of wine half the cost of the platter lol but delicious and a pint of peroni! Quick efficient service lovely staff water with cucumber a lovely touch not having to ask. Will be back for cake next time !

    Great food, loved the decor and the waiting staff were spot on. Despite it being a quiet Tuesday night we didn't feel rushed off our table so they can go home. Only downside would be the pudding menu was a little disappointing.

    finally something different in cowes! italian themed interior and food, came for lunch but had a cheeky look at the evening tapas menu and can’t wait to bring friends. the staff were lovely and stopped to chat even though it was busy. was tempted to have one of the cocktails with my sandwich, but will save for next visit! well done team and good luck
