    The food, service and the view were outstanding. The first thing we noticed was the greeters who welcomed us as we left the elevator at the 10th floor. Then, we were seated right away, even though was had reservations for one hour later. They accommodated our request for an earlier dinner. The temple across the way was lit up at night and the views were stunning.

    My experience at the Garden Restaurant is usually very good; however, yesterday it wasn't. We had a party of nine and by the time we were seated, it took almost 45 minutes for the food to be brought out to our table. That's too long of a wait for lunch. On top of that, two of the dishes were forgotten and had to be brought out a few minutes later. Not the type of service I've come to expect from the Garden staff.

    I went with my sisters during our weekend getaway and we were so excited to try this place! While the ambiance and food are wonderful we just did not have a very involved waitress. She checked on us once and another waiter filled our waters once. Other than that we were stuck looking around for her and flagging her down. I would go again though, and hope for a different server, because that was the only negative about our experience!

    Excellent service! We were seated quickly, the server, Brett, was accessible and checked on our table often. He was very knowledgeable about the dishes and gave fabulous recommendations. We’ll be back soon.

    An amazing view, but the food was also VERY good. I had read mixed reviews online, but every dish we had was wonderful. There were 6 of us and we ordered a couple of appetizers for the table (spinach and artichoke dip and fried pickles) and we all ordered an entree. The presentation and taste were wonderful and the staff were all very friendly. Very affordable too.

    The Cobb salad was outstanding! My dad had the meatloaf and said it was just ok.... he didn’t finish it. We were with a group and ordered all 3 desserts to share... they were all very good. The creme brûlée was definitely memorable.... yum! Great service!

    This trip was a pre-anniversary dinner. Everything was wonderful. We will be celebrating our 52nd wedding anniversary on September 1. We attend The Garden on our 50th anniversary and wanted to begin a tradition. We were not disappointed. Thank you.

    We always love eating at the Garden Restaurant. However, we should have stayed with our usual preferences. My husband ordered the special which was a jalapeno hamburger. The hamburger and the bacon were way overcooked and very, very dry. The bun was equally dry. He poured his extra blue cheese salad dressing on the burger to make it more edible. For $15, he was very disappointed. We get much better burgers elsewhere, and for much less. The restaurant is always a bit noisy if you want private conversations. The tables are very close. However our waiter was awesome!
