The restaurant was nice. View and service was great. My steak was not so much. My cut of meat was over looked at some point and had so much connective tissue that half the steak went to waste because I could cut or chew it. And just kinda ruined the whole meal total. And was upset that it cost over 50.00 for my and my wife.

This was a delightful place to eat! We were celebrating my friend’s birthday and enjoyed the note on the table telling her Happy Birthday. Our waitress was very efficient and friendly. We arrived at 11:00 am as it opened and had the restaurant to ourselves for the first 30 minutes. The food was plentiful and flavorful. The view was also a huge plus!

We never got seated. The hostess was not impressed that we were early, by 15 minutes, checked our reservation and made us wait until the reservation time. I could clearly see several open tables. I felt scolded for arriving early. I waited until 2 minutes past our reservation time, watching two other couples be seated ahead us, before leaving. With such a poor display of customer service, I didn't want to see how bad the service could be beyond the doorway. The first impression speaks a lot for what is ahead in any restaurant experience. I received two texts on the way out of the building, the second text had a phone number attached to it. I called the number with the intention of talking to a manager. It took nearly 20 minutes before I was able to speak with a real person. The manager explained that they wanted to seat us by a window, for our special occasion which I indicted on the initial online reservation. This was never mentioned to me, and could have been explained to me by the hostess. However, I don't recall any movement of patrons leaving the restaurant. If you're not going to have patience with me for arriving early, I'm going to have zero patience with you if I'm not seated on time and not a minute late. I hope this helps in making future patron's experiences more enjoyable.

As always, we enjoyed our meal at The Garden. The food is really good, if a little pricey, but it's worth it. The portions are large, and they give you all-you-can-eat Lion House rolls! You won't go away hungry. We had a reservation and had to wait a little longer than I might have expected, but it wasn't horribly long. We didn't get a table by the window, but a table right next to ours opened up moments after we sat. I wish they would have asked if we'd prefer to wait another 5 minutes to sit there. Otherwise, it was great.

The ambience and warmth of this restaurant can’t be beat, as it overlooks Temple Square and the sparkling city. The staff was friendly and accommodating, though our appetizers did not come more than a few minutes before the dinner.The food was good, appropriate for the price range, and since we were in good company the evening overall was beautiful and memorable.

Disappointing. We chose this restaurant for overseas friend to have an authentic bbq experience. The meat was ok. Ribs were probably the best value. Sides of mashed potato and collard greens were cold, as were the french fries. The server clearly wasn't happy I asked for them to be replaced and I had nearly finished my meal before they came back. The server was very unattentive. We didn't see her for a long time and then she came with the check. Didn't even ask if we wanted dessert! I wouldn't rush back there.

We really enjoyed the view and our food was good, but there were a few things that we were disappointed with... Our food, while delicious, took a very long time to come, and there was never any offer to get us more rolls while we waited, beyond the initial 1 per person we were given when we first sat down. In fact, it seemed like our waiter kind of tried to avoid us so we wouldn't ask for more. Our water was never refilled and we all ran out and wished for more. Our meals, while delicious, weren't totally filling. Again, a second roll while we waited would have helped with this, but instead we left still feeling a little bit hungry. It was a nice dinner, but we didn't leave feeling like we got a great value for our money.
