      I tried this place out many years ago and never returned. Don't remember disliking it but was never top of mind.

      Got tired of the local diner and finally decided to see what they had going on. So far we've been back twice in two weeks! Tried for breakfast and got the croissant sandwich with bacon. Very tasty but a little overpriced in my opinion but I get it--inflation, blah, blah, blah.

      Next time we checked them out for brunch and were very pleased. They have a very cute patio in the back so I will definitely return in the summer time.

      Also, $5 mimosas during brunch and they were perfect ratio. Highly recommend.

      My friend & I stopped by for lunch today, and we had a pleasant experience. The place itself is very rustic and cafe like, we decided to sit inside. We ordered the chicken tacos, vodka pasta, and freshly squeezed lemonade. We were both very pleased with our food. The lemonade really did taste freshly squeezed. The grilled chicken that came with the pasta was perfectly grilled. The service was pretty good no real complaints but they were a bit slow to bring out our food and check. I was okay with it because my friend and I were too busy catching up. If you're in the area I recommend stopping by for lunch. Our check was about $50 including tip. I would definitely return.

      I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the entire staff who made our end-of-school-year event a resounding success. The service provided exceeded all expectations! Ines, one of the coordinators, was instrumental in facilitating our reservation and ensuring that every detail was meticulously taken care of. She even went above and beyond by enhancing our package deal and making additional accommodations on the day of the event.

      Originally scheduled for a 2-hour duration, the open bar was graciously extended by an hour for our party. Furthermore, the team at Garden Café kindly opened the bar half an hour earlier than agreed, at 3:30 pm, to accommodate our needs. The food was not only delicious but also plentiful--so much so that there were leftovers, which some attendees happily took home.

      Overall, I couldn't have been more pleased with how everything turned out. Ines was absolutely fantastic, and I eagerly look forward to organizing future events with her assistance. Garden Café has certainly earned my highest recommendation for events, lunches, or dinners.

      Once again, thank you all for your outstanding efforts and for making our event memorable in every way!

      I recently held an event here for my staff. My coworker and I had been in communication with the manager, Ines, for 2 months leading up to the event. They were attentive from the beginning answering all of our questions promptly and even making adjustments to their menu for us. We had 50-60 people show up on the day of and they made sure we were well taken care of. Our event was initially a three hour event with 2 hours of open bar. We had previously agreed on starting the open bar an hour in to the event but on the day of (which just happened to be the hottest day of the year) our guests wanted to start drinking sooner. The manager promptly opened the bar within a half hour of our start time. Our event ended up running later, going an hour longer than previously planned but, Ines provided us with a full extra hour of open bar going above and beyond what was expected or even paid for. As part of the menu they did provide us a buffet where all of the food was great. We had appetizers and main dishes we previously agreed upon and was served by some of their wait staff. All in all, I would say it was a very successful event. Everything leading up to it ran smoothly and they were flexible in working with us with anything that may have popped up

      I came here for an event for my school's end of year party and had no idea what to expect. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Bartender was very nice as well. I immediately noticed the cleanliness of the place and the foods we were served were delicious. The atmosphere was nice and cozy. I'll definitely be visiting again.

      I went to the Garden Cafe for an event. Unfortunately, many of us were not very happy about it. The event was planned weeks ahead, yet when we arrived, the place was not ready. Drinks were only available half an hour late. The beer was not cooled and the drinks - Margharita, Sangria, ..- were not freshly mixed but poured from a cheap premixed jug, and tasted mostly sugary and were undrinkable for me. chesp mixes with cheap tequila. If that's what is served on a day to day basis, I am surprised anyone would order a drink, and if that was substituted because it was an event with a 2 hour open bar and the place wanted to maximize their earnings - it's appalling! the food was mediocre at best. Some appetizers, guacamole came out late and was a rather small bowl for about 60 people and the main dishes were kind of salty but bland - boiled green beans, white rice, grilled chicken and half a burger in half a bun, fries,.... no dessert.
      So I paid $85 , had no drink because they were undrinkable and the three sips I tried already made my stomach queasy, and some food that would have been maybe $20 in all.
      If that is how events are run - just don't do it because I will certainly not recommend that place. And talking to my friends who were there.... they won't either. So you lost about 50-60 potential customers who will never come back and won't recommend you. That's a shame!

      Horrible service! 3 of us had brunch over the weekend in the beautiful back patio. Only 2 other tables were occupied. Ordered simple egg dishes and after 40 minutes with no food (we were served coffee), i spoke to a waiter who said he would check. Came back and told us the waiter who took the order never sent our order to the kitchen. He said we would have our food in 5-10 minutes. It took 25 minutes. Food was bland and, somehow, cold! No one seemed to care. The 2 stars are solely for the ambience.
