Garden Cafe & Lounge

It was a disaster! Made reservation for mother's day. They were 1 HOUR LATE. There was a long queue just to give them the reservation code and another long wait for the table. Twice we were given wrong table. They have overbooked hoping for profit. The place was so noisy and looked like a marketplace. Unable to enjoy meal.

I will preface this review by saying: 1) I'm not a person who generally goes out of my way to leave bad reviews 2) I have eaten here one time prior to this experience and it was good However, I would advise against going on a stat holiday as it seemed to me they were short staffed as to not have to stat pay to too many staff. I also would NOT recommend ordering the Meazers (ceaser with a food slider on top). We ordered 3 meazers and an iced tea, no additional food. We waited 15 minutes just to order, we were there 55 minutes and hadn't had our waters topped up and had to flag someone down to get out server to ask about our drink order! Somewhere between the server and the kitchen our order appeared to be missed. Our server made a lot of excuses that didn't make sense and 10 minutes after that, we got one of our drinks. The other 2 came as just a ceaser without the food. When the food finally came, it was visibly very burned and cold. The flavors were just ok but ultimately bland from what we tasted before we sent it back. The ceasers were good but one had what appeared to be cherry chunks in the bottom, maybe thats how they make them? When we asked to talk to the manager, he said they weren't expecting to be so busy ( there were 2 larger groups and one small table besides us). He was polite and did take off a portion of our bill. I was a server and I understand that mistakes happen but it was the lack of accountability that really frustrated us. It was laughable to wait over an hour to have a drink and and a couple bites of terrible good just to be met with excuses. The restaurant being understaffed doesn't seem like it should be made to be my problem. Ultimately, our evening was pretty ruined by the poor experience and our daughter didn't get to go swimming because by the time we finished dealing with this all she had to go to bed. I hear good things about the brunch though.

Waited for around 10 minutes for someone to place an order with, noone appeared so I went somewhere else.

Since covid, their menu has gotten a lot shorter, understandably. However, the food, service, and atmosphere is as great as ever. This is our go to breakfast date location.

Omg! The shrimp here is so awesome after four of us ate two orders, got another to go!! Service is beyond excellent! Loved our server, he was so nice!

Went for Christmas dinner - not buffet, and only a single item on the menu (turkey with all the traditional fixings) but choice of appetizer and dessert. Reasonably priced, fast and polite service, and the food was excellent.

I hope the daily lunch buffet will eventually return to what it was pre covid. I was last there March 21, 2022 and was pretty disappointed. The price most definitely does not reflect what is offered. I'll leave my 5 star rating in memory of what once was and in hopes of your lunch buffet returning to its former glory.

Great mother's day buffet. Unfortunately, we made what we thought was a reservation for 1230. We got there at 1225 and the line up took us 45 minutes to get through...? Uh, not how other restaurants treat reservations... In my experiences
