Fantastic food, atmosphere and customer service. Coral is the best! Gonna miss your food!

If I could give 3.5 stars I would, but our experience wasn’t quite worth four stars. The food here is unique, prepared beautifully by one person who works really hard. My partner and I each got an entrée, and we split the cheeseboard as an appetizer… But after spending $69 we went somewhere else to finish our meal because we were still hungry. I regretted coming here after, honestly. I think this restaurant would really benefit from a sous chef to help coral out because we waited a seriously long amount of time, even for water to be brought to our table it took a while. We felt like the vibe was weird and I didn’t like the food as much as I did a couple years ago. I used to eat the cheeseboard for dinner every night but for $25 it was massively underwhelming

Wow...., fantastic food made by a genuine cook who's training within the industry has produced an not only an exceptional chef and an amazing business owner but also a humanitarian, who's decisions have not only maintained her business throughout the pandemic and the recession, but also maintained her employees position / pay through these hard times. If you can make the time to visit, it will be worth your while

Probably the best meal I’ve ever had!!! Everything was truly delicious. It WILL make you love your veggies. Bold flavors without being overwhelming. So so tasty and amazing wine pairings. I literally loved every single bite. It was presented so beautifully. They were also super nice and accommodated me being gluten free and were very thoughtful about it being my birthday! It feels so intimate yet relaxed and meeting Chef Coral was awesome! She is so kind and talented. Also the patio was beautiful!

I started going to Garden Kitchen for take out food in May 2020 and I am sorry I have not submitted a review sooner. Incredibly fresh ingredients, ever changing menu and always amazing food and wine. Simply great for people who eat vegan, gluten free or are meat lovers that want to consume humanely raised meats and eggs. Chef Coral, Sommelier Megan and host/server/talented jewelry designer Holly are all the best and make you feel like family. Great place to dine, get wine and relax. Recommend you give it a try!

Amazing food! The chef and owner is a beautiful soul, I love her passion! She definitely deserves 5 stars! I will return.

Some of the best food we've had in a long time. It's impressive when a charcuterie board is better than most entrees you've had recently. Everyone at our table tried something different and we were all highly impressed. The chef came out towards the end of the night to ensure everything was the highest quality. One person at our table had what we agreed was the best scallops any of us have had. This is a favorite place of our friends and I'm happy to say it easily lived up to the hype.

An authentic and original farm to table experience! Chef Coral and her sommelier are extremely knowledgeable in their food and wine offerings. As a vegan I continue to be blown away by my dining experience at Garden Kitchen. The courses are unique, thoughtful, delicious and filling! It's my favorite place to dine and I recommend it to EVERYONE! Easy parking, casual yet still fancy, superb customer service and honestly, the food speaks for itself. Bon appetit!

Fantastic food, wine, service, and atmosphere. The menu changes weekly but I imagine the level of perfection is common every week.

Hands down the absolute best meal I've ever had in 51 years on the earth. I can't even fully describe what I ate, because so many of the terms were either new to me or something I'd only heard on Top Chef. So as an ordinary eater, here's what I LOVED. You get to tell the chef about your dietary restrictions or preferences, and the menu is tailored to you personally. The ingredients are local sourced, fresh, and so delicious! The flavors in each dish are exquisite, and if you like wine, definitely do the wine pairings, because the combination of each dish with its wine pairing was perfection. My daughter took me to this restaurant, and I understand what she was raving about all this time. No matter if you are an ordinary eater who likes food like me OR a seasoned "foodie" who knows all about how to prepare and enjoy fine dining, you will LOVE it here. The setting is also lovely, and the hosts, chef, and sommelier were all so friendly, knowledgable, and truly made this feel like an intimate experience. Can't recommend highly enough!

Unbelievable all around experience. A 4 hour culinary adventure. Meet this amazing chef at your table and lose yourself in the beautiful, fresh and flavorful dishes and great conversation with your friends and or loved ones. U will want to eat every last bite, but be becareful the portions are generous and you want to leave room for every course!
