My girlfriend and I celebrated 8 years together,and we have been wanting to try the garden club for the longest time and we both had a wonderful dinner
This place is a classic diner! It was clean and very retro. The food was good (again, it's a diner) but full bar and great service. The server and bus person were both young but impressively attentive.

The Garden Club – 5 Star Review
From the moment you step into The Garden Club, you’re greeted by an atmosphere that’s both elegant and inviting. The décor perfectly balances sophistication with cozy charm, making it an ideal spot for brunch, dinner, or just a relaxing coffee.

We went here to have dinner while waiting to pick up a family member from San Francisco Airport. This place is about 10 minutes away which made it an easy drive.
The restaurant has a full bar and dining area. The place has the feel of a family Italian restaurant. It is quaint and comfortable.
We both ordered the calamari steak which came with both soup and salad included.
The soup was a minestrone - 9/10 - which was delicious, hearty, and felt like it was simmering all day. I think I could've easily just eaten the soup and salad and would have been very happy.
The house salad - 8/10 - had a wonderful homemade Italian dressing. This was the best house salad I have ever had.
Calamari steak - 7/10 - this was cooked very nicely and was piled high with garlic. The garlic wasn't overpowering at all and mixed well with the tartar sauce. The mash potatoes - 8.5/10 - were amazing and creamy.
The menu had a wide variety of dishes. Given how good everything we had was, I would guess everything on the menu is likely just as good.
Last but not least our server Audrey was great. She was attentive, pleasant, always there when we needed something, but never there too much. Audrey made the whole experience just that much better.
I would highly recommend.

Very over priced food. Very mediocre service and atmosphere. Would not recommend if you have respect for your money.

Stick to the entrée. Appetizers are very underwhelming. Just not much there.

I've been eating at this steak place for over a decade, and it's still as delicious as ever - great value for the money.

I just had a sandwich here but the place was brimming with life. Absolutely loved the ambience and that in afternoon. Unfortunately just tried a chicken sandwich. The server was sweet though - she tried her best to bring the order given a super busy day at the venue. If it's possible I would love to come back here and try more authentic Italian food out here.
