“Great breakfast, good bloodys, and awesome staff. Never been disappointed.“

“I had the ribeye & sweet potato fries. The steak was under-seasoned, bland and barely seared. I like a good char on the outside & prefer flavor. The sweet potato fries were fantastic with the marshmallow dipping sauce. I also had brown rounds, they needed seasoning as well. If I return, I would order something else.“

“I recently dined at The Gardens Restaurant and was impressed by the overall atmosphere. The beautiful views of the lake, combined with the enchanting outdoor lights and torches, created a lovely setting for our meal. Our waitress was kind and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening.

As for the food, it was a mixed bag. The spinach and artichoke dip was a highlight—rich and flavorful. Unfortunately, my chizlic steak was overcooked and dry, which detracted from the experience. The drinks were on the pricey side, but they were well-crafted and complemented our meal nicely.

Overall, The Gardens Restaurant offers a wonderful ambiance and decent food, I would highly recommend it for a nice evening out.“
