Normally I would recommend Gardenview but not after today. In the past we had very delightful dining experiences there, but this morning we were completely ignored! They were a bit busy when we arrived before 10 am for a specially planned brunch with my mom. We were all planning to share the large frittata. We could see there were only two waitresses/hostesses and understood there would be a wait. We were ok with that. One said we could sit at any table that was clean. We finally found a clean table, and we heard the other waitress say she would be back in a little bit as she whizzed by. Only she never did come back to our table. We didn’t have menus or place settings and no one even took our drink order. Several minutes ticked by while we watched at least three other parties get seated, and surprisingly, one lady ordered coffee and received it, and menus were brought to another party. Yet we continued to be ignored even when I raised my hand. It was like we were invisible. So, we left in disgust and moved on to the Market Diner, where we instantly received impeccable service. Our huge frittata was excellent, and my mom said their coffee was the best she ever had.

if your not a regular your treated differently. My family liked their food. Burnt toast should have been redone before bringing out. My wrap was wheat. I do not eat wheat. Did they ask no. The peppers and onions inside were so tiny they were not worth being in there. Too much cheese hardly any egg. I mentioned the wrap to the waitress. They don't have regular. I kept it and took it apart. Waitress gave only two sets of silverware. There were four of us. She went missing a couple times. I will never go back.

As much as I like supporting local business, I cannot say I like this place or would ever go back there. Ordered a small antipasto that came covered in pepperoni which was never listed on the menu. I don't eat or like pepperoni. Never came with what was listed on menu.. Waitress never came back to ask us how everything was. Won't go back.

The Food at this out-of-the-way Diner is not bad at all. I am pretty fussy and have never been shy about giving a Diner a bad review. I stopped in to this place while in the area about four years ago, and whenever I'm in the area since, usually on business, I find myself looking for it.
Now, the Gardenview Diner is not at all fancy. In fact, although not at all what I would call "run down," it nevertheless has a lower than average atmosphere, that says small town in a manner I can't seem to describe, other than to say it's -- well, homey.
Ok, but what it lacks in ambiance, it makes up in Food and Service. I can honestly say I've never had a bad breakfast here, which admittedly is the only food I've had here. But the Wait Staff is always friendly and cheerful, and when I came in the last time (yesterday) I had a very satisfactory meal, served very quickly in a manner that was more cheerful than any I've had at some of the "better" Diners in the Syracuse area. And that's something. Nothing about the setting is exceptional, but on the whole it leaves a good taste in my mouth.
Definitely four stars all around. I'll be back again.

Kid-friendliness: Always kids there. There are great options for kids and food generally comes out really fast. That's always a perk when you're with your child

Service was terrible, non of the servers came by to how the food was or to see if we needed refills on our drink and when wait 20 minutes for the check.
