We had a quick lunch before visiting the National Museum of the Great Lakes. The food was excellent and the service attentive and friendly.

2 stars is being generous. 15 minute wait with no one ahead of us for a violet wrap, a lily bowl, and a side of pita and hummus. Wrap was drenched in water from the pickled items and falls apart from the start and a hair was found. The bowl had 3 pieces of steak tips and was drenched in vinaigrette also making it inedible after a couple bites. Hummus was good but pita that came with it was stale. Restaurant atmosphere would be describes as dirty. Again no one in the area and tables are dirty napkin dispensers are covered in food residue. All in all a bad experience for a $40 lunch and would probably only recommend getting pizza and burgers from here. At least they can’t mess that up….

We loved this place when it first opened and it has drastically gone downhill. I normally don’t do reviews like this, but need to inform the average person that this is what your tax dollars are funding. It was a hot day today and we decided to go here on a walk with our dog and to order a pizza. Went inside and ordered food, drinks. We tip the staff ALWAYS and they are super friendly and accommodating. We bring our hard earned money into this place; have came for numerous occasions with family for ice skating, etc. Try to sit down and have a nice time and it’s overrun by kids screaming, parents screaming at their kids, etc. We were trying to eat and there were several tables next to us open and a group of young kids decided to sit directly right of us to charge their phones and talk about how “they’re going to beat each other’s asses”, mind you these had to be 10-15 year old kids. Banging on the table. Parents of course nowhere to be found. The whole thing was exhausting. When they finally got up to leave we saw the Ranger and came up to us to tell us we couldn’t have our dog in there. Fair, I didn’t see it on the door until after we left. But our dog is super well behaved and was sitting there the whole time drinking water and eating chicken because it was so hot out. Maybe direct that attention to the kids yelling and attempting to beat each other up. Everything in Toledo gets ruined and people wonder why we don’t have nice things here. People ruin it. YOU’LL DO BETTER HERE, right? This place is a joke and we won’t be back.

The pizza was excellent!! We ordered the plain cheese, pepperoni, braised lamb and Margherita pizzas...all were phenomenal! The chef came and checked on us and took pride in his work. All of the staff were kind and friendly. I highly recommend and I look forward to the next time I come from AZ to visit!

The crust of the pizza and sauce were good - but the cheese was the worst texture ive ever experienced. It almost felt fake. When it came out of the oven it got cold fast which made it a harder texture. If you grab a peice of pizza it grabs all the cheese from the other slice. And they do not refill pops which is ridiculous for the price and amount they give you.

The service was nice, the area was nice, I got pizza and it wasn't very good though, it was thin, and the cheese was plastic-y, the chai latte was good, but their brownie was more of a fudge,

Their bowls are delicious. Good portion sizes, I am always stuffed. The wraps and pizza are also great. The brownies are huge! It's a great stop for lunch and amazing atmosphere or get takeout!!

If you get a chance to visit the Glass City Metropark be sure to stop in at The Garden to get food and drinks! I got the Pizza Special which was pepperoni, calamata olive and red pepper feta. The crust was phenomenal and you can tell the ingredients are high quality! Honestly, this was top 3 pizzas I've had in Toledo, easiest. The crust is probably #1.

On my way out I ordered a pizza to take home to my wife an daughter. I got the chicken artichoke. My wife said this was some of the best pizza she's ever had and it was her new favorite in town. She was already looking to setup a dinner date down there soon!

If you stop in for a pie be sure to ask if Warren is working and have him make your pizza!

4/5 star.......conditonally. Well I actually love the whole environment that this place is located. The food is good especially the pizza-but I am disappointed with the Smores I bought from them. I had rented 2 Cabanas on a recent Saturday for a group of 25 to 30 young people. So I ordered smores for 30. The quality was good but they gave me 5 roasting sticks. I could have easily bought the smores myself for $20 including the sticks. Price was almost $60. Came with 5 sticks. They did end up giving me 5 more sticks (so my group did have a total of 10 sticks) but that is kinda gross. I hated having to take a star away but again I could easily take away 2 more for the grossness of it and other reasons, see below. If the point is to share, it is still kinda gross to share sticks with people who were not my family. As far as friendlines it depends, the pizza/food preparers are always friendly and say hello even when your just standing in line but a few of the younger ones (running the registers/taking orders) are not friendly at all. Smile please and say hello and thank you. Was there on again on another day, it was Presidents day and good Lord. Friendly was not happeneing today. They take your order and look and act very unfriendly. No hello or thank you, they just look at you or not at all. Again I really do like this place but had to make this review because I would hate to loose this whole concept because of this type of stuff. Also phones should not be out when you are at work. Overall this place is nice but have seen some things heading downward which is sad. Still giving 4 stars even though my experience today would easily be a 2. Hope my recent experiences are not going to be the normal. Pizza we had was phenomenal!!!! Thank you.
