The Garden Houzz

Our meal was horrible! Burnt, dry, not at all fresh and inedible.

Fantastic food at this small family-run hidden gem. Had a great experience from first walking in the door. Warm & cozy atmosphere, very attentive and friendly. It looks like everyone is family and pitches in where necessary to make sure you have a great experience. Everything was beautifully plated, properly portioned, and very obviously fresh and homemade. Will definitely be back again.

First time here we met our friend on the beautiful patio which offered a great ambiance. It was pleasant at 6 pm but got quite cool after 7:30. We loved it!! The lights were turned on by Hue the owner before it got too dark as we had a beautiful tree overhead. No birds or wasps to worry about. Quite a cute little hidden gem here. Our friend ordered the N.Y striploin with a creamy peppercorn sauce and a mound of mixed veggies. I tried a bite and it was phenomenal! However we had the seafood pasta and it appeared that they were short on scallops, shrimp and calamari and mussels. 3 scallops bigger than bay but not at all worthy of being a sea scallop. 2 calamari rings and 4 shrimp not big at all and 2 smaller ones and 2 mussels. It was hardly a good portion of pasta especially for the price. It was served with one little piece of garlic bread. Don’t bother with the 4 pieces of crab cakes if you want to call them that. It was more like crab bites and tasted like they were compressed. That was a big disappointment. We were given complimentary hummus and pita. Hiba our server was out of this world, outstanding! Very inviting, friendly lady and very attentive! She and the ambiance were the best part of our experience at this fine establishment. The food did not meet our expectations overall but we did have a lovely evening. Thank you Hiba and Hue. It was a 45 min drive and not sure we will return because of the portions and price.

I had heard great reviews for the food and was happy with our meal. The chicken souvlaki was tender, juicy and delicious with the pan fried perch equally so. And their presentation is definitely talented and detailed. But the night was brought to disappoint by the hour and a half wait for our food to come put with hardly any interaction from our servers. The hostess had apologized as they were quite busy that night, despite the dining room being less than half full. Perhaps the patio hosted more people than could be seen as it was dark and the lights didn't get turned on till near the end of the meal. I can only assume they had been short staffed in the kitchen and we would have appreciated some warning as we had come early at a little after 5pm, and with toddler who had to leave before her food came. They were gracious enough to own up to their short coming, comped my wife's penne that we brought home for her, and earned my respect for that.

Pickerel with cornmeal crust perfect but horrible and expensive cardboard sea bass with overcooked shrimp. Sad "roasted" beet salad. Mains served with inedible carrots and almost raw broccoli.

What can I say that would possibly do this place justice. We sat down to live music which was very good. All four of us enjoyed an incredible meal on the patio and we even fought over who got to pay! Owner came out and introduced himself to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was incredible, waitress was fantastic, and we will definitely be coming back next time we visit this wonderful area. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Casual and pleasant.
Service is polite, cheerful, and helpful.
Food- what can I say! Everything is outstanding. An expert fusion of Lebanese, Mediterranean,Italian, and Moroccan and Greek. It is an art when flavours blend expertly without competing against each other. The food at the Mediterranean Houzz is art! The kafta dish I enjoyed was the best ever with fabulous presentation and kafta so moist not a bite was spared. Houzz your restaurant is five star all the way around.

Got take-out while visiting Port Colborne and I was pleasantly surprised. So good, I wish I lived closer! Spent $60 and this ended up being about 3 meals for me.

Had dinner on the Patio at Garden Houzz and I would highly recommend it. The food was fantastic, the patio is comfortable, and the service is great! The Pickerel and Seafood pasta were particularly good.
