The Garden Houzz

Great owners, delicious Mediterranean foods and excellent service. Love it.
I recommend and would like you to try it.

My wife and I came here for our Anniversary, based on a recommendation from our daughter. Off the beaten path, this restaurant is a hidden gem! It is a quaint and comfortable place, with a cozy and inviting atmosphere. We were greeted and seated promptly and had a nice view out the window. We had the date night special and shared calamari and asparagus, along with salmon and pickerel. All the food was excellent, with fresh and tasty ingredients, along with perfect sized portions. Service was great from start to finish. We are very glad we got to have an Anniversary dinner here!

First time here for a friend's birthday and won't be back. Service was terrible, the person who's birthday it was didn't get the meal he ordered....food took well over a hour to come out and then the food was basically cold. For what you pay you don't get very much compared to other Greek restaurants. Overall not a great experience especially the fact we drove 45 minutes for something we did not enjoy

All the dishes here and the quality of the ingredients are very good. The food takes a little long but the chefs prepare it so meticulously that it is as if they are making art with food. I definitely recommend it.

It was my first time here I must say everything was amazing 👍😊❤️

Must try

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.
