The food is always exceptional here and the wait staff very friendly. You never wait long for drink refills, and they are always checking to make sure everything is okay. The atmosphere is also very outdoorsy and relaxing. Great place to eat and spend a little time just looking around.

WORST service in my LIFE!!! Don't go with a group, whatever you do! In 1-1/2 hours I received ONE glass of water, with NO refills. When I went to the cash register area to get more, a waitress was offended and haughty at MY annoyance! I said that I was served my food and had finished it and was tired of waiting for a refill. She was argumentive and said that they were doing "the best they could" and she was sorry, in a completely sarcastic tone, as if I was unreasonable. Then when I paid, I was given NO bill, just told the total. I wondered why it was so high and only paid an extra dollar for the tip since it was such poor service. NOW I realize the tip was included in the total, yet the cashier didn't tell me! She let me walk away quickly without pointing that out, nor offering me any change. As I was leaving, one lady server was interested, and lent an apologetic ear, but then the OWNER came out and joined in with the same EXCUSES as the first RUDE server. The owner pretty much erased the improved

feelings that the nice lady had created. Don't know when or IF I'll EVER go back to Garden Cafe!!

Great atmosphere, great food and great music. They had a guy playing guitar, his own great version of all the rock style songs you know (softly so you could converse and enjoy your dinner or have an appetizer and a drink). The food was unbelievable. I had the Salmon grilled on a cedar plank and it was the best i ever had. It's quaint and romantic but caual and fun. Highly recommnended!
