Gardens Restaurant

Very poor experience. I wish there was a minus star. Took over 20 minutes to get someone to take our order. Before we gave our order they told us they would be right out with our food. (that we did not order yet) Took 45 minutes to get our food. We both had the Teriyaki Salmon. It was a disaster. The salmon was way overcooked and very fishy tasting. I could not get most of my meat to release from the skin. Yes they served it with the skin on. I left half of my salmon on the plate. It came with cheese grits........there was no cheese just plain no taste. The grits had obviously been made ahead of time and reheated because they were lumpy. Oh did I mention the grits were ice cold. The best thing on the plate was the lemon wedge and the slice of bread. We told the waitress how bad it was. She went to tell the manager and the manager asked her if we ate the food or not. Dear Manager, Whether we ate or not is not a good indication of if the food was good or not. I ate as

Had this venue booked for a bridal shower next month. We had to cancel due to the difficulty and lack of communication between the event planners and us. On top of that, the tasting went horribly and no one was clear on what we could/should be picking out. The waitresses knew nothing about the food and the event planner that was there that day was NO help whatsoever. It is really a shame since the venue is gorgeous and people had said such great things about this place. Definitely will never use for future events.

We booked our daughter’s wedding reception at The Gardens Restaurant with Amy. Everything, and I truly mean everything, was perfect! Amy is so easy to work with....professional, knowledgeable, thorough and friendly. We enjoyed a complementary food tasting a week or so before the reception of the items we wanted to order. Thank you to the chef!! The location, in and of itself, is gorgeous! The food was delicious and we received many compliments throughout the event. The bartender & staff were wonderful! They delivered on everything they promised to do! It was the perfect staff at a beautiful venue! Thank you to Amy and all of the employees at The Gardens Restaurant for helping make our daughter’s wedding day so memorable!
