“ Fun place for dinner. Food presentation and taste 5star quality. Wait staff was actually funny, and broke up the silence. They have a separate vegan menu - so if you are into that, make sure to ask for it. The outdoor seating was perfect. Tables were well spaced. Parking was a bit tough. Had to park on the grass. And didn't get towed! ”
“ This place is a lovely place to go for a fantastic dinner. My son and I had dinner reservations here for 7:00. There was a power outage for about 2 hours. With all that in mind we still got a seat at 7:30 when power came back on and it was like nothing happened. They handled the whole like a pro! ”
“ First time here, brought my pup and met friends to eat on the patio. What a beautiful setting,plenty of shade privacy and plants, can only imagine how cute it must be at night. The server was excellent and friendly, he made sure our ice teas were always full. Ordered Royale with cheese, tasty juicy and flavorful, friend ordered hot chicken sandwich and vegetarian portobello mushroom press. Everything was delicious wet also had side salads. We split an ice cream cookie dessert, disappointed the cookie was so hard. I would have given it a star except for the maitre d. We’re had 11:30 reservations and were seated a little late even though there were open tables and we were there early. At 1:05 the maitre d approached us and said “we have a reservation for this table that is waiting” we were finishing our dessert. I’ve never had anything so rude said to me. Is there a time limit on lunch here? R we’re talking snot coming back but that left a bad taste to the end of our lunch. ”
“ We were visiting from Eugene, Oregon and stumbled upon this restaurant on google. It is SO cute! We sat on the patio and some girlfriends and I could do some damage there during brunch. SO cute! We had the deviled eggs (do it!!), the cauliflower (was good but would be even better more caramelized), the tacos (SO good) - my parents got a wedge salad I believe and loved it! My mom also loved the bananas foster! ”
“ We stayed at the garland for two nights and ate almost every meal at the hotel or at the front yard, the food is fresh and super tasty. Everything we tried was so good. The staff are very nice and helpful. ”
