    Some of the best food we've had in a long time. It's impressive when a charcuterie board is better than most entrees you've had recently. Everyone at our table tried something different and we were all highly impressed. The chef came out towards the end of the night to ensure everything was the highest quality. One person at our table had what we agreed was the best scallops any of us have had. This is a favorite place of our friends and I'm happy to say it easily lived up to the hype.

    Totally outstanding experience. Hours are 3-9 Tues-Sat with neighborhood parking. Food is fresh and colorful and absolutely delicious. Menu is constantly changing with new dishes that follow the seasons. Highly recommended - Holly, hostess was nice to speak to and very informative and the owner also went out to greet us and check in and made the meal very welcoming.

    This was my husband and I first visit to this restaurant. The food was impeccable, and the ingredients combined in our dishes were genius. This resteraunt is for the true foodie, that truly understand the art of bringing food, color and textures to life.

    Probably the best meal I’ve ever had!!! Everything was truly delicious. It WILL make you love your veggies. Bold flavors without being overwhelming. So so tasty and amazing wine pairings. I literally loved every single bite. It was presented so beautifully. They were also super nice and accommodated me being gluten free and were very thoughtful about it being my birthday! It feels so intimate yet relaxed and meeting Chef Coral was awesome! She is so kind and talented. Also the patio was beautiful!

    If I could give 3.5 stars I would, but our experience wasn’t quite worth four stars. The food here is unique, prepared beautifully by one person who works really hard. My partner and I each got an entrée, and we split the cheeseboard as an appetizer… But after spending $69 we went somewhere else to finish our meal because we were still hungry. I regretted coming here after, honestly. I think this restaurant would really benefit from a sous chef to help coral out because we waited a seriously long amount of time, even for water to be brought to our table it took a while. We felt like the vibe was weird and I didn’t like the food as much as I did a couple years ago. I used to eat the cheeseboard for dinner every night but for $25 it was massively underwhelming

    Fantastic food, wine, service, and atmosphere. The menu changes weekly but I imagine the level of perfection is common every week.

    The food is absolutely amazing not only original dishes but you will find organic and all or most ingredients are local when possible. And for beer fans they carry an imperial IPA thats its brewed beautifully. You can't go wrong with this place. Btw service is the best ive had.

    One of our favorite little secrets in Rolando. Awesome farm to table food and a great selection of local wine. They recently added a small bar and wine tasting room too. The chef and owner, Coral, is amazing and a lot of fun too. All the staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

    First visit. My wife and I love veg forward restaurants. This one hit all the marks for food and atmosphere. Cute little garden neighborhood style place with quaint tables/settings. Very friendly staff! A+ there. The menu was well laid out and offered some provocative dining choices with unique ingredients not often seen. We ordered the grilled artichoke covered in seasoned bread crumbs and served on a bed of arugula and a side of grilled meyer lemon. It was cooked very well and pretty good. Next up we got the cheese/meat board. It has 3 cheeses, one of them a winner and two run of the mills as well as some salami with some unexpected supporting cast, like scratch strawberry jam, scratch curry sauce as well as the usual suspects, like seasoned nuts and olives. We were surprised to hear that they roasted their own nuts and created custom seasoning blends in house. This was discovered when the owner/head chef came up to our table to introduce herself and inquire about our meal. Certainly a special moment, for a chef to come and rub elbows with the diners. Last plate was the cheese ravioli with 7hr tomato sauce and side salad with beets. They offered about five dressings for the salad. I suspect that they are all house made. We chose the green garlic. It was very well done. The ravioli were a bit underwhelming and this may have been because the cheese was bland and the sauce was subtle. For 22 bux, the serving size of about 6 or 7 ravioli was far too small for the price. All in all, we were impressed by the skills of the kitchen and thoughtfulness of the plate makings, however we were surprised by the high cost and small serving size. Being this place has been open for 2 years, we thought they would have figured out this balancing act of size VS price dilemma. It challenges many an establishment.

    I come here 1x month with my aunt. It's a very relaxing place to have dinner and still have a conversation with your company. The food is always great, never had a negative experience. The food has been creative, fresh, and has very high quality ingredients. The wines are always good, And are paired nicely with the meal. The outdoor patio feeling is a nice change from being couped up in doors. Deserts are always something I save room for too ! This is fast becoming one of my favourite restaurants! I look forward to coming here everytime.

    Wow...., fantastic food made by a genuine cook who's training within the industry has produced an not only an exceptional chef and an amazing business owner but also a humanitarian, who's decisions have not only maintained her business throughout the pandemic and the recession, but also maintained her employees position / pay through these hard times. If you can make the time to visit, it will be worth your while

    I started going to Garden Kitchen for take out food in May 2020 and I am sorry I have not submitted a review sooner. Incredibly fresh ingredients, ever changing menu and always amazing food and wine. Simply great for people who eat vegan, gluten free or are meat lovers that want to consume humanely raised meats and eggs. Chef Coral, Sommelier Megan and host/server/talented jewelry designer Holly are all the best and make you feel like family. Great place to dine, get wine and relax. Recommend you give it a try!

    I enjoyed every bite. Loved the back patio ambiance with the lights especially in the evening. Small and divvy looking from the outside but it is worth a try. The lamb was some of the best I've had.

    Great food, interesting sides,vegetarian and gluten free options. Great local wine list. The chef selects wines from Baja to Temecula. Outdoor seating only under a cover and with heaters available. Street parking only. Well worth a visit even with the limitations.

    Hands down the absolute best meal I've ever had in 51 years on the earth. I can't even fully describe what I ate, because so many of the terms were either new to me or something I'd only heard on Top Chef. So as an ordinary eater, here's what I LOVED. You get to tell the chef about your dietary restrictions or preferences, and the menu is tailored to you personally. The ingredients are local sourced, fresh, and so delicious! The flavors in each dish are exquisite, and if you like wine, definitely do the wine pairings, because the combination of each dish with its wine pairing was perfection. My daughter took me to this restaurant, and I understand what she was raving about all this time. No matter if you are an ordinary eater who likes food like me OR a seasoned "foodie" who knows all about how to prepare and enjoy fine dining, you will LOVE it here. The setting is also lovely, and the hosts, chef, and sommelier were all so friendly, knowledgable, and truly made this feel like an intimate experience. Can't recommend highly enough!
