I loved the grilled breast chicken. Very flavourful and tasty. I woul like to also commend Felicia for such great service. She was kind and caring. Good job Felicia! I will definitely come back.

Mushroom is out of stock, we ordered the chicken wings and the waitress forgot to order it to kitchen. Pizza was good.

Would not recommend (at least for now). The food itself was good, but the overall experience left a lot to be desired. The menu was misleading—something even the waiter admitted. We had requested a meal to share, only to be told later that the portions were only enough for one person. Service was disappointingly slow, despite the restaurant being far from full (only about four tables were occupied). The sink area was filthy, and the tap barely had any water pressure, which was quite off-putting—especially considering the low number of guests at the time. The atmosphere was great, but everything else overshadowed it. I had reserved for two for a business meeting, and the experience ended up being embarrassing in front of my guest. There is definitely room for improvement, but as it stands, I rate it low and cannot recommend.

Loved the place. The ambience is great, I liked the rustic theme they have, the seating area outside has some of the greatest views. The food is also great and fairly priced with a wide variety.Their portions are decent. I had the pork which was rich in flavors. Would definitely recommend someone to eat.

I've been eating at the garden city branch for 10yrs plus ,I was a little disappointed today The service was not that great,yet inside part wasn't that busy ,just three tables ,I understand food can take a while but the drinks? ....took too long The lemonade was too watery...almost like mixed berry diluted with water Mocha ....tasted like it was burnt ....even after changing it ..was still not good ....I ended up taking it as takeaway Oreo Mint shake ...the mint overpowered everything else ....wasn't nice ..and in the end our waitress disappeared after we paid ....... The Lasagna was different this time ....not the usual taste The Rusticana 10/10 except we were only informed the fusilli wasn't available 35 minutes after placing the order Spaghetti in meatballs was awful 😔,it's like they just blended tomatoes and drowned the pasta in there .. Grilled chicken breast , maybe shouldn't be called "marinated " ? Mashed potatoes too salty but good ... Tiramisu 12/10 😃😃😃 definitely 5* Would we come back .... definitely because we've never be disappointed by tiramisu and the pizza
