Always an excellent meal, we visited for a birthday lunch this weekend and found the same consistent amazing service and food! I'm vegan and the fella is not, and he enjoyed his mac and cheese as much or more than the homemade version. We started off with the sweet potato wedges which were surprisingly fresh and substantial for an appetizer. I had the vegan BLT with avocado, and although eating it could be considered an Olympic sport, it's well worth the sandwich hands and many napkins needed! Our only regret this visit was not having time for dessert!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I want to like Garden Grille because it used to be one of my favorite vegan spots, but after repeated issues I can’t support it anymore. I’ve reluctantly complained in the past about excessive salt on the nachos. This time, I specifically ordered no beans, yet not only were beans added, there were extra beans and the container was smashed down into the food. Many of the chips were overcooked or burnt, and the amount of salt on them as well as the sweet potato wedges made the entire order inedible. I followed up directly and received a dismissive email response that offered no solution or attempt to retain a long-time customer. Given how often I’ve supported this restaurant over the years, that response was disappointing and ultimately what led me to stop giving them my business.

Took a little break and came back home from being in Florida, service was delightful so few old friends the quesadilla sweet potato is one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. The potatoes are so moist and sweet and it is just my overall favorite dish along with the truffle fries puppies
