Customer Reviews

"While The Garden has a bored ambiance, the culinary experience falls short with flavors that don’t quite hit the mark. The presence of flies can be quite bothersome, making it challenging to savor your beer in peace. Additionally, the pricing seems steep considering the overall experience."

"The spaghetti with the sauce wasn’t prepared well, wasn’t nice , couldn’t enjoy the meal at all. Surrounded by a lot of flies and insect when you seat outside by the Heineken …"

"This is a very nice and secret garden, not the usually kind of gardens you find around. Cool and soft music on background beautiful ambience, good but slow services, the waiters are always around to assist."
