    we had a lovely experience. We got there late, but they were still very accommodating. I was able to pick a wonderful spot with a couch. We ended up being the last people at the restaurant and they were very gracious.  I love how it’s not loud and crowded. We could actually hear ourselves talk unlike a lot of the other restaurants in Moscato, where they pack everyone in

    My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Gardenia. The ambiance and artful decor were inviting and elegant, with Victorian charm. The food was flavorful, beautifully presented, and abundant. I especially enjoyed the Brussels sprouts, crab cake, scallops, salmon, and dark chocolate mousse. The service was friendly and accommodating. The setting of Gardenia is absolutely ideal for hosting a variety of small events and celebrations.

    Food was good. Ambiance was a tad chaotic. Decor, as well. On the loud side. VERY COLD INSIDE.

    Service left something to be desired. Not sure if coursing items is an option at brunch so our starter and mains arrived all together. Coffee and NA beverage was great and arrived quickly but our prosecco bottle for the mimosa flight arrived several minutes after our food. Neither host or server acknowledged the birthday we were celebrating (I had marked this in the reservation notes so I'm not sure if they read them). Food was your typical brunch food and arrived in good time. Our water glasses sat empty for most of the time since there was no one around to check back on us.

    Easy Busy Saturday brunch reservation. They didn’t have any more indoor seating available but outdoor seating was gorgeous. Service was friendly & faster than expected for the brunch rush. Unique coffee choices & fresh food. Lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend!

    Great services and great food. We had breakfast to celebrate a birthday for my mother in law. All of us: our kids and grandkids, and the birthday lady were happy with service and the food.
