Reviews Summary
Garden Kitchen & Bar is praised for its exceptional service, particularly from staff member Michael, and its vibrant, lush atmosphere. Diners enjoy delightful food experiences, including impressive seafood platters and perfectly cooked steaks. While many have a fantastic time, some reviews mention average sushi and oily eggplant, with one diner finding the happy hour selections mediocre.
"The Indulgent Seafood Platter at Garden Kitchen & Bar offers a comprehensive and delightful seafood experience, making it a perfect choice for special occasions or a luxurious treat. The seafood platter was an absolute showstopper—fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavour. From the plump oysters and juicy prawns to the perfectly cooked scallops and tender calamari, every element was cooked to perfection. The mix of hot and cold seafood offered a lovely variety, and the accompanying sides. Generous portions, stunning presentation, and top-quality produce made it perfect for sharing. If you’re a seafood lover, this platter is an absolute must!"

"We visited for the Monday steak and Shiraz deal and were blown away by the quality of the food. The steak was cooked perfectly and paired beautifully with the wine. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a relaxing night out. Special thanks to Michael for his excellent recommendations and outstanding service — he truly made our evening memorable."
Oksana Holovakha
"An absolutely wonderful evening with a truly memorable meal. If you’re lucky enough to have Michael as your waiter, you’re in for a treat—attentive, personable, and a pleasure to be served by. The experience was flawless from start to finish, and I can’t recommend their Pinot Noir highly enough—smooth, vibrant, and the perfect pairing for the night."
