"We take our Mother to the Garden Cafe every Saturday before Mother's Day. She LOVES it and the buffet is perfectly done. We always appreciate that the manager comes around and asks us how we are liking everything and makes us laugh.
Great place for groups and our server was so professional and happy to be there!
We will always keep this tradition, thank you so much!"

"Some of the best fresh squeezed orange juice I've ever had! Lg selection of freshly squeezed smoothies. Pleasantly surprised to eat sushi and not just your run of the mill salmon either. No prime rib on the day we ate here, which was disappointing. I cannot remember what cut of meat it was, but it was not QUITE up to par due to the meat not being as tender as I would have liked. Nice selection of sides, a few salads, and five or so different types of cheeses. The pancakes had fresh berries in them, the crepes looked promising, bacon was the good stuff and not overcooked, breakfast potatoes so so. Cheesecake incredibly creamy and although I was full from eating for 1.5 hours straight, I still managed to take down 3/4 of a piece."

"My husband and I had brunch at the Garden Cafe to celebrate our anniversary. We went last year the day after our wedding and decided it should be a tradition. Everything was just as wonderful as we'd remembered, including the servers/service! We had the same server this year as last year! The variety and quality of foods offered (juice bar, seafood station, traditional breakfast, meats/carving station, desserts, crepes, kids' table) is second to none in Salt Lake City. At $45/per person, it's definitely expensive, but for special occasions, it's a real treat!"

"A small treat inside the Grand hotel. I have eaten here many times for brunch and three times for dinner. The wine list could be better for what the restaurant is trying to be. The food was good, though I found the beef portions small. Pastries here are fantastic. The service needs a small increase, but I think that it is a Utah thing...they just don't get proper "fine dining". Overall a recommendation is positive and if you are at the hotel, go one night or definitely for brunch. Just venture out to a few other places around town."

"We stayed at The LIttle America Hotel on when we went to order our breakfast we were disappointed to see that the Little America DID NOT offer egges benedict on their menu. We then got online and saw that you guys did so we enjoyed breakfast at your cafe instead. THe Eggs benedict was wonderful and I would come back just to eat that again and again. My only complaint, which has NOTHING to do with the actual hotel was that there was a table next to us that had about 8 women at it and they were so loud that we had a hard time talking to each other because of it."

"My wife and I had a great experience at the Garden Cafe. We felt like we were the only ones in the whole restaurant, the service was so great. The food was the best we've had in a long time, and I felt like we were treated as special guests. I would recommend the Garden Cafe to anyone especially because the food was reasonably priced for the kind of experience you get."

"Open Table makes it easy to make a reservation. Thank you! We ate at the Garden Cafe last year on Valentine's Day and had a wonderful experience. We went back to have another special night for Valentine's. Unfortunately this year, the service was poor and the food was a big disappointment. The fixed menu for Valentine's should have been special, but there was nothing special about the dinner. Everyone in our party agreed that we would not be going back to the Garden again."
