    The experience was great overall. The ambience was amazing, definitely a spot with a great vibe. Jose, the bartender, was fantastic, super friendly and attentive. I’m doing a dry January, so I didn’t drink, but I had a mocktail, and it was pretty good. My date had a drink, and she enjoyed hers too. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to eat because we arrived around 3 PM, and they only serve light appetizers between 3-6 PM, so we ended up going elsewhere for dinner. Looking forward to coming back at a better time to try the food because the place definitely left a good impression!

    Nice atmosphere! Wish there were some vegan options suitable for my diet lifestyle, but the ambiance was great and welcoming.

    The food was well prepared and followed French cuisine techniques. The service needs much more improvement. I feel for the amount of money and cost, the service should be exceptional and tailored to clientels needs. Never once had my glass refilled with water, had to call for my server numerous times to be served.

    Lovely dinner! Our server Whitney was the picture of warm hospitality. Gorgeous restaurant, perfect table—the host definitely took my seating requests in mind. Delicious mussels, steak frites, steak tartare. Only constructive critique is that the popovers looked and tasted overcooked on the outside, wouldn’t order them again. Overall, perfect date night!

    New menu is a hit! We loved the mussels and the deviled eggs for brunch. Beautiful venue and great service! Will return for a dinner option.

    Today, Garni earned the 5 stars. From the amazing food to the location, the service and the ambient. When you are making a birthday or any occasion you technically don’t know how much people will arrive. But Garni made my life easier in that matter. The presentation and the combination of flavors is spectacular. It’s a great place to have cool pictures and good drinks, thanks to the mixology. Good prices and good attention. I think they should at a complimentary dessert for birthdays but that’s just my opinion.

    Absolutely wonderful experience in the newly redesigned Garni Cafe. Food was outstanding and our service with Kialani was amazing. We will definitely be back. Try the beef tartare (served tableside) and their spin on a boeuf bourguignon. Really delicious!

    Our server Whitney was amazing. She explained the menu and brought us our drinks right away. We ordered bread and it came out right away but it was completely burnt. We ordered the beef and seafood platter. And after an hour we started asking what’s going on. Nobody could give us an answer and about 4 people we asked all kept going to the back and never coming back. We finally asked the hostess to get the manager and he finally came out and said they were making the seafood platter from Scratch. We have gotten seafood platters all over the US and they are raw fish and shrimp and crab…nothing needs to be made from scratch. It finally came out and everything was covered in oil and looked awful. We did not feel comfortable eating it. The chef the. Came out and was very nice stating they have only ever sold 2 and didn’t have most of the ingredients. He basically admitted he wouldn’t eat it either. They were nice and took the food back and didn’t charge us. However it had then been an hour and a half and we still hadn’t ate and had to go to another restaurant. We drove an hour to go there and it was quite disappointing.

    I was surprised by the new menu. I sampled the gnocchi, shrimp, burger eggs benedict, cro madame, and brino, and all were excellent. The restaurant is beautiful, and after the meal, a walk around the hotel's sculpture garden is a must.
