Went here for date night, Food amazing, Atmosphere amazing, Service wonderful. Then headed to the upstairs for more of lounge feel. Hookah that is ans I didn't bring any cigars so we didn't stay on the rooftop long. Definitely will recommend checking out The Garden Rooftop. read more

#RestaurantWeek Stop #5 did not disappoint! We had our annual girls dinner here and really loved the chic decor and half booth half table seating. Our server was really nice and managed our party of 4 well. The crispy shrimp and the devil eggs apps were a standout. I really enjoyed the whole Branzino and Mac & cheese as a side. After dinner wrapped, we went upstairs for a few cocktails and dance vibes. Very nice restaurant and rooftop and quite a hidden gem for the neighborhood! We'll be back and thank you! read more

My friend and I were looking for a boozy brunch, and this spot was recommended. It was a 9 out of 10. I highly recommend it! My food was delicious. I had mimosas (hard to mess that up), but I will say the fruit juice they gave you to add to the champagne is a little too thick. The vibes were nice, R&B with a violinist. I'll definitely visit again. I do wish it was in a better neighborhood. Our server was very attentive. read more

This spot has been on my list for the last 3 or 4 years. I finally decided to go when I saw it was right next door the auto shop I took my car to recently. The staff here was very nice. I had a several questions for 3 different staff members I encountered and they were all happy to answer my questions and had good energy. The burger I got was unique and very much a craft burger. They have a lot of dry-aged meats here (including their burger), and I thought it was good and still a little juicy. The fries were average fries. I also got an orange crush that was also good, a cider, and sampled their slushies. They have a strawberry bourbon slushie I really liked. I would have ordered it but it was strong and I had already gotten the crush, so I'll just have to come back for it. The other slushie was a coffee one and I'm not a huge coffee person, but if you like coffee, you'd probably like that. Children are allowed here until 7 pm I believe. Unfortunately, they do not do tours (anymore). I'd like to see them bring this back because I'm always interested in the process and also hearing about how things are produced. You order food on one side (and can also order cocktails on that side too) but the beers and others are ordered on the brewery side. You're able to open a tab on either side though and it will be connect, so you don't have to do multiple transactions. Cool interior as well. read more

I always enjoy my time at the Garden. We need more spaces like this is in Baltimore. Thursday is my favorite day to go because the happy hour runs from 5-7 downstairs and 5-8 upstairs (live band upstairs). I love that there are so many different vibes within the one space. If you want something more quiet, downstairs is the way to go. If you want a bit more noise and energy, then upstairs is the way to go. Hookah is only available upstairs. Dani and Tiffanie always provide great service! Drinks are always on crafted beautifully. I have yet to be disappointed in any of the food I've tried. read more

First time actually eating downstairs at The Garden. We were a party of appx 11. Our waitress was Lonnie and she was great. I ordered the Garden Pasta which reminded me of Rasta pasta. It was cool, just needed a little more seasoning and less peppers & onions. Shrimp delivered eggs were 10/10. read more

Garden Rooftop - Lamb chops and asparagus - New American Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Looking for great ambience, food, vibes and customer service then you need to check this place out. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a smile and a complimentary glass of champagne as it was Valentine's Day. For starters, my best friend ordered the fried catfish bites 10 out of 10! Perfectly seasoned and fried to a nice golden brown. To drink, I chose the Garden Drop, which is their take on the lemon drop. They offer a variety of flavors and my hostess recommended the peach. Yum...it was really good and if I had time, I would have gotten another, highly recommend. For my entrée I had to go with the grilled lamb chops and man they didn't miss. They had a nice char, seasoned and cooked as requested - medium well (light pink for me). For my sides I had to try their mac and cheese and sauteed spinach. Both sides didn't miss the spinach was not overly cooked, I could taste garlic and it just melted in my mouth. Now for dessert.....they had a banana bread pudding and baaaaabbbbeeeeee I think I would've slapped my mama for another slice of this. I was mad at myself for not getting one to take back to Va with me. Ambience - 5 Food - 5 Customer Service - Greeter, Hostess (Aloni) Manager - all 5's Drinks - 5 Vibes - 5 I would definitely come back if I am ever in Baltimore again!! read more

We had such a phenomenal time the first time there, yet when we went for a birthday the vibe was a little different. We did go on a Friday night, which was awesome. Be sure that you go early so that if you need to find parking you can do that. They do have a valley service right directly next to the restaurant but you gotta pull in and use your cash app or Venmo in order to pay for parking which is $10. We made reservations for three thinking that we would get the main dining room on the first floor, but we did not. We were seated in the bar area dining section. That's not bad if you want to be separated from what's taking place yet it's tight. It's bar top tables and of course you're battling with the waitresses, surveying both the bar and the bar dining area. The food came out quickly. Because this was a birthday celebration they did bring out birthday dessert for the table to share which was really great. We got the chicken wings for appetizers and two of us got the salmon dish and the other got the lamb dish. All dishes are at least $25 up. Our waitress was wonderful and the food was pretty good although the portions were way smaller than before. The thing that got us this time around was they required dress code and we saw plenty of people who were not abiding by the dress code. We will definitely give it another try. We didn't see any dancers this time yet. It's a great place to go for the rooftop, especially in the summertime. read more

Great food good service and amazing atmosphere! Parking wasn't bad as there is street and lot parking close by. They offer lot parking but it's $20 and parking nearby is wayyyy cheaper. The lower level has a full bar with a lovely range of quality drink options not just rale or mid shelf. They have an extended dining room past the hostess stand which was cute. The food items were very tasty and well presented. Cheeseburger sliders Veggie spring rolls Lamp chops Jerk salmon and asparagus Catfish bites All were delicious and would definitely order any of them again Upstairs had 2 DJs a full bar and a gentleman playing Congo drums if I'm not mistaken. Definitely good vibes. The had burlesque like dancers come out on several occasions to perform. The space has an open roof concept which allows for pretty good ventilation. The restrooms were clean and nice. Hookah is available for purchase. I'd definitely recommend going here for any occasion you want to have a good time and enjoy yourself while eating good.. read more

I have been meaning to check this place out for a while but hadn't gotten around to it. This morning, my friend recommended we go for brunch. Unfortunately, due to the St. Patrick's Day parade, we were stuck in traffic for 2 hours! Luckily, when we arrived, we had no problems being seated quickly. Firstly, this venue is stunning... beautiful velvet furniture, beautiful wall art, beautiful people, and very keen attention to every detail! The only recommendation I would make here is to have regular lighting to spotlight the ambiance, rather than nightclub lighting. Service: I almost didn't go here bc the lady who answered the phone was a bit rude and rushed us. She wasn't sounded frustrated and responded to us with what and other informal communication that isn't indicative of good customer service; however, my friend was adamant that we come as to not let one person's attitude ruin the whole of the experience. Glad I listened. Everyone else's customer service was exceptional! Our waitress, Rayna, was so attentive, kind, helpful, and I loved her energy! The food was an 8 of 10. The catfish was fresh but the batter lacked in flavor. My friend got the chicken and waffles, only 4 drumettes rather than like a fried breast or two friend, boneless skinless thighs, delicately placed atop the waffles. The portion size and presentation didn't match the magnificence of the venue. I imagine he wasn't full when we left. I've heard many great things about this place for entertainment, so I'll have to return and check that out too! read more

Omg, I loved it here. Downstairs is the beautiful restaurant, and upstairs is the enclosed rooftop. The food was so good. I got the branzino and Mac n cheese on the side. The Mac and cheese was one of the best I've ever had. The branzino was solid too. I got a blueberry gin drink, but I can't remember the name. I'm not a blueberry person, so I didn't care for it. We went to the rooftop after dinner for a few more drinks and they had a DJ. It was such a fun night. I'd definitely come back. read more

A Phenomenal Experience at The Garden Rooftop My recent visit to The Garden Rooftop was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we sat down at Table near the bar area, the evening felt special. The food alone deserves its own standing ovation, everything from the Crab Deviled Eggs and Mac & Cheese to the perfectly cooked Rib Eye Steak and Mash Potatoes was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. You could taste the care in every bite. We also tried the Citrus Jerk Shrimp and the Watermelon for Me cocktail, both creative, balanced, and full of bright flavor. The restaurant has an atmosphere that makes you want to linger a little longer just to soak it all in. But what truly elevated the night was our server, Bri S. She mentioned it was only her second day on the job, yet you would never have known. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made us feel completely taken care of. She managed our table with confidence and charm, and her timing was flawless. It's rare to see someone so new handle service with such poise, she's a star in the making. Between the outstanding food, the smooth drinks, and Bri's top-tier service, The Garden Rooftop has easily become one of my favorite dining experiences in the area. We'll definitely be back soon. Total experience: 10/10 Food: Outstanding Service: Above and beyond (especially for day 2!) Ambiance: Elegant, lively, and comfortable The music was on point. read more

I love this place. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious. I had the jerk salmon which was really good.

This place was a whole Thursday night vibe. The DJ was FIRE and the drinks are so, so good. Came here for a very impromptu date with someone who pronounces "you" like "yewwww" (no comment). We had no reservations and stood at the bar the entire night. In some places, that might lend itself to a trash experience, but honestly, the drinks and the music and the ambiance were so good here that I enjoyed myself. Drinks are in the $15-20 range, but they're STRONG. We didn't order food, but the food looked BOMB. It was a Thursday night and we were upstairs. There was hookah, food, drinks, and just a vibe. Folks were dressed in everything from very casual to club gear. I was here for it. If there's no way to make reservations, I'd def try to get there earlier to snag a chair at the bar or a table, as everything was BOOKED. I'd def return... but not with that person. read more

TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE!!!!!! A lot of black owned businesses make it hard for their own to support them mostly due to greed and inflated prices. They have Zero parking, so if it's raining you may have to walk blocks to reach this place without an umbrella OR take the risk of unofficially checking it and if you forget it, it's on you. A lot of black owned businesses make it hard for their own to support them mostly due to greed and inflated prices. (Back Story) Upon arriving for my reservation, I approached the door and security told me that I could bring my umbrella in (HUH), but he will hold it for me. Stay for a couple of hours the food and service were just ok and overly priced (especially for an establishment that does not allow umbrellas) Once home I realized that I had forgotten to get my umbrella ( maybe because when I left it was not raining and also I had a couple drinks) I called the restaurant to advise and the lady that answered the phone said she would take my number and call me back which she did the next day to state that no one located it (that was the end of it for her) I said could you have the manager to call me so we can resolve the matter, she agreed. 2 weeks when by and no one called, I called back and spoke to a gentleman with an African/Caribbean accent who was extremely rude, would not give me his name and blamed me because I forgot the umbrella (Zero accountability) I again asked to have a manager to call me, after 1 week I still did not receive a call. I went on their website and sent an email for which I received a response. I explained to the manager that I'm not looking for any monetary reimbursement just a replacement umbrella, she told me that there wasn't anything that they could do because security was doing me a favor (really?) If I would have taken my umbrella in with me, I wouldn't have forgotten it furthermore, if someone take possession of someone's belongings, they are responsible for that item until its returned/picked up in a reasonable time. I'm pretty upset that after being overcharge for mediocre food/drinks that I now have to foot the bill for a new umbrella that THEY mishandled. I would have taken a used or even one from dollar tree. They made no attempt to correct this situation whatsoever. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I get better service at white owned establishments. read more

Went for a birthday party- had reservations and bottle service. Dinner : My waitress, Shay, gave 5 star service. Very attentive and informative. Her timing was impeccable. My meal was okay. I was hungry -I had the jerk salmon... with rice and peas- it was good but the meal didn't feel complete. This menu item needs something... some type of upgrade to set it off Rooftop- ambiance was nice. Wasn't an "open top" roof top... when I was there. The DJ- needs to curate his playlist better- the music didn't have a consistent vibe for me... it was all over the place. Sitting and smoking hookah was what it was "giving" dancing wasn't the goal. Overall- we had a good time- we brought the fun we needed. read more

Food is great had the lamb chop appetizer which is perfect, four come as the serving. Nice and tasty cooked to perfection with a glaze a top. Have had two drinks as I'm writing this post- if you like dark liqueurs, try the Purple Reign, Morning Glory and the Sicilian Bliss- nice and refreshing. The citrusy taste is it! Service is great- had a great bartender who was very available at all times and made sure everyone was taken care of. All of the bartenders are very attentive, no one has to wait for anything. Ambiance is perfect- great vibes, great music and just an all around wonderful atmosphere. Went upstairs for a quick minute, thinking I would hookah but was a bit too warm, maybe in the fall. All and all it's a great spot oh, and the restrooms fully stocked and clean! Love it all! Come enjoy yourselves! read more

I am happy to report that whatever bugs they needed to work out upon first opening (they've been open less than a year!) have been fully worked out. We are not casual diners, dine out frequently at note-worthy establishments, and are not easy to impress. However, my choosy party of 4 had an amazing experience here for brunch, that made us eager to make the journey back up 95 ( we're DC folk) for dinner. We were one of the first tables to be seated but the staff was bright eyed, bushy tailed, and ready to go from the hostess to the bartender (who only served us water, but was pleasant and congenial nonetheless), to our FLAWLESS server, Alaysia (yes, FLAWLESS) who made our experience absolutely top tier. Alaysia knows the menu like she wrote it herself, made thoughtful recommendations, and sought insight and clarity when she was unsure of answers to a question. For the entire meal, she was attentive without being overbearing, anticipatory of our needs, and kept our water glasses filled (IYKYK). The kitchen was amenable to all of our substitution requests (they were nothing crazy, but y'all know how places can be) and all of our food came out piping hot. Speaking of food...delicious! We ordered the lamb hash (one w/ egg and one with egg on the side), a plain waffle, the bronzino, and a lobster Mac and cheese for the table. Every plate looked like a murder scene when we were done. The lamb hash comes with a lamb shank that's so well prepared the meat slipped right off the bone into the perfectly prepared potatoes and peppers that complete the hash. My friends would have liked more salt in the Mac and cheese, but I thought it was wonderful as I prefer most of my flavor to come from the cheese. Nevertheless, the entire table enjoyed it! The waffle was fluffy and fantastic! I also appreciated being able to order the waffle a la carte so again the entire table was able to taste and enjoy it. My friend and I both enjoyed one cocktail a piece and they were again amenable to making a substitution that my friend and I have grown to enjoy. The cocktail was well made and I would confidently return just for cocktails as the bar staff was friendly and knowledgeable. By now, you're probably thinking I must be a friend of the house. NOPE! Just someone who thinks it's important to praise as loudly as we tend to complain. Go check them out! read more

This restaurant opened about 2 months ago. I was in a party of 5. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and wait staff was friendly End it was very good at making recommendations. Everyone enjoyed their drinks. The food left a lot to be desired. I had blackened rainbow trout with rice and peas and candied carrots as my sides. The rice and peas were slightly under salted and the candied carrots were sweet and savory. One person in my party had a lobster hamburger and it was OK. Another person had blackened salmon and didn't care for it because the seasonings were too heavy and it was slightly overcooked. Another person had a Caesar salad with salmon and it was fine. After we ate we went upstairs to the lounge to check it out and it was cool if you're looking for a hookah/cigar bar. It also has a retractable roof top which I'm sure is nice in the warm months but given that it is now late October it wasn't open. Also this place is very popular for birthday celebrations, while we were there there were three different tables celebrating birthdays! read more

We didn't know what to expect when going to Garden Rooftop but what a hidden sexy gem in the heart of Mt. Vernon! Upon walking in we were greeted by the hostess who showed us to our table. We were seated at a table by the bar. I couldn't believe we were in Baltimore! Definitely feel like a restaurant in Miami or NYC! Just a gorgeous restaurant! Jennifer was our waitress and she was so nice and helpful all evening. We chose the citrus jerk wings for our appetizer. Jennifer suggested we get them fried instead of grilled. Such a great suggestion! We truly enjoyed them. I had the Bronzino and my friend had the special which was salmon stuffed with crab and shrimp. We both selected the Gouda mashed potatoes for our side. Wow! Both dishes were truly amazing! They were so filling we both ended up with leftovers. I was hoping for an equally delicious dessert but we were told they only had cheesecake so we skipped it. We decided to explore the upstairs and it is massive! There is a hookah and cigar lounge upstairs as well an another bar. The Dj had the Afro beats spinning and it was such a vibe! A time was had! Such NYC flavor in Baltimore!
