Calamari and deviled eggs
Karis L.

Food quantity: 8/10 Food quality: 6/10 Service: 9/10 Ambiance: 9/10 Overall rating: 8/10 Liked the vibe, but would not recommend the food.

Caesar salad with chicken
Christine F.

The Wave Hotel always has the amazing restaurants with delicious flavors and beautiful decor, and Garni is no exception! Although the prices are high, the food was fresh and delicious, so I think it was worth it. I started with a rose spritz and enjoyed the views of the "rooftop" pool while I sipped. For lunch, I grabbed the Caesar salad topped with blackened chicken. My friend grabbed the shrimp po boy, which was massive and absolutely delicious. I'll be back!

Tried Garni Cafe during magical dining month. We were very impressed with the portion size for the magical dining menu, they were real portions instead of smaller which was a positive! Brianna was our waitress and she was so attentive and helped us make the right choice in drinks and food! A beautiful restaurant surrounded by lots of beautiful greenery. It was the perfect date night location!

TRUFFLE FRIES

Beautiful atmosphere for Sunday brunch with live saxophone music. The menu offers a variety of dishes; all selections we tried were good. We especially enjoyed the chips & queso. Service was attentive and respectful although I believe our table was initially forgotten about but once our server found us all was good. Just speak up about any issues you have and it will be addressed promptly.

Taste: 4/5 Value: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Went here for brunch and loved the atmosphere, it really stood out and made the experience so much better. The café is on the second floor, and even walking up the stairs feels like part of the experience, it's super pretty. The actual restaurant space has a modern, stylish vibe, and it wasn't too busy, so it felt relaxed and we didn't feel rushed. Prices were fair, and the food was tasty with nice presentation. Overall, it's a great spot for a laid-back brunch, perfect for catching up with friends.

Chicken and waffles
Kaylee C.

Came here for brunch with a friend one Saturday and it did not disappoint. Brunch was reasonably priced and the vibes were immaculate. I got the chicken and waffles and was honestly surprised at how good they were. The restaurant wasn't very busy at the time so I was a bit skeptical. There is a super cute outdoor area downstairs with art to take pictures and other restaurants in the hotel. My biggest complaint was the price of drinks were pretty crazy. $22 for some cocktails and $14 ish for a mocktail. Food was definitely priced better than the drinks.

The lemon pancakes!!
Jon A.

Delicious breakfast while staying here. Whitney was a great waitress also. The lemon pancakes were very tasty and everything was very fair priced. Not too loud, strong coffee, and great food. My type of breakfast place.

French toast
Anna P.

The French toast for brunch is absolutely amazing! Truly some of the best French toast I've ever had. It was served with dulce de leche and was perfect I did not need the extra maple syrup. Other key highlights were the chicken and waffle and the flat bread. The avocado toast was also great but it was def really pretty to look at.

Tried this place for the first time a week or so ago for brunch with some girlfriends. The place is located at the Wave hotel and from the time you step in the vibes are great. The cafe is located on the second floor and coming up the stairs is so pretty! Wooden floor stairs and what it looks like a cherry tree. Needless to say when we walked in the place is cozy and inviting. All super simple but cozy. Service was great! We were able to enjoy our time. The food was amazing! I had the steak and eggs and it was properly done. Steak was juicy and not salty. Well balanced. I loved that our server was able to recommend plates that I could it eat. Everyone was happy with the meals. I am definitely coming back!

I celebrated my birthday brunch at Garni Cafe located inside The Wave Hotel in Lake Nona, and what a great choice it was. From start to finish, the experience felt elevated and celebratory. We were attended by Rodrigo, who was absolutely pleasant, attentive, and full of great recommendations. His suggestion of the Croque Madame did not disappoint. It was soft, savory, and had just the right touch of sweetness. We also ordered the Garni Breakfast Sandwich and French toast to share. The breakfast sandwich is a classic at its core, but the bacon tomato marmalade sets it apart from your traditional breakfast sandwich. And the Dulce de Leche French Toast? Simply YUM. Rich, indulgent, and impossible to say no to along with bacon on the side. To top it all off, I was surprised with a glass of champagne to celebrate my birthday, which made the experience feel extra special and thoughtful. The interior of Garni Cafe is beautiful and modern, with views overlooking the hotel's garden and located right next to the pool, creating a relaxed ,upscale atmosphere. As one of the on-site restaurants at The Wave Hotel, it's a fantastic option whether you're visiting for brunch, lunch, or dinner. I couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate my birthday highly recommend.

Overall Rating: 8/10 The ambiance here is amazing, the staff is also amazing as well. Very attentive and nice. Food is good. - Vodka pasta was a 8/10, pasta and sauce was good but chicken was lacking seasoning. - Humus was a 6/10, it was not that flavorful and a bit lumpy, the pepper on the inside saved the dish. - Truffle fries were a 8/10, they were very good. - Flat Bread was a 7/10, I liked everything but felt like the bread could have been a tad bit for baked, it was maybe a little bit undercooked. - Gnocchi was a 8/10 it was flavorful but very very cheesy! Overall a good place for a nice dinner with very beautiful ambience and amazing staff but i believe the food can use more elevation.

The food here is fantastic. We've been here for both lunch and dinner, and have been equally impressed by the quality and service. Whether you come early or in the evening, the vibe is always comfortable. It's a combination of folks dressed nicely, and others dressed more casually, but it works! The vegetarian options are great, and my husband equally enjoyed his steak. Great lunch, brunch, or date night option!

This is my first visit to Garney mid morning for a work session. I was able to be seated at the bar with my laptop. The day I went there there was no music which was perfect because I had to take a meeting anyway so it's a great spot where you can not only find lounge seated areas to have privacy, but you can also enjoy an amazing breakfast because I came in the late morning. I was able to enjoy lunch. I tried their chicken meatballs, which was phenomenal. The seasoning was perfect and it also came with a piece of bread to dip all of the sauce. I also had a latte which was very strong, but I'm not complaining. The staff was super nice and I loved how the bartenders were able to hold a conversation. It is also just beautiful to look at there's plenty of lighting in the restaurant itself.

The venue is the same as what Haven used to be decor wise. Average, no special creations, and pricy dishes.

After church our friends suggested we stop in for brunch here today and I'm so glad they did!…read more My husband had the strawberry shortcake french toast. I don't normally take pictures of food, but I was moved to! It was a work of art. He didn't even let me try a bite! I might have lost a finger! I was craving a blt, so I had the grilled chicken sandwich. The guacamole is sooo good! The sandwich was huge. I brought home 1/2 for dinner. We'll definitely add this spot to the rotation!

I was in Orlando on business and had Vanessa's on my list to try. I stopped in for much-needed…read morecoffee and left very impressed. I ordered a cappuccino, orange juice, and a bagel sandwich with egg, sausage, and Swiss cheese. Everything was excellent. The cappuccino was bold and flavorful -- it really woke me up. The bagel was soft and fresh, and the sandwich was warm, tasty, and satisfying. The OJ was a nice touch for extra energy. The owner, Jessica, is from Puerto Rico (Boricua like me!), which made the visit even more special. You order and pay at the counter, then enjoy the beautiful dining area. It's welcoming with comfortable seating and a sophisticated white-on-black décor featuring inspiring messages about life and God's providence. It's a lovely spot with great food and a warm atmosphere. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Orlando
