Went to The Garden for brunch with some friends, and honestly, I was pretty disappointed. The location itself is beautiful, with lots of photo opportunities and a great aesthetic. The drinks were okay but overpriced. I ordered the I'm Coming Out, and the mango purée paired well with the tequila, so I'll give credit where it's due. Unfortunately, the food was a major letdown. The chicken empanadas were not good at all. The chicken skewers tasted like they were seasoned the same way as a steak, which just didn't work flavor-wise. The steak skewers were good, but the churrasco was way too salty, and the black rice had no flavor whatsoever. Overall, I was highly disappointed with the food. I considered coming back just for drinks and the vibe, but even that feels questionable since there are plenty of other places that are cheaper and offer a better overall experience. I went with the brunch menu, and with just one drink, my total came out to $85, which felt excessive for the quality. To make matters worse, the server lost one of the credit cards we used to pay the tab. We were told only two cards were given when there were actually three, and we had to search for it ourselves. That was extremely annoying and unacceptable. I've been here a few years ago, pre-COVID, and the service was much better back then. Unfortunately, it feels like both the service and the food have declined, especially for the price point. Because of that, I would not return and would rather spend my money at places where I know I'll have a great time overall read more

I've tried to give this place a chance so many times. After the racist scandal they had a few years ago, they've really been trying to change the tone. I go Thursday night for " r&b night ". They charge $5 at the door bc there was a performance by " Kevin ", whoever that is. We're seated and the waitresses that came over were speaking Spanish & only speaking to me even though I was clearly with my friend who is black and does not speak Spanish. Not to mention playing bachata on r&b night. They are never beating the racist allegations. $35 for a churrasco? $75 total for one drink and this one plate. read more

The Garden - Churrasco $35 - Wine Bars Near Me - Elizabeth, New Jersey

I found this place on Facebook and I wanted to give it a try so my boyfriend and I came on a Sunday afternoon with reservations and we were seated promptly. This place is a whole vibe. My only thing that I can say that's negative about this place was that they give you your mimosas with a lot of ice however, the waitress was nice enough to have them make a pitcher without ice for us. I had vegetarian tacos, which were amazing and some Yuka fries and avocado toast. My boyfriend had the bacon rice which he said was really good and chicken tacos, which he also said was good. The music was good. They played a little bit of everything so we will be going back with friends and family. Oh before I forget the waitress was great and although she was pregnant she kept up with everyone and every thing. I wish I knew her name. read more

We've celebrated a few of our friends events here (birthdays, engagement, promotions) and always have a great time! We enjoy the vibe, the DJ, Ralphie Mercado, is always on point! He plays throw backs as well as more modern music, perfect mix! The food is always delicious as well, we are never disappointed! Good selection and at a decent price. The drinks are done well, portions are fair for the price and the amount of liquor they add to the drinks. When doing reservations with a big group they have options for brunch package selections with the options of adding unlimited mimosas / Bellinis; great addition if it is what your party is looking to drink! Just know that they require that you choose the option for all or not included at all. Definitely recommend! Whether for a dinner with a partner or an event with a bigger group! If you're looking for a good time, give this place a try! read more

I wanted to try this place since an Influencer endorsed it. I chose Mothers Day which seemed like a good choice. My little son took me to have dinner. So cute. This restaurant is nestled in Elizabeth NJ so parking is a bit tough. However the food was pretty good and the decor I really loved. The music was a bit loud in the main dining area but they moved us further away. We really enjoyed the food and the drinks were yummy. For me of course! read more

The vibe of this place is cute. They sat us down at a table and the dish in front of me was dirty and had hair on the plate. I pointed it out to the server and he grabbed it immediately then came back with a plate that had black spots on it. I didn't use the plate obviously but twice in a row? The place was pretty empty we got there at about 8 and there was a DJ. They sat us directly in front of the DJ so we couldn't hear each other. The person I was with had pasta and it was flavorful it was good. I had the steak dish it wasn't that good. Not enough flavor but the plantains were made perfectly. The rice was a little mushy and the drinks were weak. The person I was with enjoyed the hookah but I believe he had to pay cash and ended up zelling the guy. It was an ok experience. read more

I actually really enjoyed this place. I wasn't expecting to have this much fun for a Saturday brunch. The place was t too packed which allowed you to enjoy and not have people on top of one another. The decor was dope but the best thing there was the huge television. My only complaint would be to please make sure that you're serving hot food. My food was warm and even though it was good, it could have been better served hot. read more

Went here for Sunday brunch and the experience was lackluster. The presentation of the food is nice but it was cold and lacked flavor. The unlimited mimosas/Bellini's were a hit or miss - each refill tasted different, not sure the didn't stick to one recipe. Our server disappeared once we received our food and only showed back up when we were ready to leave hrs later. We got hookah and it barely pulled and when I checked they only put one and a half pieces of coal. I've never seen that before. So you guys are cutting coal in half? Ehh The ambiance is cool. What saved them was the DJ. It was mostly Spanish music but the little hip hop/r&b he did play was good. Overall I wouldn't come back. read more

Experienced their brunch and regular dining! Positive experiences each time! Brunch: Came as a party of 9 and were seated together in the main room. Our food was brought out family style and delicious! The portions were sufficient for everyone's liking. The mimosas were great. The entertainment was awesome!! Dining: Came after having brunch elsewhere. Our party of 7 was seated immediately towards the back right of the restaurant. The margaritas were great! Try their fresh guac and chips. Servers were attentive all around. Good music. Hookahs available. Pricing is reasonable. Overall, worth a visit! read more

Took my best friend here for his birthday and we had a blast! I had an old-fashioned and he had to lychee martini, he wanted to drinks on the menu but they ran out of ingredients which was a little disappointing but it was OK. I we've heard the plates here are really big so we ended up getting three appetizers and sharing them the elote was amazing and so was the chicken and beef satay. Calamari was a little too overdone but still good. We had the garden which was really cool and have a little flowers in the water at the bottom, and it was surprisingly lively for Wednesday there was a DJ playing all the hits we had a really fun time and will be back for dinner again! read more

Dined here for brunch on Saturday with my sister. I would HIGHLY recommend looking at their reservation policies on the site before visiting. If it's just a party of two, it's first come first serve so we arrived just as they were opening for brunch so it was pretty empty. The first think you notice is the decor and wall art, which is very cool! We were seated immediately but waited some time to be served. I ordered the fried chicken burger and my sister ordered an omelet. The chicken sandwich was extremely dry but loved the fries. My sister said that her omelet was very greasy and unappetizing. I think this is the sort of place you come for the music and vibes and not necessarily the food because it seems mediocre. My opinion is solely based on the brunch menu and not dinner so maybe it's a different story during the evening. read more

Vibes, drinks, food, music & hookah! The Garden is the perfect spot to step out to with your friends. My friend took me here for my bday on a Wednesday evening. We walked in & were immediately seated. It wasn't packed yet BUT within an hour there was a line outside of ppl waiting to get in. They also have a DJ keeping the vibe upbeat, playing old school & new school hip hop, r&b, reggae & Spanish music. It's very loud in here making it semi hard to communicate with the wait staff. I started off with a Frozé. I was shocked at how strong it was.... I really was expecting a fruity cute drink. This Frozé will take you OUT! Lol.... For apps we shared fried calamari & shrimp ceviche. The ceviche is served with popcorn.... Ummm yea ok. The popcorn was stale, calamari crispy and full of flavor, shrimp ceviche tangy & fresh! For my entree I had the NY Strip, (cooked medium as requested) great flavor and a huge portion. Our waitress checked in once or twice, service was slow but not horrible. If you're looking for vibes & hookah this is your place. read more

It makes me so sad to update my previous review on this establishment. But I am sitting in the Garden for now three hours. I have NEVER experienced such horrible customer service in my life. The owner is rude. The manager is rude. The servers are rude. The hostess is HORRIBLE. NEVER WILL I EVER STEP FOOT IN THIS PLACE AGAIN. I can't tell you about the food because it's been 3 hours and I haven't gotten any food yet. Pass up on the hookah because it's $35 and lasts about 10 minutes. We asked about our food and our waiter, Steven, answered "I don't know. I just work here. " How is this an appropriate answer?!?!?! I wish I could give it 0 stars because that's what it truly deserves. Needless to say, NEVER AGAIN. read more

I came to this establishment for their Saturday brunch. Upon entering I was impressed with the festive decor. Natalia was our waitress and was extremely attentive, professional, and thorough. It is a lively brunch with a DJ included and a variety of meal options. They'll bring out hookahs and Bellinis before the food though. Empanadas-flavorful and flaky Ceviche- sauce was sweet yet savory Garlic shrimp- great consistency and tasty Steak-perfectly cooked Final conclusion: Good vibes, food, and service. read more

Thank God this place was around and open. I enjoyed my visit here. The food was great along with the music from the live Dj they had. Where my entourage sat we had good space and not on top of each other which was great. They offered hookah and had independent people who came around and either took pics that was framed and if you liked it you could purchase or a lady selling roses that you can give to your special someone. Staff was friendly and quick. They hookah service was a plus as well. You got it all here. Street parking was available and cards was accepted. Would definitely come here again. read more

The ambiance is nice it's a cute little spot but we arrived at 130pm and it took at least an hour to order food/drink. Service is very slow. The food tasted ok but it took forever by 3pm we only were able to order one drink. Literally waited 3.5 hours for food dont recommend. It would be different if the server would at least come and check to see if we needed drinks but I think In a total Of 4 hours he only offered to take our drink order twice. We were a party of 10. People were coming in 2 hours after us and still getting their food before us. After waiting 2.5 hours for our food I asked a manager and they said they would check and another hour went by before it came. (Writing this as I'm still waiting for my food) read more

Ok if you want vibes go. If your a foodie skip this place. Came here Sunday with my bestie before heading back home. Order bottomless Bellini. Taste like just peach juice. Sent back. Just said bring me Prosecco. I had three. My bestie sent her drink back and got mimosa. Ask for ice on the side. If not it will come watered down. I ordered the chicken and waffles. Hated it. Chicken had no flavor. Waffle was not bad. Dessert they loved it: Hubs love his omelet. It came with a salad and home fries. But ok let's get into this Dj. He was a 10/10 and I will come back just to hear the music. He was playing all my fab songs. Beyoncé of course. But he went in. Song after song. Please keep this dj in rotation.It was a vibe. read more

It was a party or two that came here on a Friday night. I called in for a reservation but was informed that because it was only two people they were not taking the reservations for that amount. Good thing when we walked in we were able to be seated right away. Even though it wasn't in the garden area and it was towards the back of the restaurant. One thing to note there is metered parking across the street in a lot. All staff were masked and the tables were spaced out enough due to covid-19 restrictions. Ordered empanadas and tacos. the spicy sauce that came in the empanadas were absolutely delicious as were the crust on the empanadas. I would highly recommend trying them. The tacos were small for the price and they were okay. However I did order a savage margarita and I was absolutely delicious so I ordered another one.. . It took us a couple of time to try to get the attention of our waiter but for the most part the waist staff was very attentive. Very nice ambiance overall. DJ was playing very lively music up until a certain time. I would definitely try it again would be seated in the garden area. read more

Came during Covid, entrance they check temperature and have hand sanitizer available in the front before you enter. We had reservations at 6pm, we tried to change it to 7pm but they said they were booked. We were a party of 7 people and they put us in a booth that was too tight for us to sit in. There were a lot of empty tables but supposedly they were all booked. Luckily the hostess was nice and was able to move us inside, theres a VIP section near the bathroom. Much more spacious & the windows were removed so air circulation was flowing. The only downside was that we weren't able to order hookah because we were inside. So from 6pm even until after 9pm there were still empty tables, so i don't really understand why we couldn't change our reservation time or sit outside. The waitress was very kind, we got bottle service and ordered food and the evening turned out great. read more

Found this location online and it looks pretty nice to visit with my girlfriends. The location was pretty nice as expected they took proper precautions due to COVID-19 which we really appreciated. When we first arrived, the hostess was on her phone so it took her a few minutes and her co worker to point out that we were waiting for her to notice us. Their menu was digital so you would have to scan your phone to view the menu. Their service was pretty good and the Staff was pretty attentive they served us water because it was a very hot day. They also did have a tent which was pretty cool because it seemed very private. My friends ordered the tacos one with steak and the other with shrimp I personally order the salmon over the noodles. My friends did enjoy the tacos portions could have been a bit bigger. My salmon was good and was a good portion sized meal. I thought that pasta would have tasted a bit different but overall I enjoyed my meal. We also ordered the natural drinks. The waiter told me that there was only one flavor at the time which was passion fruit. Towards the end of our meal, we asked for the bill. When trying to pay separately ( 2 cards and cash) the waiter asked me if I can just have my friends Zelle me the money because it was confusing for her. In my opinion that would be one of the reasons why I rated 3 stars. Either way I paid for the meal and had my friends reimburse me. They also open at 4 pm Service: 4/5 Food: 4/5 Ambiance: 5 read more

I have been visiting establishments over the past few months and wanted to visit this place. Since it's getting warm out, Sunday brunch is a must! I looked up The Garden a year ago but did not try it at that time. A year ago I was intimidated by the rules, dress wear requirements and and cancellation fee. Also there was an incident where people assumed a DJ was asked to leave due to playing hip/hop and R&B. To be honest, as a Black woman and knowing many times black parties are often denied access for a multitude of unrealistic reasons, I honestly did not want to experience this with this establishment, so I chose to cancel my reservation. Fast forward a year, I wanted to see what the hype was and the esthetics are beautiful! I decided to book a reservation for 2! I went on a Sunday and when I tell you I had a great time, I absolutely enjoyed myself. I wanted to find a place where the brunch had bottomless mimosas, and this place did. The music was well versed, the food amazing and the bottomless mimosas were very good! The only thing I think I had questions about was the menu. I wanted to order off of the regular menu ( empanadas and corn) but I was told that brunch was only being served. (I went at 1pm) I didn't make it a big deal and just ordered off of the brunch menu. I was observing a party of maybe 5 girls and they did not choose the brunch menu, but did have the bottomless mimosas. I just want next time some clarity if I can have appetizers or only brunch. The girls even had chips and dip! Anyway I had a good time, took a mode reel and will share on my tiktok for recommendations ! @ziggie_life read more

The Garden - Steak from brunch menu - Wine Bars Near Me - Elizabeth, New Jersey

Came here with the girls for brunch on a Saturday and had a great time. The ambience is beautiful, the drinks at the bar are creative and delicious. We got the brunch special which was super reasonably priced and they gave alot of food (appetizers: chips and guac, skewers and empanadas main you can choose from a range of things such as steak and eggs, salmon (my personal choice), chicken (was dry so don't recommend that one), and some other things then finished off with dessert of flab and idk what the other thing was but taste like a coffee soaked cake) we also added on the bottomless option. The waitress was very quick and attentive. There was points where your cup was getting refilled after only a sip that's how on it she was. Overall had a good time. read more

LONG REVIEW* I would first like to mention that I posted a TikTok on this place because I did have a fairly good experience but I received an overwhelming amount of comments talking about the racist behavior of the owners/staff. I was made aware there was an issue a year ago. I cannot speak for anyone else's experience but I think it would be important to address this matter more efficiently and I'd like to know if management has changed since. MY EXPERIENCE- I visited The Garden for a friend's birthday. We were in a group of 10 people and came for the prix fixe brunch. Parking is not great so prepare accordingly. I also would make sure to check the reservation and dress code policy as I hear they are sometimes strict. There was a $20 per person deposit and changes or cancelations need to be made 48 hrs prior. We were not all there at the reservation time but we were sat down. They seemed a bit confused and tried to seat us with a group that wasn't ours and when we explained to them we're a different party they did seat us at our correct table toward the back (where the bigger groups were seated). The place is small. The decor was nice and tropical and it's definitely a party vibe. The music is loud. They have a live DJ and he was really good. I expected party vibes so I didn't mind. He played mostly throwback R&B, caribbean, and reggaeton. I'd say the biggest downside was how hot it was. We were right by the heater unfortunately. Our original waitress took some time to come and did not offer waters or anything. I was confused as to who our actual waiter was because a different one came and assisted us for the rest of the afternoon. The new waiter explained we could have unlimited Bellinis or mimosas and it was $20 I believe. I don't really remember how long it was allowed. It seemed like 2 or more hours but it could've been different. He took our drink orders and our drinks were brought out pretty quick. They were on top of refilling our glasses which was good. It tasted like it had a good amount of alcohol. The prix fixe menu included appetizers consisting of guac and chips, beef and chicken skewers, and chicken and garlic spinach empanadas. We all liked every appetizer. They were brought out 1 by 1. They took the entree order at the same time as the apps so they could bring it out right after. Afterward they ended up having a conga line and gave out free shots by the DJ set to get the party going more. I found this really cool and fun. A lot of people stood up and danced all around the small place. You could see the place gradually getting more lit. While me and my friend were away from the table they served the entrees. When we got back we all ate. I ordered the 8osz churrasco with moro rice and plantains. It was very good! Cooked and flavored nicely. I'd compare it to Rumba Cubana. Then they took our dessert orders and the staff came out singing happy birthday to my friend and served her a chocolate dessert. We all had tres leches. I asked if any of the desserts contained nuts due to my allergy and the waiter went to ask the chefs which I appreciate. He got back to me and said no. Everyone enjoyed the desserts. I had the chocolate one since I prefer it over tres leches. Our bill wasn't as high as I thought it's be. It was just $85/$90 per person which is good for what we received imo. I did enjoy my experience but I think it's important to be transparent as an establishment and acknowledge any shortcomings when it comes to management/staff and make any necessary changes. You are in a diverse city and state at the end of the day and that should be valued. read more

Come for the vibe! Dj was POPPING! Wait time for food was astronomically long and truly not worthy of the wait. Reservations were for 1:30, sat down at about 2:10, ordered food at 2:20, & main entree came after 4pm! Although they kept appetizers coming, the refill on mimosas was also way too long especially when there is a 90 minute cap! read more

I've been here once for brunch and that was it. I think The Garden is fun for young people, but you really can't hear the people you're with because of how loud it is. I had to ask them to prepare another steak because I got a well done steak instead of medium well. The second time around it was good, I really liked the potatoes but the serving size could improve. The salad took up most of the plate and could've at least had more potatoes. The hookah was also mid. It's not a bad hang out spot, I still had a good time, but I just know it could've been better. read more

The Garden - Al pastor - Wine Bars Near Me - Elizabeth, New Jersey

I don't know if this a Jersey thing about overpricing for small things is too much. It's a okay place to chill and vine out but the prices are so excessive. I live in brooklyn and in the city we can get the same amount for way cheaper. The hookahs are no refills they just give a whole another hookah for $35-40 depending on what time you go. I don't see myself coming here frequently cause I just know I can get my money worth somewhere else close to me. The service is very very slow. There so busy that to reach our waiter or hookahero was a mission. They have walkies which low key helped a little but expect to still wait a while for everything. Drinks, hookah, service, even the your food. Once we got a hold of the waiter he mentioned to order everything cause it takes time. Didn't expect to sit there 40+ mins and the appetizers still didn't hit our table. Also the tip is included on the tap regardless of how many ppl u have on your table. read more
