The Garden Market — Restaurant in Toro Canyon

Updated review. We stopped going there for several years, because the lady who was usually there has the ugliest attitude. She was always the same and made you feel like she hated you coming in. She was the only nasty one there and sadly all but one time, the only one who took our order. My earlier review was based on the one time out of 50 that someone else was tat the register and she was delightful. For convenience sake, we decided to go there again and it was wonderful. We didn't see the unpleasant owner or mgr that was there all but the one nice time. The woman who took our order today was very sweet and based on her, we will go back again. It was such a nice experience, I inquired if they had new owners. They have downsized the space so sitting inside would be a big no for me. It is very cluttered. The garden area in the back is still a beautiful place.

Earlier review: Great food. I love the garden area. The lady who takes the orders was surprisingly...

The food here is great. The service however is almost comically unacceptable. The woman that owns the place is a bit nasty to customers and I don't think she cares.

When we asked the management to make good on this they were a bit annoyed that we asked them to redo our food and give us what we had paid for. These mistakes happen almost every time I have been there. The food is good, so I keep giving it a chance for some reason. The managers also seem to have similar nasty attitudes. Not what you would call a welcoming place. The setting and food is decent, however. I can't say it doesn't have good food. If you are looking for a lunch spot that is welcoming, friendly, and provides good service, this is not the...

Charming spot, and I was excited to try it. I ordered the waffles but was really disappointed to find out they were prepackaged, not freshly made. I let the staff know I wasn’t aware they were processed and asked to exchange them for something else. The cashier said they couldn’t do that, so I asked for a refund. Another staff member came over, and I had to explain the situation again, even though the cook had already confirmed the waffles weren’t made in house. They ended up allowing me to order something else. Also, so pricey for what it is. Overall, not a great experience. If the food isn’t fresh or doesn’t meet expectations, it should be...
