Our experience at The Garden was extremely disappointing. The service was painfully slow and the food portions were far too small. The soft drinks were filled with huge ice cubes, leaving barely any room for liquid. We ordered the Chateaubriand for two and were given a very small amount of meat, a single portion of chips and one small salad to share. It felt like poor value for money and a waste of an evening on our holiday. I would not recommend The Garden to anyone looking for good food or decent service.

We expected more from this restaurant. The food was average and service not great. I had curry and this was very watery although it had good taste. My neice had the risotto and the fish taste was so strong she struggled with eating it, my husband had similar dish with pasta and said the same. (Both familiar and used to eating fish dishes) The best meal was the pork which my son had. This was cooked well and son said this was tasty .
Garden RestauranteFirst of all, we would like to thank you for your visit! Regarding the service, we are aware that it was not the best, but for sure the best possible in a evening with a packed house and the staff that we have at since we, like almost every business, have been struggling to hire! We are trully sorry for not beeing able to come up to your expectations! Thank you for your feedback, wich we will for sure consider! The Garden Restaurante Managemment

We had a lovely meal. Restaurant is modern and tastefully decorated. It’s set back slightly from the road in a lovely calm garden setting. A good menu and decent prices.

Cannot fault the food at all, it was very good. Unfortunately it was let down by the service. There didn’t seem to be anyone with a derived role or responsibility for the table, we were visited by 4 staff members over the course of our visit. They got the food and drinks we ordered correctly but it was terribly slow and nobody seemed to know what their role was. It’s a real shame as the food was excellent, but on the basis of the service we wouldn’t return or recommend dining here unless you have the patience of Job.
Garden RestauranteFirst of all we would like to thank you for your visit! Regarding the service that is true that it hás been very slow and for that we would like to apologize since not just us but every business are struggling for manpower! We must say that we are also aware that just the image of our building create expectations by it selo and we must say that we are working on so we can have not just good food but also a good service! Thank you also for your honest words! The Garden Restaurante Management
6.0
Food was pretty book, service very poor. We really couldnt get menus, order, order more wine, or get a check. We were just ignored. Sorry they are having such a hard time staffing the restaurant, but perhaps they should take fewer guests. There were three servers for like 30 tables an they just could not keep up.
Garden RestauranteWe are truly sorry for not beeing able to providencie you with the service that you expected! We can assume you that we are working so it does not happen again! What you suggest is something that we were already considering and even doing not long ago, in fact hosting less guests is how we built our reputation! So, we thank you, not just for your visit but also for your words! Thank you, The Garden Restaurante Manager

We were a group of 8, 4 couples who all enjoyed the restaurant. Food and staff were excellent and the setting was really nice. Happy to return the next time we are in Carvoeiro.

A warm welcome from Fabio, he was able to advise us on our food choice and we had the best steaks. The whole meal was lovely and beautifully presented, very good value. Then the live music from a duo just made it that much more special. The staff all work well and it's certainly a restaurant I would want to visit again.

We spoke about the Beiroa liquor and the owner brought us both a white port to taste. It was good but I still ordered a Beiroa as an after dinner drink. The entire Garden experience was top notch. We ended up with a wine cooler courtesy of the owner. Great host and we highly recommend trying the Garden restaurant.

This was the best restaurant we ate at in Carvoierio. Maybe a bit more toward American fine dining than European, but fresh, simple preparations, friendly and knowledgeable service, and a well thought out space. A great meal.
Garden RestauranteMr. Rodriguez, thank you for your visit and kind words! We hope to be able to host you again sometime soon! Thank you The Garden Restaurante Team

Fabio always makes us feel welcome. The food is fantastic and he always pairs the most wonderful wine for me. The restaurant is cozy and has a warm ambience in winter. Definitely the best restaurant in Carvoerio

Service was great, everyone was really friendly and knowledgeable, although I was promised a flyer about regional vineyards which I left without. Food was lush. We visited late October and there was a definite chill in the air. Our meals would have been even better if they had been served on hot platters and our plates had been hot too. Overall a good restaurant that could be fantastic with a couple of tweaks. We all had a really great evening, thank you.

The ambience is really nice but the service is too slow. Overall during our stay in carvoeiro it feels like standard is to have to wait for about an hour until your food arrives.
Garden RestauranteFirst of all, thank you for your visit and review! Regarding the delays on the service, it is a fact that everyone is struggling for manpower, this is an issue in every activities, not just in restaurants and hospitality! And considering the informations from our guests from several areas of the globe, not just in Portugal and the less in Carvoeiro! Regarding our business, we are trying to change this situation! One of the possibilities would be changing our menu! But we truly believe that everyone prefers to have more elaborated and different traditional Portuguese food! Another option is to limit the number of guests, which is something that we are already doing! Thank you

Wonderful live music, great venue with beautiful furniture and great decor overall. Each of the people who work there are smiley, positive and pleasant, I just deducted one star because our table were out of drinks and food a couple of times and it took a long while for them to notice. I had the octopus which with the grilled aubergine was excellent. The dessert was a nice, wobbly panna cotta with raspberry coulis and a toucinho do ceu, almond cake which my fiance said was one of the best desserts she'd ever tasted.

This was a very pleasant dining experience. Good food with live music to entertain which had the right level to be enjoyable but not conversation stifling! Service a little off but they were a couple of staff down and why rush anyway - we are on holiday! We would certainly go again.
