I've been to Garden twice and have found the food to be wonderful each time. The mussells are by far my favorite, but the potato leek soup with black truffle and thyme is a close second (don't expect it to be chunky....it's smoothe and creamy). Probably the best way to enjoy the food is to go with a couple of friends and share around. The bread is plentiful and comes to your table with herbed chive butter (a nice touch!), so you can soak up all the wonderful sauces. The chef has a wonderful ability to seek out the freshest herbs and tastiest local ingredients to create mouth-watering masterpieces that will keep you coming back for more. If you need salt and pepper, however, you need to ask....it's the only thing missing from the beautiful copper-topped tables. And, although they don't have a dessert menu, they will bring you complimentary chunks of dark chocolate with your bill. A great place to bring a crowd that's a mix of carnivores and veggies, btw.
Pros: Fair price, nice atmosphere, delicious food, friendly staff, meat and veggie dishes aplenty
Cons: no dessert, can't bring a large group easily
