Too bad the place has a great outdoor area...the food is absolutely of poor quality and overpriced. I ordered a New York Strip and it was a very poor quality cut and was not cooked very well, the french fries were soggy and not crisp, and the steamed veggies were small and also of poor quality. This is the third... more

I have only eaten here once, and that was for breakfast over a year ago. We decided to give it a try for dinner against our friends advice. Since they are offering 50% off, we thought we'd give it a shot. Bad idea!! We all ordered steaks. I had the "filet mignon". NOT a filet cut. There was fat, tendons,... more

We recently returned to Rock Garden Cafe for lunch. We were last there about 16 months ago. We only had lunches there, but we keep going back because we feel it is a realiable choice for a casual lunch. As usual, I had one of the salads (huge portions), and my partner had a sandwich of some sort (also generous... more

My wife and I stopped at the Rock Garden for breakfast last Sunday. It was a beautiful warm January morning so we sat outside enjoying the sunshine and the Sunday brunch. The setting was great - and the brunch was excellent - and included an assortment of great desserts. I would definitely recommend sitting outside if the weather is suitable.... more
