Top notch!

Let’s start off with Stacy! She was amazing from the moment I contacted Garden Cafe to host my dinner wedding to our goodbyes. She took care of me and my guests as her own. From making sure everyone had drinks and food in a timely manner to befriending all my guests and being part of the celebration. She took care of decir and took that off my hands on such an important day. I cannot thank her and the staff enough for making sure everything was perfect. I will def recommend them to everyone and I will def be back with another event. Quality service and such a charming garden cannot be matched.

A beautiful day and an amazing Stacy!

This was an AMAZING decision for our wedding reception. We held our ceremony at Ft. Tryon Park and then headed over to the Garden Cafe for brunch, mimosas, and celebration. We had a small wedding of about 50 people. Stacy was such a huge help. From the first time we met with her to select the place, I knew it was the one. She took care of everything before and day of. She was flexible and open to our ideas. She made sure we had everything we needed day of. The staff was amazing. It was affordable, beautiful, and super fun. We had a lot of positive feedback about this place. I highly recommend!!

A Wonderful Evening at Garden Cafe

Garden Cafe provided a wonderful event space and wedding dinner. Stacy and her team were responsive, professional, and provided a personal touch that made the evening memorable. If we were to organize the entire wedding again, we would definitely trust Garden Cafe with the dinner and reception. They were not short of exceptional!

Perfect Intimate Wedding!

Honestly, couldn’t have asked for a better wedding venue! The manage was extremely responsive and willing to work with my needs. I only had 7 weeks to plan my small wedding ceremony and reception. They were able to host both events in their private garden patio. The most intimate, cozy garden hidden in NYC! My guests couldn’t stop raving about the food, service, and overall beauty of the location!

Baby Shower

Stacy & Gus along with their diligent and talented team are a dream come true for planning and hosting a party - the food, beer and wine selection is vast, fresh and flavorful - we couldn’t ask for more. We’ve lived in the neighborhood for 7 years and we attribute much of our delight when going out to knowing we have their restaurants to rely on. Can’t wait for the next big event!

Birthday Brunch

I celebrated my birthday at Garden Cafe and it was beyond my expectations. The staff was very nice and accommodating, the food was great and restaurant's garden was super cute! Stacy was nice enough to show us the secret garden where the cherry blossoms were falling to the ground creating a picture perfect scene. I would highly recommend Garden Cafe for any event!

A hidden little gem

Garden Cafe is truly a little hidden gem in uptown Manhattan. My brother and I celebrated my mom’s 70th birthday, and I could not have asked for a better outcome. The service and attention we received from Stacy and her staff was superb. I have never seen anyone respond to email inquiries with such quick response, and let me tell you, the emails were at least 20! My guests enjoyed the food and drinks equally. Some even ordered to take home. Our only regret was not having booked this place for 6 hours. I look forward to returning and having another skirt steak. Stacy, thanks again for making my mom’s birthday extra special.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
