About

Gardens Restaurant and Catering, a restaurant in the Dallas, Texas area, features a garden-style venue for a couple’s wedding day. This venue features natural and outdoorsy spaces as well as a classic banquet area for a couples’ wedding. It can be found in the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, approximately 30 minutes from the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

Facilities and Capacity
This romantic venue sits on 110 acres of beautiful gardens and landscaping. The entire venue, with the restaurant and outdoor deck used together, holds 250 guests for a couple’s wedding. The restaurant has three main rooms to choose from in addition to an outdoor deck and the garden areas. The Main Room, with a wedding capacity of 90 guests, features floor-to-ceiling windows and stone walls between the panels of glass. The coffered ceiling gives off its own light in varying brightnesses, and the polished stone underfoot makes for an excellent dance floor. The Board Room is a more traditional space. It seats up to 50 guests and features brown carpeting to match the polished wooden mantel of the room’s fireplace. The Mural Room, as the name suggests, has walls covered in colorful garden murals. This banquet hall room has a flat cathedral ceiling and and a large window at one end of the space. The garden mural includes many shades of green to depict scenes of elegant gardens with trees, shrubbery, and pathways. A tile floor invites guests to put on their dancing shoes, and a doorway leads directly to The Board Room, so that the two spaces may be used together seamlessly. The Covered Deck is a low wooden deck with a matching railing. Overhead, a curved glass roof shades couples and guests from the sun and rain. This space seats 45 guests and is surrounded by plant life. Another beautiful outdoor space at this location is the Japanese Gardens. Couples can use this space for their wedding where they’ll find winding paved patio paths, ornate plant life, and unique pavilion areas.

The entire staff at the Gardens Restaurant are the best ever. From Samantha, the manager, to Wayne, and all the servers, I have never seen so many people care about the quality of their food, the environment and your happiness with their services.

The food is beautifully prepared and presented. A full menu including gluten free and vegetarian as well as family favorites - always delicious!

I have thrown large private celebrations which were outstanding and people are still talking about, to bringing friends, family and clients on Sunday brunch - all raving...

The Gardens Restaurant is our "go to" place in Fort Worth for dining with friends. We then spend some time in the gardens and enjoy all that makes the Botanic Gardens spectacular and the Gardens Restaurant outstanding.

The restaurant manager and assistant manager are courteous, knowledgeable and agreeable persons with whom it is easy to work. They carefully listened to our desires, attentive to our concerns, and presented a nice assortment of choices. The venue had well-appointed amenities and was nicely furnished and decorated for our event. The food was appropriately cooked and seasoned, served in generous portions and well-presented. The waitperson assigned to our wedding luncheon was pleasant and efficient. Our guests were extremely complimentary of our wedding luncheon in all respects. The Garden Restaurant comes HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. They hit a grand slam home run and will certainly be used by us for future family events.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
