This place should be avoided at all cost. Don’t come here the 22 year old manager creeps on the women. He should be

The tunes here are set the mood for an enjoyable Friday. The weather was just warm enough to sit on the patio. Adam was great host and server, he was able to share his favorite menu items. The bathrooms are spacious and clean-a big win in my book.

I love coming to The Garden! It's an excellent biergarten in walking distance to my house. I love to come hang out, have a pilsner, and sneak my pup a couple of french fries. (She always pulls to come in here when we walk by!) So happy to have a place like this in the neighborhood!

The Garden is great to grab a very casual cocktail or beer and hang for a bit. Their cucumber cocktail on tap is the best. I would honestly never order food here, but it's a great place to drink.

Me and my girlfriend went to The Garden around 3pm and had a nice time. So, we decided to return around 6:30pm the same day and the boys who worked there were playing around and threw a ball and it hit us! Instead of apologizing they hid around the corner and laughed. I don't know if it was because we are black or gay, but I do not recommend going here!

Tasty food and none of the wait like Matt and Tony's... although it's a bit different fare. Great drinks, reasonable prices and a couple of screens out back to catch a game. Lots of seating and great service.Very efficient ordering system.The music is like a non-stop hit soundtrack. All around a great place. Very dog friendly.

Fun place to meet up with friends for a beer and a quick bite! It's also a very dog friendly place so you can meet up for a cold beer after a long walk with your pups. Easy to order and checkout via QR code on your phone. They also have a cute area that's outdoors but covered that you can book for special events.

TLDR: Fine for grabbing a drink and food, terrible for event rentalI'm sad to have to write this review as we love supporting local businesses and have had positive experiences in the past getting food/drink at the Garden, but we were very disappointed when we rented their private event space and even more so by the lack of response we've received afterward.For the interest of being succinct, the day of the event we were disappointed by: QR codes that didn't work as designed and discouraged our guests from ordering (we were told the same intuitive QR code ordering from the rest of the space would be in effect for our event, and it wasn't, and we were left fielding questions from our 50 guests on how to order the entire time), negative attitude from management (no apologies or understanding about the QR code issue, fans not working on a 90+ degree day, and general attitude that the event space wasn't their concern and they couldn't be bothered), and general lack of infrastructure/planning to support events with food and drink (another example is that we had a 2 hour event with food, but there was nothing available to keep the flies off despite it being an outdoor space in the summer). In general, it feels like their event rental is an afterthought, which is not acceptable as the space isn't cheap (they have a $1,000 food and beverage minimum for a 2 hour event). Our last issue was that we received a charge that was labeled strangely and didn't make sense to us. We've tried for the last 4 weeks to get a response from the owner, Jeremy, to understand this charge, and despite providing multiple days and times that would work for us it's been radio silence. It's one thing to disregard or disagree with feedback (their prerogative), but another thing entirely to not provide insight into a charges on a customer's bill. Very disappointed with our experience. If you're looking for event rental in Del Ray, look elsewhere (e.g., Evening Star).

Great atmosphere and the place is dog friendly. I love the strong dog community vibe in this area.The place was well cleaned, the staff was very nice and attentive. Our beers came to us I'm about a minute of putting the order in through the app, and our food also came in promptly.We only ordered mozarella sticks, but they were huge and fresh. The accompanying marinara sauce also tasted homemade.

Chill atmosphere, great service, friendly staff, great for groups with tables and group high tops available. Cozy bonfire seatings and private group section. Great cocktails and pretty good fish tacos at a reasonable price. Had a great time.Kid-friendliness: People had their toddlers w/them.
