The Garden Café’s menu pays tribute to the joy of sharing good food with friends. In addition, our award winning Sunday Brunch is a sumptuous feast, derived from inspired comfort dining. 

Delicious pastas, gourmet burgers, seafood, steaks and house made soups round out the Garden Café’s delectable offerings. All accompanied by our famous artisan breads, baked fresh each day in The Grand America’s bakery.

Just make sure to leave room for one of the Garden Café’s devilishly tempting, seasonal desserts!
