Restaurants associated with tourist attractions are notoriously lackluster. Why be good when you don't have to be? Reading prior reviews of the Garden View Restaurant overlooking the Oregon Gardens in Silverton, OR that appears to have been the case. But, judging from our recent experience, someone in a a position to do something apparently read the reviews and said "not... More

We hit the wall of reality when we discovered the vegetarian vegan options weren't . Adrienne our waitress made things right for my wife by negotiating what was listed as vegan into the real thing rather than disguised sausage. Me, settled for the unvarnished special which was too much of a bad thing. .. Possibly a COSTCO sausage on a... More

Most of the family was satisfied with the food quality. My club sandwich came with sourdough, which I detest, even though I had requested wheat. The service was extremely slow , although the restaurant was not that busy at the time. Just an average restaurant with rather expensive fare and slow service. The waitress was pleasant and it was not... More

Even though they have a gluten free chef, the available entrees are rather mundane. Our steaks were nicely cooked but the side dishes were bland. Excellent service from our server, Jess who made sure our food was safe. The buffet style breakfast was fine and again the staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. The view of the Oregon Garden from... More

A really nice view, but don't come here for a special meal. My Portobello mushroom was way overstuffed! Could hardly find it under all the glop on top of it. A bit of delicacy in the treatment would have been nice...the flavor was lost. My partner's pork chop was overcooked and dry. The seafood cocktail was quite good and enough... More

The dinner was outstanding. The steak was cooked to perfection and very tender. The salmon was not overdone. The buffet breakfast was good, although not really note worthy.

The inside ambiance is dull and traditional, food is good but very average too. We tried duck breast, it was good and juicy, but cod was dry and tasteless. The wine had sediment in the glasses. Service was slow. At the end the busy waiter was charging us for 2 bottles instead of 2 glasses, but when the bill was... More

The views overlook the Oregon Garden and food selection quite limited though adequate. Service is exceptional.

My wife and I took her 91 year old mom here for her birthday lunch. We have been here before and like the atmosphere overlooking the garden and the nice decor. Unfortunately we all ordered the same thing, however it was good. My wife and I split and her mom had the special prime rib sandwich. Unusually, the sandwich had... More
