Garden Café By Kravitz - Youngstown

Located in Mill Creek Metro Park’s flower garden, the Garden Cafe lacks proper service, acceptable portion sizes, friendly service, and eco-friendly dinnerware. My party of four expected to enjoy a delightful lunch overlooking the beautiful park however, our experience was a disappointment. First off let me say the view is the only positive attribute of this cafe. There is partial table service. You need to order inside and the food is brought to your table. All food is served on paper and utensils are plastic, not very eco-friendly. Prices would be reasonable if portion sizes were equivalent to other restaurants. Instead, sizes are comparable to tapas plates. To top of our experience the service was subpar and staff was unfriendly. I will not be returning to the Garden Cafe when I return to Youngstown, nor will I recommend this establishment to family or friends.

The food was good as usual... however for the cost of the Ruben sandwich i should not leave hungry. This has happened both times I came to this location. I have never had the issue at the Belmont location but I always order the biggest option. That isn't even available here. I understand stuff has been getting more expensive but I can't keep stopping if I have to go somewhere else after.

Room with a view! Nice little place with inside and outside seating. Lovely view, good food, and friendly service! Perfect place for lunch when visiting Mill Creek Metro Park! Parking: Lots of parking. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy in and out.

I don’t normally write reviews, and the food was good. But, it seems a bit too laxed here. The one worker was on her phone making a personal phone call for over 30 minutes. And was on the phone even when bringing our drinks to us. The other worker there had headphones in and sat at one of the tables sitting on his phone most of the time. What looked like the manager was really great and she was very nice and accommodating. But overall. I feel as if this place is going a bit down hill. I have come here for a very long time, since it opened. And I used to come here when it was owned by another company. I feel badly. But I worry about what’s going to happen for the future if they don’t work on their staffing and what’s appropriate for the work environment.

Absolutely gorgeous atmosphere and the food is fantastic!
