Amazing set of foods, drinks and I also love the area. It is very cozy and classy! Every serving is very delicious and the quantity per serving is really big. So it is just perfect for the prices! A must visit restaurant!

Their current offer of 3 tapas for P700 is quite a deal. Their food is tasty and enjoyable too. Food can be prepared faster but I suppose it's how Filipino restaurants operate.. Heheh.

Their coffee is also good. Good place for a breakfast meeting as their breakfast menu is also delicious.

The Gardens is a nice brunch place tucked inside Rockwell’s The Grove in Pasig. Its interiors are colored white and light blue, and it is a very nice place to have a meal with your family and friends.

The food was good. I ordered the Gardens Brunch Pasta and I really liked the cream sauce with the vegetables. The food in the place is kind of on the expensive side, though. But I would go back!

One of those perfect spots for brunch is neatly tucked amidst sprouts of greens and the residential towers of Rockwell in Pasig has been a pleasant surprise

We started off with their brewed coffee served with a side of chlorophyll water to hydrate and energize.
Next came the mains:
The Gardens Salad had a nice balance of sweet,tang,creamy,earthy between the greens, the cranberry dressing, cheese and caramelized walnuts.
The Gardens Brunch Pasta had the right creamy herby taste to it.
I had the Baked Egg Chorizo which was nicely done with the runny egg atop the tomato and red wine sauce, chorizo and mozarella, paired well with the warm bread that came with it.
The Rum Glazed Bananas and Buttermilk Pancakes was a good choice. The pancakes were warm and fluffy, with the warm bananas balancing the punchiness of the sugar and rum syrup combination
The Baked Cereal Chicken and Scones was another favorite..it was moist tender inside yet really flavorful and crunchy on the outside
We had an amazing time, the staff was attentive and efficient.
Would love to be back

If you’re not a morning person, but loves to eat breakfast, this is the place that you’re looking for as they served all day breakfast!

GARDENS BRUNCH PASTA – A variety of aromatic herbs, tomatoes, roasted vegetables sauteed with mushroom, bacon cream sauce, topped with 7-minute egg. It tastes like Carbonara with a different twist, if you’re a pasta lover, this is a good choice

THE GARDENS SALAD – Fresh salad greens with caramelized walnuts and cranberry dressing. It’s a best pair on their Pasta.

BREAD BASKET – Oven baked goodies croissant, brioche, and baguette, served with butter and marmalade. While they taste good, get ready for the mess when you indulge them.

BENEDICT CRISP PROSCIUTTO & ROASTED PUMPKIN - Super healthy and yummy.

ACAI BREAKFAST BOWL - Always a good idea

The place is small but clean, you can see the kitchen near their cashier registry. You can see them preparing your food.

Great food & great ambience. A place where you can met up with your friends over a nice long chat, do bible studies or just simply enjoy your own me-time. I had their couscous salad, gambas & latte. Super love their coconut shrimps too and steak

Dropped by The Gardens and had a quick breakfast before work. I've been wanting to try this since I discovered them on social media. I love their cozy and well-lit place. It's a good brunch place with the family or with your amigas. 😂

Ordered their Acai Breakfast Bowl for 220php — blended acai berries topped with fresh fruits, chia seeds, cacao nibs, dessicated coconut, corn flakes and some peanut butter. It was refreshingly good and I felt healthy after. Haha! Wasn't too sweet, just right. The only downside is that they put ice in the smoothie. 😔 Smoothie bowls shouldn't have any ice right? Hmmm.

Service was nice, they have really friendly servers. Their location is good as it's in the heart of a residential area, it's ideal if you want a calm and quiet morning to yourself and just enjoy breakfast. ♥️

I'll be back to try some of their other items, and I NEED to try their coffee! 😅

Visited this place for a Zomato foodie meet-up and got to try three of their dishes: the Acai Breakfast Bowl, the Gardens Brunch Pasta, and the Seabass with Roasted Vegetables. The Acai Breakfast Bowl looked adorable with its light pink color. Slices of fruits, chia seeds, and desiccated cocount were neatly arranged on top, I immediately wanted to dig in as soon as I saw it! Sweetness was just right. I would definitely get one for myself when I'm in the mood for a healthy breakfast. The pasta was good, but the seabass was too salty for my taste, not advisable to be eaten on its own. I suggest eating it with rice, or pasta.

Overall, my dining experience here was enjoyable. Great ambiance, great food.

I chose this place for Mother's Day brunch because of the ambiance. The decor is so pretty! And looking at the foliage outside the glass walls enhances the overall dining experience.

We ordered the Acai Breakfast Bowl and buttermilk pancakes. They were good but not extraordinary. The iced latte is great. I also like that they give complimentary Babyccinos to kids.

This is probably not the best review of the food since we just tried those few items. I'd love to come back and try their lunch and dinner menu. The place looks fantastic at night!

Let me say that the first thing that impressed me was the ambiance. The place is not too big but the glass walls somehow do not make it feel cramped.

Now about the food. I'll start off with what I ordered - the Honey Roasted Sticky Pork. It was served very quickly and the taste was sinfully awesome! The meat was tender and had the right amount of honey flavoring to it. 

The other dishes we ordered took a while before they were served. My wife's Shrimp Paella was served in a small wok with a fried egg on top. It was flavorful with fresh fried shrimp. However the rice was a bit too spicy for my taste (but that's just me). The Paella Negra was similar except they used black rice and had cuttlefish added to the mix. Again, a bit spicy for me. The Sea Bass filet was big  that two people can share it. I'm not much a fan of fish dishes and this did not make it to my high standard (I'm not much into fishy tastes).

The drinks they served were organic and healthy.

Service was very good. Prices were a bit high though.

It was my first time to dine at The Gardens yesterday, well, most of us since I'm with my fellow foodies. I love the vibrant interior which makes the place give a more relaxed experience. Sad that we were only able to try a few from their menu. But fright not, coz these three dishes were prepared impressively. The presentation won't fool you because it's as good as it looks. I love both the Sea Bass w/ Roasted Vegatables and Gardens Brunch Pasta. I didn't try the Acai Breakfast Bowl since I'm not a fan of fruits! But according to my foodie friends, it tastes as good as the other two. So, job well done! You guys should try it! :)

We had a good brunch, nothing exceptional. Ordered their Rum Glazed Pancakes and Benedict w/ Prosciutto.

My only complaint is, there was one server on the floor even if it was a Sunday morning! There were around 5-6 tables occupied so our service took a while.

Walking around The Grove,  we were looking for a place to have an early dinner plus to discuss some things about work. We saw the Gardens and the place was quite empty so we chose this place over the other restaurants in the area. Interiors are just simple and relaxing which is perfect for those who want a quiet get away from the busy-ness of their daily routine. We ordered the steak and eggs plus the bread basket. The bread basket was generous with fresh tasting different kinds of breads! The jam and butter was good too! The steak and eggs was amazing as well! Despite the price, the steak and eggs were really of quality and the cook was done really well. I will go back again to this place soon!

I actually tried here because apparently, there was an event at my target spot. So anyway, I tried their Flat White because I need coffee to keep me awake. To my surprise, they served it with a free Chlorophyll water. And it is really good.

However, I was kind of dissatisfied with their Wi-fi 'coz apparently, the cellular signal is very weak. I wasn't able to connect at their Wi-Fi at all.

Great staff. We are always well treated when we come for a cup of coffee. I am a big fan of their drinks particularly their coffee & cold pressed juices (gets out of stock fast) but not a big fan of their food.

It was my first time to explore the expanded commercial center of The Grove, Rockwell. I was surprised to see quite a number of restaurants including none franchised ones. One of them is The Gardens. 

First thing that attracted me to go here is a nice dining interior. However with more thorough observations, they're restroom and kitchen was disorganized and dirty. 

For the food they have one excellent dish and one only good on paper. The Vegetarian Pasta had a wonderful mix of different vegetables and spices. It was too good I didn't mind that it had too much oil in it. For dessert, the Acai Smoothie Breakfast was disappointing. Poor plating, watered down and lacked coherence. Maybe their other offerings are better. 

There is a lot of potential to be great. Their menu is quite extensive and taps a growing market of healthier diners. They also have a set of juices you can have for detox and healthy lifestyle.
