Garden's Gate - TEHKUMMAH

Having ate at this establishment on numerous occasions when operated by the original owner we were extremely disappointed with this recent experience. Gone are the cloth napkins, table cloths and even drinking glasses our water was brought to us in what looked like a recycled glass ketchup bottle. But most disappointing was the food. We both ordered the steak which was described as strip loin with roasted potatoes. What we received was shredded breakfast hash browns and the toughest piece of beef we ever ate, resembling a flank steak. It was difficult to cut, even more difficult to chew. As for the vegetables there was two small heads of broccoli, overcooked. The only thing that resembled a fine dining experience was the price. To add to the ambiance was the fact that other customers were permitted to bring their dog in to the dining room. The only positive comment we can make was the fact that the server was extremely pleasant. However we will not return.

Must go restaurant, with my french bias (very picky on quality) a mix of international cuisine (and also has the american meat fare) the chef teaches in a chefs' school...

4 of us ordered the trout only to be told they only had 1 due to it being bad fair enough. She took a half an hour to return to our table to get the other 3 orders. The chicken that one person had tasted like fish was it cooked in the same oil as the trout? The indian dish was inedible and the steak dish was tough. The trout and veg were greasy. All of the veg were almost cold. Our reservation was for 6:30 and we got our meals at 7:45. It was expensive and no one was happy with their meal.

Tucked away north of the ferry just off highway #6. If you are anywhere on the island the meals served here match anything the finest city restaurants can offer!! Yvonne Cam

Wish I could give more stars but some of the food was a huge let down. Our starters of tapenade and trout fish cakes were good. Our mains of trout and a fillet steak were also good but the vegetable sides were awful. Cold and tasteless with not a hint of seasoning. Such a shame as the Gardens Gate is a cosy place that offered so much but let us down.
