It was my first time to dine at The Gardens yesterday, well, most of us since I'm with my fellow websites. 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 website friends, it tastes as good as the other two. So, job well done! You guys should try it! :) Food: Acai Breakfast BowlSea Bass with Roasted VegetablesGardens Brunch Pasta

I tried their Honey Roasted Sticky Pork served with brown rice and I was impressed. It's a bit pricey but I didn't mind because the meat was soft, tender, and tasted perfectly with brown rice.The following day, I went back to have breakfast. I ordered American Breakfast which composed of Old-fashioned Pancakes, free range egg, honey bacon, and freshly squeezed orange juice for almost 400 bucks. It's quite expensive so I did expect so much from it.When it was served, I was dismayed. It was very simple that I can make it at home. It didn't feel (and taste) worth 400 pesos. I could've had way better breakfast from IHOP or Denny's with the same price or lesser.Pancake was ordinary, Pancake house has better for justP150. Bacon was salty despite the honey. Well for the egg, I had it changed to scrambled. They didn't even serve two eggs for the its price. Juice was good but still it didn't justify the 400 pesos that I spent for this kind of breakfast.

Quite a good place for pasta and sandwiches. I got a good Garden Brunch Pasta and Grilled Chicken Sandwich via delivery.The pasta was tasty and well put together. Tomatoes, roasted veggies and a 7 minute egg in a good mushroom bacon cream sauce. The egg added good body to the pasta.Grilled chicken sandwich was ok. Chicken was a bit hard to bite through which is not a good thing while eating a sandwich. Battered fries were good

The name itself sort of suggest that this good brunch place and seeing the interior from the outside would invite those people who would want to catch-up with friends over a good breakfast.We sampled numerous dishes on their menu. First is the Garden brunch pasta which is interesting because of the soft boiled egg in the middle though too creamy for my liking, Cereal crusted chicken is just alright and somewhat on the dry side, and Rum glazed banana buttermilk pancakes seems lacking in something it is good but I can't seem to point what is missing. Ohhh I love that they have a promotion for your second cup of coffee, this is a good deal especially those who are not satisfied with just one cup, though at first we were skeptic about the chlorophyll water. :P Overall, this is a good place to have your breakfast fix.

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 surpriseWe 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 combinationThe Baked Cereal Chicken and Scones was another favorite..it was moist tender inside yet really flavorful and crunchy on the outsideWe had an amazing time, the staff was attentive and efficient.Would love to be backWith Sai

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!

The Gardens is such a beautiful bright and cozy place. They have an extensive menu that has something for all kinds of people. Their rhum glazed banana pancakes and herb pesto couscous are awesome! this is a very good place to start the day.

I really wanted to like this place.A healthy restaurant with beautiful decorations, a calming setting and good service. What can anyone else want?Food. At the end of the day, we go to restaurants to delight our tastebuds and say that money is well spent. The food here is not awful, it is plated for Instagram, it is really filling, but it really isn't special. Their Gardens Brunch Pasta tastes a lot like the 25-peso pasta from UP, but with a slightly cracked, hard to peel egg involved. The Very Berry smoothie tastes like the sad cousin Jamba Juice didn't want anywhere near their table, and the Baked Cereal Chicken and Scones had pink Chicken and hard, dry scones. The food here is relatively expensive for its value and I don't think it is worth the money.I don't think I'll be back again, but I'd like to believe that I just picked the wrong menu items and the food here is actually good. P.S. Is it just me, or is something wrong with their wi-fi?

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.

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.
