Garden + Grain

We ate at Garden and Grain a couple times during our stay at the Gaylord because we loved, loved, loved the food. The food is not only healthy, locally sourced and fresh, but delicious and artfully plated.The dining room is upscale and gorgeous. The ceilings are high with beautifully tiled. Seating is comfortable and it is easy to have a conversation. We shared the G&G salad at every visit. The salad is huge with fresh greens, fennel slices, carrot and pomegranate. We also had the Brussel sprouts app, the sprouts are served on a bed of cashew miso hummus, which is delicious. Chili crunch's added flavor and texture. We also tried the Blistered Shishito pepper dish which was huge with roasted peppers with chili crunch. The dish was easily shareable. I had the Burrata and Heirloom Tomato Bowl as a main during our most recent visit. The cheese is soft and fresh. The tomatoes and dressing delicious. I love their fresh focaccia. They have a kid's menu, so my granddaughter had the salmon and fruit salad. The salmon was delicious - 5 star seared with crispy skin. The fruit was fresh but the pineapple had a bit of discoloration. Our service was mixed. We had the same server, but they seemed to be understaffed, so she seemed to be stretched. She did not bring us plates for our apps, which we were sharing. When we asked for plates, she brought tiny bread plates. We asked for a to go box for our granddaughter's meal, and never received one. Main dishes came out before apps on our first visit. Our server was friendly, but I felt like we were on a bad episode of a top chef competition. That said, the food was excellent, so good that we came back. I found myself craving the G&G salad the next day. The restaurant is beautiful. Prices are reasonable. I go back, even if I wasn't staying at the hotel. It's that good.

Very clean and well laid out restaurant. Our server was very attentive and explained the menu very well. The fig and pear pizza was unique and definitely worth trying out. Braised octopus had deep rich flavor and focaccia bread complimented perfectly.They will also validate the parking.

Came here with my family on a Thursday night around Christmas time. Got here right when they opened and since I was the second person in line (couldn't make a reservation), we were seating right away. Rayne was out waitress, and she was great.The food was all delicious. The Brussel Sprouts were our favorite! The pizza was good but not great, felt a little skimpy on the toppings. They have plenty of seats both inside and on the patio which gives you a good look of the lobby and people passing by.I did take off one star because the hours are extremely limited. Opening at 5pm then closing at 10pm is a very small window. Also, I know that they use a few different kitchens for the food but the pizzas came out at the same time as the appetizers and the salad came out after all the other items. It would be nice to at least get the food at the same time or have them space it out a but so we get the apps first.Overall, 4/5 stars!

Really, really mediocre food. Nothing all that good. Burrata salad was worst thing i have eaten this year. Gross. Pizza is ok but not great. Carrot bisque was gross, risotto is gross.

We loved the place. We requested patio seating with a great view of the resort. The pear/brie salad is highly recommended. Next time we'll try the pear / Brie pizza. Plenty of GF options and the staff was responsive, knowledgeable and friendly. We'll be back.

The food was amazing and the service is very kind 5 stars. The pepperoni pizza with ranch tasted good! Great drinks at the bar here. Loved the ahi avocado and carrot bisque.
