    2/10 So this was 1st time here. Always wanted to go so we did. Came for dinner . We were greeted immediately and sat . Elijah was our server and was fantastic. We looked at menu and ordered pretty quick . Got an Ahi appetizer . Was really good and seared just right amount with a good wasabi sauce . I had the Battle born Burger with bacon and an egg. Was massive ( see pic ) and cup of tomato soup. Was good and big chunks of tomato. Forgot what wifey got but she enjoyed as well . Service was top notch always making sure we had what we needed and drinks refilled . Great food and great service. Nice chill atmosphere as well. Very clean too. Will be back to try more stuff. Enjoy !!!!

    Soba noodle salad (to go)
    Jessica F.

    Back again for my favorite soba noodle salad, it is the perfect combination of freshness, peanut crunch, and amazing sauce. It feels both light and incredibly filling and substantial at the same time. Yet again paired it with the chicken tinga tacos. Also some chips with green salsa and bean dip- the green salsa was SO GOOD! Our waitstaff was incredibly helpful and brought everything out super fast when we mentioned we had a time crunch. Love coming to Great Full Gardens each and every time!

    Ahhhhhhmazing avocado toast!  Next level!  Big serving; lots of yums
    Kendra J.

    Holy frijoles! Service was excellent and food equally so. I work as a private chef (on the side) and I'm naturally tuned into macro and micro details... Restaurant was very clean and bright... Staff was super kind and genuine about making sure it was a positive experience... Food was fresh and tasty, with attention to detail. I had the Avocado Toast - which was a very generous portion; I had two pieces and still had plenty of leftovers to take to a fellow chef friend as she was homebound from surgery... even had enough leftovers for her son, too. I'm not sure if I'm going back for the food or the service, but I'm DEFINITELY going back. Run, don't walk!

    I usually go for lunch and love the variety of healthy options as well as the glow girl mimosa. I went with my daughter the other day for breakfast. I've heard the waffles were good and it did deliver. I didn't realized that she had ordered one that had ice cream on it. Definitely rich, but also super satisfying with the caramel and chocolate drizzle and almond slices. The ahi on the eggs Benedict was seared and crispy making it a great addition. The eggs are over easy, which is fine. My preference would be to have the eggs poached. The potatoes had a nice crisp to them making it flavorful. Our waiter was attentive and really on everything. I think everyone is always really friendly. The location is always clean and the art work that you can purchase is a nice touch. I would say the ambiance is a little cafeteria style so great for breakfast and lunch, but while I like the happy hour, I am more drawn to the Legends location for the outdoor seating at that time in warm months.

    Salmon blackened
    Richard W.

    First done-in experience with Great Full. Vatapa A rich Brazilian stew with African infuences. You can choose your own protein between shrimp + cod, chicken or tofu. Coconut milk, cashew butter, tomatoes, jalapeño, This was such a unique dish that I recommend anyone to try - although I'm not sure I would order it again. The seafood broth is undeniable. I'm having a hard time, however, defining the exact texture of this dish. There's rice and other grain or bready ingredient but I'm just not sure it worked - almost a mushy soft-rice type of consistency that got mushier as the the broth absorbed over time. Mushrooms latte - like a savory mug of hot chocolate. Not sure how these qualify as energy boosting drinks. That's all

    Grilled cheese with a side of potatoes
    Teuila G.

    I met one of my dearest oldest friends for a late birthday brunch. I'm no stranger to Great full gardens, but I usually frequent Sparks since I live closer to that location. I always order one of their superfood lattes to start and was bummed that my grilled cheese was bland and missing something. They skimped on the cheese and over toasted my sourdough. Their potatoes here are my favorite! My friend ordered their tuna melt and had no complaints about it. We didn't have room for dessert, but I offered. Our server was phenomenal! He was busy and there was a line waiting to get in, but he didn't neglect us. My friend enjoyed her birthday brunch, so that's all that mattered to me. I was digging for my receipt to recover my server's name, but no luck. As busy as they were on this day, they still provided great service from the door until we left. Thank you all! We'll see you again.

    The Jull's Breakfast Tacos at Great Full Gardens.

    I'm never disappointed when I come here. Tonight I had the Buffalo Cauliflower and the Chicken Tinga Tacos. The service here is also consistantly great and tonight was no exception. They do have some Fall specials I would like to come back and try.

    Bedazzle Waffle 3PO
    Alix B.

    Anything and everything here is amazing - if you're looking for a salty and savory treat don't skimp on the Bedazzle Liege waffle with bacon, cheese, and egg. I don't put the syrup on it. It's one of a kind, portioned right, and you won't want to share, so order two ;)

    I ordered the poke bowl it was yummy, a few of the poke pieces were chewy. I didn't really care for the sauce, could be partly as I am not a fan of mayo. Great location and clean restaurant. The decor is nice and I love to look at all the artwork inside. The service is great, very friendly.

    Roasted eggplant soup, large bowl
    Judith G.

    I love this place for breakfast or lunch. Th food is fresh, local when available and delicious. The service is always proficient, professional and personable. The ambiance is family friendly, colorful and comfortable. There are other options in different parts of town so you know this is a popular restaurant. I love bringing guests from out of town here to try something terrific!

    Maryanna S.

    This is my favorite location of this place! Had a great breakfast before some holiday shopping. Their specials on their holiday menu looked amazing. The red velvet maca (non-caffeinated coffee like drink) was perfect!! Get the huevos pupusas, they are my absolute favorite!

    Vatapa, yes please
    Tara S S.

    Vatapa ROCKS! I had never heard of this dish before and so I thought I would try it for lunch. It was awesome light curry flavor with a little kick of heat. And I got to choose whether I wanted seafood, chicken, or tofu in it. It's evidently a Brazilian dish. A Brazilian more times. Super happy because I have enough for dinner too. Have to cut this short cause I need to go walk it off.

    Mimosa!

Quality/Quantity - It was great that we all chose different dishes!! Better for my Yelp pictures, lol. A simple menu done well. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Today we got the following: Complimentary Bread - Cheddar jalapeno bread, ONE per person. We almost had to fight each other for this, lol. Pork Bun Appetizer - Wow, these were HUGE! For us light eaters, this could have been a meal?!?! Octopus - 4 couples shared two orders. Actually, we all shared our appetizers. The octopus was so tender. I would have preferred more of an outer layer crisp...? Lightly higher fire to char the outer skin...? Short Ribs - What?!?! My wife craved this...? Normally she would get the fish. The flavors were good, but there were a few pieces that she could not eat... Ribeye, Shoestring Fries & my Pinot and Cabernet - My usual order. Cooked well, except in my opinion, it had excess butter. Most people would probably enjoy that, lol. The shoestring fries were PERFECT, I shared with the table. Salmon - Normally my wife's dish. This was also cooked perfectly and plated perfectly. See pictures. Halibut - Good. My buddy usually gets a steak, this was our second dinner that he ordered more healthy?!?! What is happening? He is actually the biggest eater in the group, I hope he did not leave hungry. He did not even order dessert and he used to always have room for dessert?!?! Duck - Wow, I was jealous when I saw this come out! I actually thought my friend ordered a pork loin as this duck breast was so huge! If you are following, I have been having some amazing ducks on my last SF, CA trips!! I will/may get this next time. Scallop - This looked good. I am sure it was, but this guest just sat too far away from me to question, lol. Dessert - Chocolate Yummy, I was told it was yummy, lol. My wife and I did not have room for more food. Plus, I was still enjoying my wine. And to wash it all down, a glass of Pinot and a glass of Cabernet. Ambiance - 25+ years, and the place still looks the same, great job. Even the orange exterior paint job holds up! Open kitchen. Our favorite concepts! Nice bar area, small dining area, semi private dining for a few tables in the rear of the building, and lastly outdoor dining. See pictures. Small parking lot in the rear (as per my wife), but plenty of free 2 hour street parking. Only open 3 days a week for dinner on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Call to confirm days and hours, good luck. Interesting enough for a Saturday evening, the restaurant was only half full?!?! Service - Not sure when the last time we have been here, we have been working on the last year trying to get reservations. No website, not on Open Table, Tock, Yelp reservations, etc... My wife finally left a message and 4 days later you called her back to confirm, thank you. The front of the house was welcoming. Got here a few minutes early and she and he sat us down immediately. The "bus boy" was good, got us water, ice, etc. The waiter was okay, not good or bad. Good to see that the restaurant was fully staffed, I was worried about the major reduction in days and hours. We stayed 3 hours, and never felt rushed to leave. As the last guests were leaving, we got our que, lol. So good to enjoy a great meal with good friends. Price - $530 + tip. Expensive, but worth it. Nice treat, especially for our friends. Wow, it's been a long time since I have seen a hand written check. And for a party of 6, no automatic tip?!?! Thank you. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success for the last 25+ years. And the success of your other restaurant Kauboi Izakaya (2016) a few blocks north of here. I really hope Lulou makes it, now only being open 3 days a week.

The ambiance was a bit weird for me, a bunch of servers just standing around by the kitchen and the music just didn't match the vibes. Which is fine, just a personal opinion, since this is supposed to be considered "fine dining". The lamb was okay, it didn't quite have a sear on it, and I'm pretty sure it was missing a sauce or chimichurri because it was pretty bland. The fries were the best tasting thing we ordered. The complimentary bread was very dry and so salty. The biggest let down was the service. When we asked for our food to be packaged to go, the server started cleaning up our table, and he stacked our dirty plates onto our plates with food on it. Then he continued to pick up fries that had fallen onto our table, and put it with our leftover food. (I did not want dirty fries in my leftover box, but sure enough it was packaged in there). Also, the server ended up picking up a dirty fry that fell on the floor, and put it on our plates with our to go food! Completely unsanitary in my opinion and just not a good image, to be stacking dirty plates on my to go food, and also dirty food from the floor, on my plate with my food? Disgusting. When you pay this much money, you expect real fine dining. I wasn't impressed with anything, and service was a huge let down for a "fancy restaurant".

We've been here so many times and it is sometimes hit or miss with small issues so I've never had the need to post an update but this last visit forced the issue. I don't know if they were understaffed or just not able to handle the task at hand but they definitely let us down. Not many staff seem to stick around which could also be an issue.
