WG never disappoints. We celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary last night at the Gardens. It’s where we went on our first date and also where my husband proposed. We’ve gone every year since to celebrate. It is no wonder that they are still around. The owners use fresh ingredients for all of their fare and also focus on customer service. It’s a winning combination.
