I have been going into the Garden Cafe since their opening. I enjoy the food very much, however, on several occasions I have had a very negative experience with the wait staff. The male server has been very abrupt and on a few occasions down right rude to me and others at the table. He is not very attentive and I had to wait long periods of time for his attention while he chatted it up with friends at the counter. I do really love the food, but when the wait staff leaves you feeling like a nuisance its hard to want to come back and spend money there.
Sincerely,
A hurt customer

The Garden Cafe in Woodstock makes some very tasty vegetarian food. Also some very bland food, but most of it is tasty. The restaurant itself is small but charmingly decorated. The owner is often on the premises, she obviously cares about making delicious, clean vegetarian food. I wish that she would care more for the staff, however. It might be a problem of the area, as there always seems to be a new wait staff, but I have had several really bad experiences with rude waiters at this restaurant. I'm a local, and for a while was ordering from them at least once a week. The staff is often disorganized, and a bit cold and rude. Truly it's a shame, because aside from this (and the relatively over-priced menu - 21 for a plate of Polenta with Peas and Mushrooms BEFORE TAX is really pushing it!) the restaurant would be very easy to recommend. As it is, however, I can just say the food is sometimes delicious.
