The Garden Restaurant is highly regarded for its location at Temple Square and its scenic views of Salt Lake City. Most reviewers enjoy the food, particularly highlighting the famous Lion House rolls and the jalapeno pork sandwich. The atmosphere is described as a mix of casual and polished, though the counter-service ordering system can be a surprise to some.

The staff is generally described as helpful, though one reviewer noted a frustrating interaction regarding a missing item.
