Food and service always great here. Except on this night the waitress was a little rushed and unfocused. She forgot to put the order in for one of our pizzas. Then blamed it on us saying we told her we only wanted one. Not what happed at all. We initially ordered 3 pizzas and the. She said they have gluten free why don’t you do two instead so we agreed. She only put the gluten free one in to make and we never received the regular cheese.

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.
