Amazing gluten free pizza! Was unsure if we should order the gluten free, but it was delicious and the texture was on point. The Mead was also out of this word!! Highly recommend
What a great venue. 3 adult beverage locations in one and a fun food truck type place. We went to the cider place and got the blueberry cider. Very similar to drinking sour beer. I loved it. My friend got a glass of the mead and enjoyed it so much that he went back and got some to go. We ordered food. The Italian sandwich which my friend really enjoyed and I got the pork belly sandwich. Which was everything you think it will be. Pizza looked good. Lots of outdoor seating. Had trivia the night we were there, but we didn't play. Parking is rough but would come back for sure.
Really cozy place with all the right vendors in the area. If I lived here I'd come here, it was relaxing and the indulgences were all tasty.
Great atmosphere, very very good beers at Deft Brewing, outstanding flatbread za. Midafternoon with plenty of shade and shared picnic tables set amongst climbing hop vines. Enjoyed live music (a single man acoustic set). Great lil hideaway in the middle of a quansot hut industrial area. Cool vibes
Was craving pizza outdoors with drinks. The Garten fits the description to a tee. They've really transformed this space into a fun outdoor beergarten. It's small, but they've managed to fit a large number of picnic tables that are nicely spread out and comfortable. There are four vendors in the area serving up pizza, beer, mead and wine! They often have live musicians performing on the little stage. It's a great concept and a perfect place for a chill gathering!
I love the atmosphere of this place. The outdoor, picnic style seating is so fun, especially when there is live music. Not great for chatting though so if you're trying to catch up with someone go during a time with no performer. The pizza is super good and perfect for splitting between two. I had never had mead before either and the flight was the perfect taster, they were all very fruity and sweet which I love.
Great place for awesome music, pizza & beers! Had a great time celebrating my bro-in-laws birthday at The Garten! Ordered a couple of flights & ate some pizza and all was good! Very kid and pet friendly and had enough outdoor seating space for my family to enjoy the bands outside. Played some folksy music that I enjoyed and I'm honestly willing to go back for another special occasion!
Nice little venue. They have a stage and have live music on the weekends. Nice little gem of a place. Hidden and great vibe. There are 4 restaurants around this. Pizza cassette, deft brewery, Oddish wine, and lost meadery. Love the variety to choose from. The pizza was excellent and deft brewery was also very good. The other two were ok. I'd go back here for sure. Service was good.
We've been wanting to try this place for some time now. The patio is sprinkled with beautiful olive trees and other greenery - hops, etc. Fun fact: you can "adopt a hop." There are a few drink places to choose from- Lost Cause Meadery, Oddish wines, and Deft brewery. The food place is called Pizza Cassette and has delicious pizzas including a vegan selection. We had The Queen, Rossi No cheese (vegan) and The Sting pizzas. I stopped by Oddish for their Red blend and my husband had The Red IPA at Deft. The server at Oddish was so lovely and we had a great conversation about the wines. Love that the bottles read "unfiltered and unfined, it's OK, relax!" Overall a relaxing experience with delicious food and drinks. Kid and dog friendly as well!
They have a small wood fired oven outside. The pizza was delicious and perfectly crispy. It is a very thin crust pizza though, but I don't mind that. They had live music when we went on a Friday night and the ambiance was super cute. It was pretty packed. They also have beer on tap and the beer was also good! Service was good as the food came out relatively quickly, though you have to order the food yourself at the counter. Overall, a nice place to hang with friends with a cute atmosphere :) Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5
