The new look for the Garden Grove Restaurant is a small scale version of Central Park bringing the outdoors to the inside of the rotunda, land marked by a beautiful 25 foot oak tree growing from the center platform sparkling with twinkle lights and paper lanterns.



The carpet is a meandering pebbled path surrounded by a grassy green that connects the points of entry onto a raised platform. The buffet area is crowned by wooden pergolas accented by colorful pendant lights that create a visual centerpiece to the food display. The center cooking station is the jewel piece surrounded by a beautiful glass mosaic painting filled with bright flowers and a lit sign above.



The area is enveloped with rich earth tones in yellows, plums, and greens, with accents in rust colors. Antique bronze metals and rich brown granite tops add to the park ambiance. The tables and chairs are made from wood in a walnut color to add warmth to the space while the banquettes look like modern flower gardens with the bright patterns. Baskets of bougainvillea also hang from the upper ring above the columns while azalea bushes accent the reception area, adding to the garden feel.
