Guests will feel as if they have been transported to the tranquil gardens of Central Park after stepping into the Garden Grove restaurant in the Walt Disney World Swan Resort. The centerpiece of this unique restaurant is a beautiful 25-foot oak tree, adorned with twinkling lights and paper lanterns, a true spectacle for diners.
During the day, families can feast in the park-like atmosphere while bright sunlight from the restaurant’s tall windows illuminates the room. In the evening, the lights are dimmed and the oak tree centerpiece shimmers while guests dine under street lamps in a dreamy nighttime garden setting.
On different evenings, we feature buffet menu themes including Old South, Italian, Fisherman’s Wharf and Backyard Barbecue. On Italian night, guests can enjoy customized pasta dishes and pizzas. For the Backyard Barbecue evening, rotisserie chicken pairs well with fresh grilled pineapple, baked potatoes and other treats. Fisherman’s Wharf is a popular theme with grilled mahi mahi, snow crab legs, New England clam chowder and other fresh offerings. The Old South buffet pops with Louisiana-style blackened chicken, fresh salsa, beer-braised sausage and more.
Experience creative American cuisine at Garden Grove for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. The young at heart will also enjoy Disney character dining at dinner nightly and for breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays.
