Our Story
Rooted in Tradition, Served with Heart
How It All Began
The Garden Mediterranean Restaurant & Café opened at 122 E Boone St in Santa Maria with the vision of sharing authentic Mediterranean flavors. Rooted in family traditions, the restaurant was built on the belief that fresh ingredients and simple, wholesome recipes create the best meals. What began as a dream has grown into a welcoming space where the community can gather, enjoy delicious food, and feel at home.
