Other than a few nice restaurants, there isnt much to see here. There arent many open stores. The Harley apparel store is fun. I immediately started to dislike the Gardenwalk upon pulling into the parking structure. Im from the suburb, I dont like paid parking. Its one of the reasons that I avoid L.A. The positive, there was plenty of parking. That being said, Gardenwalk looked like a ghost town. Very few people were shopping. One big reason is probably because there are a few shops to see. My wife walked into Lush for some supplies and I visited the Harley store. This Harley store is primarly for apparel and gift items. We Harley owners just have to let everyone know we ride...lol! Next we took the escalator to the second level. Nothing much to see other than a restaurant; Fire and Ice and Mission Place Games. Man, this shopping area was dead. Things should pick up once House of Blues opens. Other than going to a few good restaurants, there isnt much to do here.

Lots to do here. The Anaheim Gardenwalk Mall is very well maintained and quite artfully done. There are many attractive venues, perhaps the most popular is The House of Blues which had a very long line the day/evening that I visited. The House of Blues also offers a very trendy bar/restaurant with additional live entertainment (besides the event shows). There are several other name restaurants which attract a lot of visitors and locals. My favorite is Bubba Gump but I havent tried all of the restaurants in the Gardenwalk as of this writing. You may choose from PF Changs, Roys Hawaiian, McCormick & Schmidts or even Tommy Rockets (there are more restaurants than I mention for sure). Also, the stores are trendy, popular and fun. The Gardenwalk also has a VR Game Store which seemed very popular when I visited. Parking structure nearby... The Gardenwalk is part of Anaheims best!

The only saving grace here for me are the restaurants! Roys, McCormick & Schmick, Bubba Gumps & Fire & Ice are amongst my favorites (my reviews for each on Yelp)! The businesses here (other than the restaurants mentioned) need to promote themselves more & do something to attract customers. No one seems to care about getting our business. The customer service was lacking. It was sad. The parking is the worst! Even with validation, we still have to pay any where from $6 to $12 for under 3hrs dining @ a restaurant here. Most other shopping areas either have free parking or offer the 1st 3hrs free plus addtl 2hrs free with validation. They should adopt that here @ the Garden Walk.

McCormick & Schmidts was truly a treat. You owe it to yourself to go there at least once in your life. Its a bit pricey, but given the level of service and the selection and quality of the good, its definitely worth it. Sit out on the patio just before dusk, and experience the transition into the nightlife. Its great people-watching and you can enjoy something as simple as Fish and Chips, or go for a hot or cold Crab Stack appetizer and an exotic Seafood Plate entree. The parking structure is close behind the restaurants and you can work of the calories with a pleasant stroll through the Garden Walk. Enjoy!

Met some others there for movie and out to eat which was fine. BUT, even with a validated ticket (turns out you can get validation from only one place AND its for 3 hours !) We all had to pay $ 9 apiece parking for being there a tad over 5 hours. That is, I agree with another reviewer, a RIPOFF ! Most places in OC are free to park. I think this is definitely a negative for a place trying to catch on (seems pretty empty most times Ive been there for a movie, apparently under the 3 hour limit because I never had to pay parking before. I will not make the mistake of staying any longer than 3 hours !!!

My first time here, went on a Saturday! So deserted! Half if not most stores were closed. The few open ones seemed like niche and boutique stores, interesting but not very useful (small magic/dining show venue with creepy decor...store selling Superhero paraphernalia and unofficial dc/marvel tee w depressing atmosphere :( ). But mb thats what theyre shooting for? Didnt notice any major brand stores which would help draw more customers. Overall disappointing. Like other reviews mentioned, the restaurants out front were the only things bustling with people.

This place sucks, maybe because I am not 20 something as another Yelper suggested... This "Garden Walk" is a concrete jungle with no trees or plants to be found. Most of the storefronts are walled over vacant spaces. There was nobody there either... I am reviewing the mall itself. I guess if I were interested in an Imax theater I would be excited, but I am not. I also have never been impressed with McCormicks. I was excited about a 24 Hour fitness being there, but would never go based on the rest of this mall, and the parking issues.

California Pizza Kitchen has the best food at The GardenWalk. Sure Cheesecake Factory is larger, has a larger menu, and has cheesecake, but the CPK food is always fresh and delicious. The cocktails are also AMAZING! Try the Blueberry Ginger Smash - yummmmmm! CPK also has a great selection of local craft beers. The staff is friendly and quick. You can even grab a quick bite and drink at the bar counter before headed to the new House of Blues that just moved here. Check it out! 2 hour free parking with validation.

We went to the garden walk for a yelp community event and was honestly surprised at how many shops were closed and offices for lease it seems a shell of what it was supposed to be I believe that the foot traffic doesnt travel deep enough into the Gardenwalk to take advantage of these businesses and therefore the business to start on the exterior places like Bubba Gumps get plenty of foot traffic and thrive but like Isaid most foot traffic doesnt travel deeper than just the exterior sidewalk

I loved the Billy Bees.... great place for the kids... Parking is ridiculous... Played with the kids at Billy Bees, went to lunch at fire and ice and then went back to play at Billy Bees and even with validation, ended up paying 15 dollars for parking.... I plan on taking my kids to Billy Bees again, nothing else much there other than movie theater and some restaurants but Its ridiculous when you play more for parking than actually the stuff that you went there for....

WARNING - DO NOT GO HERE The parkade "Manager" is a joke. We waited in line to get out for 10 minutes - after waiting for 10 minutes for someone to let us back out of our spot. We were 3 minutes over our alotted 2 hours after we finally arrived at the booth. They wanted $1 A MINUTE FOR PARKING!! They made us wait for a manager after we refused to pay and we were held hostage until we finally agreed to GET RIPPED OFF

Escape from the line-ups and the heat! Refresh your senses with a trip to this hidden gem in the heart of the resort district. Dinner at P.F Changs is a wonderful un-rushed experience. Superior gluten free menu, dont forget to have your parking validated. Stroll through the open-air mall and pick up a few souvenirs for the folks back home. Well definetly be back to The Anaheim Garden Walk.
