花園閣餐廳的前身是宮殿酒店的露天中庭。1906年大地震之前，馬車徑直駛進酒店后停靠在這里，客人由此下車，鞋子一塵不染。1909年酒店重建時，在此耗費巨資加蓋玻璃穹頂，高度遠非尋常餐廳可以企及，成就了花園閣餐廳不凡的格局。

The Garden Court restaurant used to be the courtyard of Palace hotel. Before the 1906 San Francisco earthquake， horse-drawn carriages would come into the building and guests were dropped off here to keep the shoes clean. As part of the reconstruction in 1909， millions of dollars were spent to crown the whole area by a stained-glass dome of height no ordinary restaurant would compare， creating an extraordinary space for the Garden Court.

如今的花園閣餐廳長33.5米，寬26米，可容納120人落座。餐廳的兩端排列希臘式大理石廊柱，開闊的玻璃穹頂之上，十?dāng)?shù)盞大型奧地利水晶吊燈懸垂而下。2015年酒店翻新，在花園閣餐廳的前端新設(shè)了酒廊區(qū)域GC Lounge，將現(xiàn)代化的舒適感融入餐廳華麗典雅的氛圍。

Measuring 33.5 m long by 26 m wide， the restaurant could accommodate 120 people. Massive Grecian marble Ionic columns spread on both sides， the room is further enhanced by the finest Austrian crystal chandeliers pouring from spacious glass dome. In a renovation project in 2015， a GC Lounge was created at front end to inject a sense of modern comfort to the restaurant' s original elegance.

花園閣餐廳將傳統(tǒng)和創(chuàng)新的美食相結(jié)合，供應(yīng)精心制作的舊金山特色佳肴。眾所周知，舊金山所產(chǎn)的珍寶蟹已被公認為全球各類螃蟹中味道最鮮，肉質(zhì)最嫩。在花園閣餐廳就可以品嘗到創(chuàng)新的多汁珍寶蟹沙拉，以及西餐經(jīng)典頭盤蟹肉糕。除正餐外，花園閣餐廳也供應(yīng)品類極為豐富的美式早餐，有名的特色下午茶，以及夜間 GC Lounge的雞尾酒。

The Garden Court celebrates its traditions and innovative culinary creations to prepare elaborate local dishes， such as the Dungeness Crab in San Francisco well known for its fresh and tender taste. Not to be missed in Garden Court is the succulent Dungeness crab salad and crab cake. The restaurant also offers rich breakfast， famous signature afternoon tea， and cocktails at night in GC lounge.

花園閣餐廳見證了舊金山這座城市的歷史。1919 年，伍德羅·威爾遜總統(tǒng)于此舉辦過兩場午宴以支持《凡爾賽公約》。1945 年，慶祝聯(lián)合國大會開幕的盛大國宴在此舉行。舊金山歷史上最富創(chuàng)新精神的社會名流，比如托馬斯·愛迪生，亨利··福特，都曾是餐廳的座上賓?；▓@閣餐廳也是眾多美國民眾訂婚、節(jié)日聚會、開派對和慶典的理想之所，穿過花園閣餐廳的金色拱門是很多人共同的美好回憶。

Since its debut in 1909， this famed venue had witnessed the history of the city. In 1919， President Woodrow Wilson hosted two luncheons here in support of the Versailles Treaty， while the banquet celebrating the opening of the United Nations was held here in 1945. The most creative celebrities in history like Tomas Edison and Henry Ford once were guests here and it holds many memories for those who have passed through its gilded archways. Shared stories of engagements， holiday gatherings， fabulous parties， and fond childhood celebrations make The Garden Court a truly magical place.
