    We both said that our Garlic's dinner was one of the best dinners out that we've had in a very long time and we go out often!!!! The food was amazing, everything came out as it should at the perfect time & temp., and our waitress Sabriba was a dream, 5 stars for her for sure! We started with this delicious bottle of Pinot Noir from California called Schug which paired nicely with our starter & dinners! "Apple Cider Mussels" with local Apple Cider and white wine broth, fresh cut Crunican Orchards’ honeycrisp apples, lardons and shaved fennel" ...so delicious 😋 When that was done, she brought us a Garlic’s Caesar Salad c/w Roasted garlic dressing, Metzger’s bacon, Grana Padano, croutons & lemon...it was so good! For our entrees, I had the Hot Smoked Garlic Fettuccine c/w Chicken breast, smoked garlic, spicy chili oil, roasted red pepper, sweet corn, baby spinach, Grana Padano And my valentine had the Cermaq Salmonc/w Garlic and honey glazed salmon fillet, etc... Both entrees were delicious!!!! So friggin yummy 😋

    Service was friendly and impeccable dealing with alternative choices due to a garlic allergy . The space was very chilly (I ate dinner with my coat on) because of winter temps outside. Our server was top notch. Beef brisket was rubbery in texture. Appetizer (beets, cheese, jam, walnuts) and dessert (peanut butter and chocolate torte) were exceptionally good, soup (kale, chick peas) was bland but good. All this being said, we had a lovely time and I would go back again to try some other dishes.
