    Tuesday lunchtime was quite busy, but our waitress was attentive. Menu is not extensive, but Food quality was exceptional: steak sandwich $30 and chicken panini $28 might seem expensive, but portions are large and we both brought half home for dinner! Ambiance takes one back to quiet, sedate dining of decades past! Will be back.

    My niece and I had dinner at Garlic's before attending a play at The Grand Theatre. We both had Black Garlic Fettucine, it was so delicious! Our server was wonderful, atmosphere was quiet, we felt like we were the only ones there even though it was quite busy. Looking forward to returning!
