    Garre has great food and very good service. We indicated on our reservation that it was to celebrate our anniversary so it was disappointing that a nice table was not ready for us. We settled for a table next to the service door rather than wait. The place was busy. Next time we'll try to make it for an early lunch.

    We ate outdoors, enjoying the atmosphere of this magnificent setting. The food was excellent, again, and we enjoyed a wonderful lunch. The service staff was very efficient, but not overbearing. We will be back again SOON. We highly recommend Garre Cafe. ,

    Always enjoy the ambiance and food is fine. Not outstanding but good. Service has been terrible last several times including today. Long delay to get served. Waitress dropped bottle of wine and glasses at table and said she’d be back. After ten minutes and complaining to buss boy she arrived stating she had to get her wine opener from coworker. Stated she was the only one with one. Its a winery and only one opener available to servers??? People waving her down and standing to get her attention. Buss boy never came back to refill water. Had to ask for that. Just don’t go if you are limited on time. Food didn’t have all items notes on menu.

    It was good overall but the server seemed to be new or not trained well. She didn’t know what an aperol spritz was and we kept repeating it several times until my aunt asked her to ask someone in the kitchen or the bartender was. Also my ravioli was missing the artichoke hearts on top. Not a big deal but I noticed the quality of the presentation went down a little.
