    Great service, nice ambiance and a pretty big menu. Their salads aren’t great (soggy) but the rest was really good.

    Always a winner. Garre is a great place for business lunches. The outside patio has great views over acres of vineyards when the weather is nice. The inside bistro also is nicely appointed with many 2-6 person tables with good spacing so you don't feel cramped. Their food is always a cut above with the blackened salmon sandwich and cajun chicken sandwich a couple of my favorites. They also have nice flatbreads from salmon to pepperoni, a spicy jambalaya, chicken marsala, linguini carbonara, and a variety of good salads including wine country with candied pecans and mixed greens in a vinaigrette or spinach with apples and bacon. I haven't really had anything that wasn't very good there but my favorite is the blackened salmon sandwich with their side of tomato bisque so highly suggest you try it! Although no wine on our business lunch, I have had tastings other times and they are quite good. My wife loves their crisp champagne which accents their food very nicely.

    We have been going to Garre for work lunch for several years now. It’s conveniently located to the two national laboratories. The food is always great!
