    It was a fun place to go. The food was good, not great. We had to ask for bread also. Our server was really nice and helpful.

    Long wait to order, even though we had reservations. Cold scrambled eggs for brunch. Asked for salt and pepper that never arrived. Bacon not crisp as ordered. This used to be our “go to” spot. We’ll give it one more chance. If it’s not a lot better we will (sadly) cross it off our list.

    Busy buzzy Saturday at the Garage. We shared the Sottoterra, a warm salad with the infamous pizza oven foccacia followed by the Short Rib Pappardelle special and ended with the panna cotta desert (two to be exact, but who's counting). It was beyond outstanding.

    We had a party of six. Some had never been. 3 different salads, 2 different pastas, bread and 2 pizzas were ordered all were delicious.

    Service was very friendly…BUT….. There were 4 of us for breakfast. It took probably 30 minutes for 3 of the breakfast orders to come out. Then we awkwardly ate while my niece waited another 10 minutes for her breakfast to come out because she insisted that we not wait. The restaurant was not busy, so I do think it was an issue of the kitchen being backed up. This has happened before at breakfast there which is why I am posting this now. Everyone gets one bad day. But the second one gets a review. I hope they can fix this as the owners and staff are super friendly.
