At the very end of the menu I don’t think that was very nice of the Garlic to be talking about their teeth if a tooth breaks it’s not their responsibility it could be because of decaying that was very rude of the garlic to say.

Absolutely amazing food and drink! Usually a wait to get in. Mostly covered outdoor seating so for northerners like is it's quite hot but was still very enjoyable! Definitely would recommend the Seafood Italiano!

Very interesting restaurant... Advant guard decorating scheme. Great food. Lots of people waiting to enter at opening time, but quickly seated.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Is carry-out available for those who love the food but would prefer not to dine in public @ 100% occupancy during the pandemic?

Doug Henson | Sep 12, 2021
Lauren Weathers | Sep 12, 2021

Unfortunately they do not. I think this is so their kitchen doesn't become overloaded with many additional orders. They already have such a huge number of guests to serve every night in a reasonable amount of time.

Yes. Not 100% sure they have gluten free pastas (check the menu) but there are many other meat/seafood dishes you can choose from. People we were with the last time had shrimp scampi and a steak. If you're a vegan, well, there's the salad....
