  9. Nice Brunch spot to bring your parents
    This is somewhere I would bring my parents for brunch. A bit classy, and a bit pricey. Right off the subway though, so it's very convenient to get there. Food was ok, if you sit inside it gets kind of loud so don't sit right in front of the jazz stage.

  10. Gross...
    For a place that doesn't allow customers to make substitutions (they gave my friend that line when she asked for no cheese in her omelette-which came with it anyway) they took the liberty of substituting tomatoes with carrots in my farmer's omelette -ewww. The Jazz was too loud and the overall experience was just lacking.

  11. There is always free parking at the Garage!
    I was just introduced to the Garage by a date five years older than me and who knows the city like the back of her hand. She recommended it but of course I paid. A real early thirtysomething right out of 'S in the City' and her idea of Brunch includes Cosmos. I was amazed at how relaxing and inviting the atmosphere was and the service was top notch. If you are looking for a special place for tha...

    I'm reluctant to give such a great review since I'd hate to lose my place at the bar, but I can't resist! This is definitely my favorite after-work spot.

  13. love it
    Simple food. Great service. I went on my birthday, I would not have chosen it myself but it was a nice surprise. Meat (is murder) eating friends went for the steaks which they told me were succulent and the service excellent. I stuck with the cocktails. Shame about thje Jazz. Try it.

  14. Expensive Dining Experience
    The food here is amazing, I guess that comes as no surprise. If you have ever complained about how expensive a restaurant is then don't bother going. Yes it is very expensive, but it is a dining experience that is totally worthwhile. Above and beyond the food, the service is amazing. Invisible and ever present at the same time.I would recommend to anyone.

  15. great place
    A great place to people watch, while waiting between courses... the service was lagging, but to their end they were extremely busy. By far the show stopper of the evening was the filet mignon. Tender, juicy, and done perfectly at medium rare. The salmon was good, but a little over cooked, which surprised me, as the filet was so well done. Definitely worth checking out, but I think I'd be mo...

  16. Garage= Good time
    I find Garage to be a good place for those living in the neighborhood, like myself, or to take friends from out of town. They have free jazz music, very good food and drinks and the service is always well above average. Great location too. Love the Garage!

  17. Nothing special
    Really nothing special. The atmosphere and the food were not not thrilling at all and service was good but who cares if everything else is really REALLY bad! I might give this place a second chance but I doubt I can change my mind. Below average and pricey. no thank you.

  18. Highly Recommended
    After finding Garage on Citysearch, I was really excited to take my husband who loves live music, especially jazz. We found Garage much to our liking. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive, the drinks were good and the food was as well. We enjoyed the live music and would recommend Garage to all of our friends.

  19. great for sunday brunch!
    Garage is a great place to go for brunch. Their pre fixe menu is reasonably priced and not only comes with a lt of food but a good drink ( bloody mary, screwdriver, bellini) The decor is cute and interesting. There is a live Jazz band on the weekends which is a lot of fun. The staff were quick and attentive. I definitely reccommend!

  20. very disappointing
    I had heard good things about this restaurant, as much as for the jazz there as anything. When an out-of-town friend was going to be in for the weekend to celebrate her birthday, we decided to come here. I wish we had gone elsewhere. To be fair, the music was good. The maitre d' was courteous. That's where my good review concludes. Our table waiter was absolutely void of decent manners ...

  21. Mediocre Food, High Prices and Too Loud for Comfort
    The service was good, but the food was all around mediocre and very overpriced. The live jazz was nice, but it was impossible to have a conversation, so most of dinner was spent waiting for breaks between songs. The dozen oysters we ordered were gritty and small. Very touristy, and prices to match. Would not go back except maybe for drinks.

  22. Only for the jazz
    The garage is cool inside but much smaller than it looks online, your def up under each other. Food is not fabulous or special by any means, very bland, very macaroni grill. Music is the best thing going here, however if you do actually enjoy talking to your date you'll have to wait till you leave. The service from the door was not on point, from an absent unpolished hostess to waiting on the wa...

    Sunday brunch they have fantastic live jazz and usually a jazz singer as well. I loved the food - modern american - really good coconut shrimp. The vibe is really fun at the bar. It can get a little cramped if its too busy but I had a lot of fun dining here.

  25. friendly and accommodating staff, great music
    I went there last night with 14 friends for my birthday and had a great time. I appreciate that they, unlike other many restaurants in the area, did not require that we order off some pricey prix fixe menu. They seated us promptly even though a few guests were still on their way. We sat right behind the band so it was a bit loud for conversation at times. One benefit though is that my friend ...

    I chose Garage for my 50th birthday dinner with friends. The room is lovely with stone fireplace, terraced seating areas, nostalgic decor, soft lighting and fantastic free live jazz.

  28. Good food, good music, good service
    We had a great time at Garage! Garage is located in a nice part of the city in Greenwich Village. We went to listen to some music and have some drinks but ended up eating dinner there. Both meals were very good(a pasta dish and tuna). The ambiance is really nice and the service was excellent. Come to think of it, there was no cover for the music either. Gotta love that!

    My boyfriend and I ate here for dinner on Saturday night. While the food and jazz were excellent, the service we received from the hostess and the overall management was sorely lacking. Although we had a 7:30pm reservation, we had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated; we were given a pager that flashes and vibrates when your table is ready - making us feel more like we were at IHOP than in the...

    My brothers and I went to the Garage for lunch. It's a very comfortable place with good energy and an interesting atmosphere. We had the calamari, chicken wrap, the mussels, and grilled char burger. Everything was excellent particularly the mussels, the sauce was so good. The price wasn't expensive either.

    This place claims to have more live jazz than anywhere else in the world... I believe it cause every time I walk in the door there is someone on stage. But last night took the cake! This guy, Joey Morant, played like a million different instruments and sang like Louis Armstrong. And then, when the crowd started getting excited, he pulls out two trumpets and plays a duet - by himself! A guy playin...

    I went to Garage with my wife last night and we had an INCREDIBLE dinner. She had their grouper special with toasted couscous and I had an item off their regualr menu - the Garage Bouillabaisse. For those of you that don't know, bouillabaisse is essentially fish soup, but not at Garage...

    We had dinner with friends here. Service was so-so, we felt the food was OK but given the price it was nothing to marvel about. The space itself has a nice vibe but the patrons are many a So-Ho hipster. The place turns into more of a bar than restaurant as it gets later into the evening.

    I walked by this place and was drawn in by the jazz so made reservations for my bf's bday a couple weeks later. I was definitely pleased with everything from the ambience to the food. The jazz made the night fun and relaxed and the food was delicious without being pretentious. I def recommend the oysters and the melted brie salad. Going there for the jazz was worth it in itself!

    We thought we were going just for drinks and to hear some nice jazz but were pleasantly surprised to see an extensive menu ranging from salads to steaks to pasta & seafood. The music was very good and the staff was very attentive, without being bothersome. Oh yeah there was no cover charge and the ambiance was excellent.

    My two girlfriends and I went to Garage on Friday night for a late night drink around 2:00am. The place wasn't full, and most tables were empty.

The manager decided he was too good for us to come himself, and send the host ba...

    The food was lovely, the wait staff helpful, the jazz a tad too loud, but otherwise nice place.

  51. Avoid during happy hour
    I will not comment on the food or jazz but do not stop in here for drinks after work! This is where songs from LITE FM go to die! Carpenters in NYC in 2006? It didn't end there, it was followed by Chicago, Celine Dion, Elton John; the suicide inducing setlist was unrelenting. My very astute friend suggested that the B must've falled off their name at some point.

    For many years I have visited Garage during my annual visit from London UK, I have always dined at least once at Garage during my stay and intend to continue the practice! My next visit will be in April 2005. Interestingly, I was recommended Garage by an English colleague and I noticed that a major UK Sunday Newspaper also recommended the establishment in Jan 2005! The food quality, ambian...

  79. Big Band Monday Night
    I love going on Monday nights to listen to the big band. You can't beat value for money listening to 10 to 15 pro musicians for the price of a few beers - especially as there aren't so many 'big bands' around these days.

  80. fun people watching spot
    The outdoor seating on 7th Ave offered a great area to watch the west village crowd stroll by. Good service, food and live jazz, too.

  82. The Perfect Date Spot
    I recently went on a date and we dined at Garage. In my mind, this is the perfect date spot. It's cozy and very intimate without being too romantically suggestive. The live jazz band was great and offered a subtle distraction from the lulls in the conversation. Our waiter was very knowledgable of the menu and made food suggestions based on our tastes (and he was right on). Garage is an incredibl...

  83. This place has declined...
    Went to this place for the first time about 3 years ago.. went back recently and I must say the food has declined since then. The chicken is overcooked and dry, the coconut shrimp was way overcooked as well. I'd give this place another chance if the cook doesn't fall asleep while cooking my food....The bar is awesome though.

  84. Ambience and Taste!
    The food here is great and the service is greater. Not to mention the ambience. I liked the overall setting A LOT and it was only improved by the fact that our waiter was pleasant and attentive even though we only ordered entrees (no drinks, no appetizers, no coffee). AWESOME

  85. the Garage has it all...
    Marianne is the best bartender I have ever met. She makes the best Margaritas this side of Tiajuana - you will not be disappointed! And the live jazz is excellent...

  87. Great Food & Setting -- Great Date Spot
    We sat outside and the ambience was perfect -- there was music playing inside that we could hear, but it didn't outdue our own conversation. The food was very good all around -- the asian spring rolls are a great appetizer. The filet was very good as was the seafood scampi. Steer away from the parmesan fries (they use powdered parmesan), their house wine selections, and mixed drinks (there's n...

  88. Great Atmosphere and Food!
    I go to this place everytime I'm in NYC. The food is great. Try the Philly steak sandwich with filet mignon. Or the coconut shrimp. And the salad is great! Best place to sit is upstairs near the fireplace but with a view of the Jazz bands on weekends. Great place to sit outside and drink cocktails and people watch during the summer.

  89. best brunch
    This is one great place for brunch! The vanilla bean soaked french toast is the best. The weekends offer great live jazz! Also a fun place for people watching!

  90. Totally overrated!
    I've heard many good things about the brunch here so my friend and I decided to go. We got a seat outside--the overall atmosphere is nice...and so is the mimosa...but that's where it ends! Our waiter took our drink orders and never came back! About a half hour later another server came out and walked around to ask people if they had ordered...I got her attention and we ordered the omlettes--i ask...
