      OK, the food and service were wonderful. We shared an order of onion straws and then ordered the dynamite shrimp and bruschetta. The onion straws were crispy but not oily. There were 13 shrimp and the coating was delicious and the drizzle was excellent. The bruschetta was delicious as well.

      Why two stars then? The absolutely stupid surcharge. This is greedflation. The owners of a nice restaurant have no excuse for hiding a charge for using a credit card. Shame on them. We're not returning.

      Had dinner there the other night. Terrible service. We arrived at 5:30 but did not eat until almost 7:00. Out waitress was very good but it's obvious Garrett's needs more help. Too bad. I doubt I will ever go there again.

      Service: 5 stars ALL THE WAY
      Food: 3 stars
      Averaged: 4 stars

      The service was absolutely amazing. Wonderful staff! Great experience. Thorough understanding of the menu.

      Food? Meh. Reminded me of cafeteria food, if I'm being honest. But, the other three people in my party enjoyed their meals. It's just not something I'd want to return for again. Got the pulled pork on brioche but subbed the brioche for GF corn tortillas. The pork was... okay. Their definition of habanero, I imagine as a person who considers Taco Bell's fire sauce as spicy. (I could probably down a jar of ghost peppers from here and live to tell about it.)

      Will I be back? Only if someone else has invited me. It won't be a place I'd ever choose to go on my own accord. Party of four, $170 (before tip). That included: 2 jack n cokes, 1 martini, 2 draft deers, 1 wine, 4 entrees ($19-22), 2 desserts.

      Garrett's has a nice menu with a good variety of options. The food is always delicious. Many of the servers are long-term and are excellent. It's a nice atmosphere inside and in summer there is a lovely outdoor patio.

      Always good in the past. I assume regular chef is out. Both the chicken and fish entrees were way over salted, while the vegetable was under cooked. There was also something wrong with the water - it was undrinkable!?! Waitess apologized and said she filled glasses from wrong faucet. Replacement was okay, but unfortunately she later refilled our glases from the bad tap. If the food was cooked in that water it could explain the off taste of the food. I would recommend staying away for awhile until the kitchen issues are fixed.

      Went for a causal lunch with a customer and it was good. Nothing exceptional about the meal but good. Ordered a turkey thin bread sandwich- said it had cranberries on it- didn't really taste it to much. A lot of Mayo which may have overpowered the sandwich. Customer ordered Ruben egg rolls- those were pretty good. Didn't reheat well and a flaky outside crust- but pretty good. All n all, I'm not going to go out of my way to go here but I'd eat again.
