    This particular visit was very good. We had attentive service and the price point was very ok. The week before this particular experience was not so good. There was only one other couple in the dining room and they were trying to get the waiter’s attention and we had not even been greeted by him. It was close to 10 minutes before our drink order was taken and we didn’t find out that one menu item wasn’t available. Why not tell us that when we were seated? I ordered my salad with dressing on the side. Not a difficult request - dressing mixed in. Not to mention that dinner price point is considerably higher than lunch for the same item. The icing on this cake is we were asked if we wanted bread, we said yes. We didn’t know the same bread that is served with lunch for free costs dollars at dinner.

    We’ve been to Garre Cafe several times and the food and service is consistently very good! Our go-to menu items usually include the spinach and artichoke dip, the fried olives, tri-tip sandwich, grilled cheese with pesto, cajun chicken sandwich, pizzas for the kids… always delicious. The sangrias are made from scratch. The sauvignon blanc was ordered “not too sweet” and came back a home run but forgot to ask which label. We enjoyed the sunshine on the patio. Recommend!

    The place is pretty and welcoming. The appetizers were all delicious. The main courses, some were very good (carbonara, jambalaya, Nonna's meatballs) and some were a complete miss (flatbread, gnocchi, chicken marsala). But i will go back, we had a great time overall.

    Had another fantastic dinner, consisting of salmon and New York steak. Trevor did a fantastic job as our waiter as he always does. We keep coming back for more and more!

    Garrett Cafe was a fun and just excellent lunch experience. Livermore is a wine tasting gem, and Garre and our midday lunch was just delicious. My wife had the Chicken Marsala and I had the Seafood Pasta. Both dishes were well seasoned, flavorful, and tasty. The espresso martini was a bit sweet, but they did not skimp on the alcohol. The red wines by the glass, all of them, are good. I highly recommend Garre. We also went to the tasting room, just down from Garrett, and the service from Kristin at the tasting room was excellent. Take the 2 to 3 hours and enjoy Garrett, well worth the time. We will be back.

    This restaurant is one of my "go to restaurants" even though I do not live in Livermore and it is about 1/2 hour commute. It is definitely worth it. They serve quality favorable food and excellent service. I would highly recommend.
