    My husband and I went for dinner on a Wednesday evening. The service was great and the food equally excellent. The (3) course Price Fixed menu has a good selections of different mains but it is not huge. I would recommend going.

    We wanted a place to celebrate our mother's 84th birthday that was local to her. We chose the perfect place, The Garlic Rose. We were greeted with a smile, we were served with a smile and awesome service by Ben and anyone that came to our table to check on us seemed to truly care if all was to our liking. Food was "Chef's Kiss", plentiful and did not hurt the pocketbook, If you are looking for a comfortable and cozy place to enjoy a superb dinner - try The Garlic Rose. We will be back!!!
