    The food was absolutely impeccable, I could not fault the food at all, it was so fresh and bought out at a reasonable time compared the starters, and the wait staff were unreal they were so kinda and friendly and ensured a great experience, I havent been to Garfish for about 4 years now but so glad I chose to come and book for my partners birthday, it was his first time and he was absolutely blown away and he had the best first experience
