    Great all-around. Amazing food, can't be beat for amazing flavors and spices (my favorite are the Seafood specialties). Also, great Old Fashioned's, you gotta try one. Went with a friend last night, who had never been, and they were similarly impressed.

    The food was outstanding and the ambience was very good. They had quiet music playing in the background. We could listen to the music and talk at the same time.

    Garrido's is wonderful restaurant with rich South American flavors and tastes . They have been very creative in meeting customer needs and accommodations in a very dynamic climate. They have earned our business and loyalty. I would recommend you give them a try and I am certain you will feel the same.

    We were sat immediately upon entering the restaurant. The waiting staff were friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and accommodating. The appetizers and entrees were delicious, hot, so full of flavor. The amount of food for the price was exceptional. The sangria and sparkling wine were fantastic. One of my favorite restaurants.

    Overall a wonderful place. Enjoyed the appetizer and mango margarita. My group had a pleasant experience. Unfortunately my salmon was off - rancid taste in my mouth. Most importantly they took away the plate immediately once I drew attention to it and I was able to order something else. Nice atmosphere, nice decor. Charming and warm.

    The restaurant is cozy and intimate really cute. The service was amazing; our waitress explained everything and answered all our questions and was attentive. If you drink I recommend getting an old fashioned it was superb; One of the best I’ve ever had. As for the food the presentation was very appealing, but it lacked flavor. I was expecting so many different flavors and everything was bland.

    Such a unique and quaint place. If you enjoy authentic South American cuisine this is the place for you. The recommendations from the staff were all winners. We will definitely be back. Try the specialty Venezuelan rum drinks if you get the chance. We were too full to try dessert or a boozy milkshake but table nearby did and it looked so delicious and also worthy of a special trip for just dessert. I had been excited to try this place and I’m glad we did.

    The interior is very small. There is a fine line between cozy and cramped. Especially with a large party taking up several tables. As is common right now, they are understaffed. There was one server on the floor and one bartender. The bartender was running drinks and taking orders for drink refills as well. It was less than ideal as far as service is concerned. Both the server and the bartender were skilled and gracious. They were just being overworked. The food was quite good. I got the seared salmon with broccoli and the tomato & cucumber salad. Every bite was delicious. It was very well prepared and extremely fresh. I selected this restaurant as a recommendation from Open Table. I needed a last minute reservation for a birthday. There wasn’t much open in the area for the time that I needed so, I just took the recommendation. I did not take the time to really study the menu. I was surprised to discover that a large portion of the menu is sandwiches. I’d go back for a casual night out. Probably not for a celebration.
