   The live performer was not bad, but the sound level made it difficult to carry on a regular conversation at our table in the main dining area. The service was not so great. A couple of requests for drinks and condiments were forgotten. Had to ask for silverware and napkins.

   Accomadating, warm and welcoming host. Establishment is clean, well kept, remodeled, professionally designed. Menu is the perfect size to focus on quality. Staff needs some dress guidelines though, I understand no uniforms but create some guidelines to look a little more ‘kept up’. If you serve steak and frites…. You should make your own fries;)

   Beautiful restaurant, but they insist on having televisions on in both the bar and the dining room. So what could have been an intimate experience felt like a TGIF.

   Overpriced, lousy food. Drinks were expensive and very cheap on the pour. The restaurant was slow, yet it took 5 minutes just to get us seated as no one was watching the front. Service was also slow and the server left the oversized menus on our table the entire time. The menus needed to be cleaned, too. They were dirty and sticky.

   On a Tuesday night there were 2 groups of more than 8 people, and with the pressed metal ceiling, the place vibrated with noise. Not a restaurant experience, much more like a noisy pub. The website sells it as much more of a quiet, foodie experience but I definitely wouldn't call it that. Great location. The food is delicious but pricey.

   We waited 20 minutes for service for our weekend date night. The server finally came, and would not accept my international IDs as valid and serve me, a 30+ year old woman alcohol. Instead, I was suggested a mocktail. The same ID was accepted as valid at a previous time in the social below. With 30 minutes of our evening wasted, my husband and I left to look for another place with better food, ambience and service. There is a reason why at 6:30 pm on a Friday night in a prime Brookline village location, the restaurant was empty. They need to yet figure out how to provide better service to their customers.

    Everything was terrible… From my $12 water-down cocktail, followed by the cold congealed poutine appetizer. The steak entrées came out lukewarm my $29 salmon dish was less than 3 ounces and cut in a “square” shape. I booked this to celebrate a birthday and was extremely disappointed! Even the desert was horrible, the cast-iron skillet cookie consisted of some burnt almost raw brown dough, drowning in caramel syrup– not edible. Not to mention the fact that the waiter never came back to ask how our meals were, didn’t clear the dirty dishes from our table, nor asked to refresh the drinks… Not that I would pay another $12 for what tasted like water down lemonade. They also have the nerve to charge an administrative fee and the prices on the menu are different than the price you were charged on the bill. With so many wonderful restaurants you certainly don’t want to try this one!

    The service was extremely poor. We got our food and drinks after waiting for 45mins even though the place was not that busy. The food came before the drinks and we had to ask for our drinks 4-5 times from different servers before we finally got them. The food was alright. We had ordered the SPANISH STYLE CHORIZO pizza and THE BURGER. The pizza was extremely greasy and the burger was very gooey. The best thing on the table was the side of the fries that came with the burger. We ordered the LIFE ON MARS and DANCING DAYS for drinks. LIFE ON MARS was really good but the crushed pieces of ice made it really irritating to drink. I had to wait for it to melt to start drinking. DANCING DAYS was really bad. I wouldn't recommend that to anyone. I would rather drink a Lemonade. The place has a lot of potential since the ambiance is perfect. I just wish the service and the drinks were better.

    Friendly staff but didn’t come around enough. I ordered veggie soba and it was so spicy my mouth was burning and I couldn’t eat it. Thank goodness I ordered chicken which I could eat and was very favorable. Less spice might be better.

    This is becoming a pretty special neighborhood place. The bar serves great cocktails with knowledgeable bar staff. Great selection of beers with new ones rotating through regularly. Their selection of malty beers is good, but I'd drop Guinness in a heartbeat as it's not really proper beer. I guess some still people drink it. The food is very good if not spectacularly innovative - it's a pub after all. The fact that they have another bar with live music downstairs is a bonus.

    We had a reservation on a Saturday night, and they seated us downstairs right next to the bar. Super fun although not what we were expecting. We had a few rounds of drinks and ordered dinner. Their French fries are so good (we kept going on to the point where the table next to us also ordered fries). Quality food overall. Although adding salmon to a salad was 12+, which was a little pricy. Be prepared to spend money but have an excellent time.

    Glad to get to this new neighborhood place! Lots to try here; really though the level of service is outstanding and the food was very good. Only downside: it was boisterous - not well suited for conversation. It seemed like the staff might be part of what you’re paying for here: I’d be wondering whether the price is worth it, but it was probably the best service from any restaurant all year, reinforced by two other servers stopping by out table and apologizing for the delays (there weren’t any delays).

    Garrison House is a casual place, with friendly staff in bustling Brookline Village. As others have noted, the menu is limited, but the two sandwiches we had were worth going back for. The fried chicken sandwich was fluffy and crispy and the burger really stood out - not just because of the excellent french onion smear they put across the top - but it was well made, well cooked and served on a great brioche bun. Garrison House is pricey, especially the apps. Drinks were well made, but on the small side. We'll go back though. We thought it was a cut above many local pub-type places.

    Garrison House offers what may be the best brunch in Brookline. The menu offered plenty of choices, the food was superbly prepared, the service was outstanding and it has a terrific beer and cocktail list. You must order the mini muffins, and the breakfast tacos were also outstanding.
