   What a pleasant surprise! Brunch and live music! The host opened the door for us and warmly welcomed us in, wishing us a happy new year. The waitress was so nice and helpful. She offered us great recommendations. The other servers were helpful as well. The whole place was still decorated for Christmas and looked amazing. The food was yummy (the donut holes and short rib hash were amazing; the kale and egg flatbread was ok) and a great value. The musician (singer, guitar player and played the harmonica) was fantastic! We’re excited to come back and try the breakfast poutine!

   Positives: All dishes were perfectly prepared,, distinctively flavored and portioned well. This is reason enough to go here. Negatives: Music was too loud. Service was adequate.

   Garrison House was an interesting experience. I'll start by the saying we went for a Friday Night Dinner, and it was rainy outside and late, and so the place was busy but not overpacked. They have a really nice ambience, seemed like a lot of folks were there for drinks, not as many diners. We ordered the nachos and margherita pizza. The Nachos were good, nothing spectacular but good bar nachos and snacks between drinks. The pizza was not good at all. It appeared to be a frozen pizza (although this is only a guess), but was very chewy and not as cooked. For $23, I had hoped for much better quality. We spoke with the manager who kindly cancelled the item from our bill. Overall, Garrison would be a good place to go for drinks and apps, but I would not recommend the entrees so far. perhaps other items on the menu are better!

   Good food, very food service, reasonably priced, neighborhood-like vibe. Very noisy the night we were there, crowded as expected for a Saturday night. We were glad we had reservations.

    Food was wonderful! We ate for brunch and everything was delicous! Unfortunately theyw were understaffed. They only had two watiers for the whole place and one was also in training. Overall will be a great place for brunch once they work out the waiting staff situation.

    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.

    Such a great place for a Birthday!! The Concierge of the Mandarin Oriental told me this was one of his favorites and it did not disappoint. We came in with a party of 8 and they took great care of us like we were family.

    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.
