Ordinary food for extraordinary prices, tater tots, a “specialty” were $35. Not that special.

The Porterhouse was cooked to perfection over post oak wood
The sour dough bread w/ avocado butter & chive oil is a must !

My wife and I came from California. Initially we thought we would miss our opportunity to dine at Garrison because our flight was delayed. Garrison was very accommodating and was able to move our reservation so we still could enjoy our Valentine’s Day dinner. Food was delicious, service was great and the ambiance was relaxing. Would highly recommend.

Amazing meal, again! Definitely planning to return again in the future. The lamb was divine, and those tater tots are an out of body experience.

Our dinner at Garrison was nothing short from magical. I describe it as culinary artistry with the delicate and brilliant use of smoke. Starting with the oysters, every bit was an exciting journey into the chef's creative brilliance. The tater-tots with black truffles should not be missed. The cocktails were also equally impressive...the old fashioned and dirty martini was elegantly presented. I can't wait for our next dinner here.
