    Best restaurant in Coolidge Corner! It’s worth going just for the roasted vegetables, but the pizzas are also outstanding and the squid ink pasta is phenomenal ! Oh yeah… the cocktails are super creative and delicious. So lucky to have this restaurant in the neighborhood!

    It was our first time at Garrison house and went for a family dinner. Overall, the food was good. I had the chicken shawarma and the seasoning on the chicken was great (but could have used more bread for eating it all). I had the rye whiskey cockail and thought it was great as well. Other folks had the burger and pizza - and everyone liked their food. My only minor complaint was that the service as very slow and not very attentive. It did not seem like the restaurant was that full, but it could be that they were under-staffed. (But when a lime falls to the floor when you are delivering a Mule, you should bring a new one). The ambiance was also very nice. They also set us a quiet table, as requested. Overall, it was a good experience and I hope to try them again,
