" Great restaurant with a fun vibe! I loved the ambiance and the decor was uniquely themed around garlic. I had a lovely time; however, the portion sizes were a tad smaller than I anticipated for the prices. The food was great, but some dishes lacked the intensity of garlic that the name suggests. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week, my friends and I decided to hit up The Stinking Rose after hearing rave reviews. The garlic bread was incredible, filled with roasted garlic goodness. I ordered the gnocchi, which was well-cooked but a bit salty for my taste. The atmosphere was fun and the staff were friendly, but I could tell they were a little rushed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was initially skeptical about the garlic ice cream but had to give it a try. Surprisingly, I found it delightful! The Stinking Rose definitely has a unique concept that works for garlic lovers. Our server was attentive, making recommendations that hit the mark. Overall, a fun experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful lunch at The Stinking Rose! The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was inviting. I enjoyed their famous seafood fettuccine, and it was delicious! The dessert of garlic ice cream was surprisingly enjoyable too. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
