" After an hour wait, we were finally seated, and let me tell you, it was worth it! The decoration inside is whimsical and inviting. I had the lasagna, and it wasn’t just large, but absolutely packed with layers of flavor. The garlic bread they serve is to die for! Service was a bit slow, but they were very busy. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting The Garlic was a delightful experience! The menu had a variety of options that all looked appetizing. I opted for the Chicken Marsala, and it was cooked to perfection. The portions are generous, providing good value. The server was friendly but seemed overwhelmed during peak hours. Overall, a lovely place! " (*Curated Review*)

" On a recent visit, the food was great but the service left much to be desired. I had incredibly high expectations based on reviews. The bread and garlic was heavenly, but my main course took far too long to arrive. The crowd was large, but I did not expect such a long wait for food. " (*Curated Review*)
