Jun 23, 2026Two thumbs up! If you enjoy garlic, this is the place for you. The place gets pretty packed on weekends. It's so worth it.

Jun 19, 2026Very good food. Not overwhelming, although they do have a sense of humor around garlic as a whole. Excellent service, but I will say comparing to the SF location, the food was not up to the same standard. Very good, but not excellent like SF. In the evening there is pay valet parking.

Jun 19, 2026This all garlic restaurant is the best! I first came here with my friends, and I fell in love with this place. Soon after I came to celbrate my boyfriend's birthday, and since then we come periodically to celebrate some special day. My personal favorite is the 40clover chicken..hmmm..with those delicious mashed potatoes! But there are plenty of other options that can be found very delicious, especially if you are a garlic lover. Don't forget the garlic ice cream to end the meal! Surprisingly good! It's not so busy if you come before 5 pm, but after 5:00 pm reservations are very recommended. There is also valet parking available after 5:00 pm. Overall a very nice place and good food!

Jun 18, 2026Although I prefer my garlic in moderation, this is a really fun restuarant to go with a group. The decor is really wonderful, especially the colorful mural walls and the bathroom. I won't go into too much detail so you can see for yourself. The food is very tasty too, just be prepared for your skin to smell a bit for a few days. :)
