Great for food, jazz and groups – Stumbled upon Garage on a Saturday night while walking through the Village. We were looking for a casual spot with good food, atmosphere and live music.....also able to accomodate a group of 6 without waiting forever. Lo & behold, Garage fit every aspect of what we were looking for. The staff was attentive without being bothersome. The food was served fresh and hot. The music was excellent and the atmosphere was really cool. Also seems like a nice place to hang after work, perhaps next time.

Greenwich Village cafe serves no-cover jazz and American fare until late at night. – In Short What used to be a garage in the '20s is now a casual American restaurant famous for its live free jazz and late night meals. Out-of-towners and locals alike dive into the a la carte dinners and weekend prix fixes while watching the show. In summer, the outdoor cafe is a airy spot for microbrewed beers, raw bar selections, and chargrilled burgers and fries; in winter; tables around the stone fireplace warm crowds.

Overrated Tourist Trap – What a letdown. This place shuttled us in & out like some chain operation. Our food was mysteriously served 4mins after we ordered it.....my wife swears her chicken was reheated, rather than freshly grilled. The jazz was quite good, but didn't make this a romantic setting...there was just too much of a "process" at work by the staff to maximize food receipts in the course of the night. The process was so tight we were on our way 40mins after sitting down.....thankfully. The food is nothing to write h... read more

GREAT FOR DINNER AND JAZZ – This place is wonderful, it's one of my favorite restaurants in New York City. The food is always great, and when they have the live Jazz performers, it's just amazing. They have great bartenders/barmaids. The drinks are always good and the service is wonderful. Honestly this place is great. It has gotten a little more expensive these days, but definitely affordable. So, if you enjoy great Performers in Jazz and you like great food and desserts this is the place! Their Creme Brulee is AMAZING!

Lovely space, great food excellent service. – We walked into Garage and loved the atmosphere immediately. We were greeted by a young lady who was very pleasant and striking. She seated us at a table with a view of the band and the incredible stone fireplace. Our server, Suzette greeted us as soon as we sat down and we had our drinks within 5 minutes. How rare is this on a Saturday night at a busy restaurant. The food is excellent with many dishes to choose from and desserts were yummy but we could have used a few more select... read more

User review by brina7805 – my date and i went in there just for the music and drinks, but would up having an appetizer of coconut shrim and a caeser salad. little expensive for the portions, but still good anyway. drinks were ok, nothing extraordinary about the. ambiance of the place is very nice. but most importantly, the music was fabulous. the live jazz bad was well worth the visit. i'd go back to try dinner, but would go just to sit at the bar and listen to the band. service wasn't that good. either from be shorthanded o... read more

Average – The place was good. Pretty uninspired on the whole as far as food and wine, but a great space and ambience.

Who could ask for anything more? – Comfortable ambience, talented musicians, and enticing food - all combined to make an excellent brunch experience. The place itself has high, wood-beamed ceilings, brick walls, and a pleasant acoustic layout. The trio of jazz musicians showed a feel for the genre while also playing at the right volume level: loud enough to enjoy it, not so loud that diners needed to shout to hear each other. The banquettes & booths on the tiered & upper levels are particularly cozy, though sitting at a tabl... read more
