About this business

What used to be a garage in the 20's is now a casual American restaurant famous for its live Jazz & late night meals. Out-of-towners & locals alike dive into the a la carte dinners & Prix Fixe Brunches while watching the show. In the summer, the outdoor cafe is an airy spot for micro-brewed beers, raw bar selections & a wide range of fresh seafood & grilled steaks. In the winter, tables around the stone fireplace warm crowds.

Nothing special – Really nothing special. The atmosphere and the food were not not thrilling at all and service was good but who cares if everything else is really REALLY bad! I might give this place a second chance but I doubt I can change my mind. Below average and pricey. no thank you.

Highly Recommended – After finding Garage on Citysearch, I was really excited to take my husband who loves live music, especially jazz. We found Garage much to our liking. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive, the drinks were good and the food was as well. We enjoyed the live music and would recommend Garage to all of our friends.

very disappointing – I had heard good things about this restaurant, as much as for the jazz there as anything. When an out-of-town friend was going to be in for the weekend to celebrate her birthday, we decided to come here. I wish we had gone elsewhere. To be fair, the music was good. The maitre d' was courteous. That's where my good review concludes. Our table waiter was absolutely void of decent manners and attentive service. After delivering our drinks, when we said we hadn't decided about our order yet, he took the menu... read more

Mediocre Food, High Prices and Too Loud for Comfort – The service was good, but the food was all around mediocre and very overpriced. The live jazz was nice, but it was impossible to have a conversation, so most of dinner was spent waiting for breaks between songs. The dozen oysters we ordered were gritty and small. Very touristy, and prices to match. Would not go back except maybe for drinks.

Only for the jazz – The garage is cool inside but much smaller than it looks online, your def up under each other. Food is not fabulous or special by any means, very bland, very macaroni grill. Music is the best thing going here, however if you do actually enjoy talking to your date you'll have to wait till you leave. The service from the door was not on point, from an absent unpolished hostess to waiting on the waitress. On a whole worth stopping in for a drink and the live jazz.

friendly and accommodating staff, great music – I went there last night with 14 friends for my birthday and had a great time. I appreciate that they, unlike other many restaurants in the area, did not require that we order off some pricey prix fixe menu. They seated us promptly even though a few guests were still on their way. We sat right behind the band so it was a bit loud for conversation at times. One benefit though is that my friend was able to tell them it was my birthday. They gave me a shout out and performed a jazz... read more

Great food, Poor wine list, Great music, Too loud – The food was excellent. I had the stuffed chicken breast. My friend had a seafood dish. The wine list was disappointing. The music was great, although it was too loud to hold a decent conversation.

Perfection in every way! – I chose Garage for my 50th birthday dinner with friends. The room is lovely with stone fireplace, terraced seating areas, nostalgic decor, soft lighting and fantastic free live jazz. Janice Friedman Trio was on stage during our dinner and performed outstanding jazz. The staff was friendly and attentive, serving us in plenty of time to leave for theatre at 8. The menu is full of mouth-watering fare. I will put this in my top 5 for revisits whenever in New York City.
