Garrison's Broiler & Tap

Although the ambience, wood-paneled walls, and muted lighting make for pleasant surroundings, one goes to Garrison's for the steaks. Being a steak-loving family, we all indulged in a piece of red meat. Personally, I went for the center New York strip (an 8-ounce was about $12, while an 8-ounce filet mignon was about $22), which was cooked to medium perfection. It's one of the few places I've eaten steak at in America that knows what medium is.

Each steak comes with one side. The sides are so big that it's best to get a range and share; don't forget the sweet-potato mash, which apparently is topped with molasses, and the garlic mashed potatoes. There's a fairly extensive beer and wine list, including, I was delighted to see, Bulgarian beers.

As for dessert, you definitely need to share, as the chocolate mousse which we ordered was the size of a small mountain.

For seafood lovers, don't despair--there's plenty for you, and I'm sure it's as good as the meat dishes.

Garrisons

You do not need reservations for lunch, but the place can get pretty crowded in the evenings and they will often not seat you if you are waiting for a member of your party to arrive unless you are going to start ordering appetizers. Garrisons is located in the Vinings Jubilee of shops near SOHO. The center of the restaurant is a bar, and I love the wonderful selection of martinis that are available (we can not all be like James Bond and want our drinks shaken, not stirred every time we have one. The bartender will whip you up ANY kind of vodka or gin martini concoction you can think of!). Patrons can choose to sit inside or out to dine on any of the exquisite entrees. The pork medalions are wonderful, but I often get a vegetarian medley that has portebello mushrooms and grilled vegetables wonderfully presented in a bed of mashed potatoes. It is very filling and seems healthy though it tastes so good that it has to be bad for you. When I worked in an office near the Vinings area, I often entertained clients at Garrisons because of the upscale atsmosphere coupled with food choices that are always good but not too daring. When the Shrimp Bisque is one of the soups being served, order it. It is normally quite wonderful.
