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.
