Garvan's

“Garvans is quaint, cozy, and very inviting. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The star of the evening was the chef Kevin. We started with the street corn carrots. Amazing! Who knew carrots could taste so good. The short ribs were fall off the bone delicious and the Fra Diavlo special was on point and did not fall short on the seafood. We saved room for dessert and I’m glad we did. The chocolate cake was to die for and the banana Bonoffee was delicious. This place is a must try. You will not be disappointed.”

“Lovely location. Historic inn with many different cozy dining areas, each with own personality. Full bar too. I love the traditional Irish menu offerings and New American cuisine plates. Bonus - dog-friendly outdoor seating area.”

“So much to love about this place. The building itself is so charming! The first floor reflects the Hugenots, while the second floor is more colonial. There is a busy pub on the first floor, but I prefer sitting in one of the smaller, quieter rooms upstairs. The street corn carrots are without question the best carrots I have ever eaten. Honestly, I never knew carrots could taste so good. The leek and potato soup, scallops, and short ribs are also recommended. Service was excellent!”

“My family enjoyed a very nice meal at this historic, delicious and comfortable establishment. Our host Connor was welcoming, personable and professional. Our server was outstanding and made great recommendations. I truly enjoyed the Breakfast Manhattan and Guinness. In addition the potato leak soup, sourdough bread, Sheppard's Pie and Guinness Chocolate Pie were all tremendously delicious. It is a special place that is definitely worth checking out if you are in town. I would definitely return”

“The service was great. I didn't realize that there is upstairs seating and downstairs seating. I liked the vibes. The place is bigger than it looks. I have been here before but it's been years and it's not how I remember it. I remember the menu being small and the food being delicious. I was a bit disappointed with my food. I got the chicken mushrooms penne, it said it came with three types of mushrooms in a black pepper cream sauce. I only saw/tasted portobello mushrooms, and the sauce was not peppery at all. For the price I paid it was disappointing. The shrimp scampi was fine but nothing special and felt like it was missing something that I could not quite figure out. The burreta did not have that gooeyness you expect to get. Overall it was fine, but probably won't be going back for a while. It felt overly expensive for what we got.”
