Editorial Review for Antique Garage – by Eric Grossman

The Scene
Located on a relatively quiet stretch of Mercer Street, this distinctive, atmospheric restaurant takes many a passer-by by surprise. Patrons enter to the side of a huge garage door that opens up during summertime (sit by the front to enjoy the sights, smells and sounds of Soho). Formerly an auto garage, the bi-level restaurant doubles as an antiques showroom, allowing diners the opportunity to walk away with a full stomach--and an armoire. Accented black-clad waiters add to the hipness quotient, as does an eclectic, international mix of background music.

The Food

Considering the Garage's unique atmosphere, it's merely a bonus that the menu features affordable interpretations of Mediterranean favorites. Most diners stick to hot (shredded chicken breast in garlic and walnut sauce) and cold (briny tapenade, made with Greek olives, capers and anchovies) meze, served in handsome vintage dishes.

It is nice when they are able to open the "garage door" for an open air feel. However, on a brutally hot day like yesterday when I was hoping to have good food in the comfort of an airconditioned space, it seemed a bit ridiculous to have the door open, letting all the cold air escape. And the poor waiters with their long sleeves and ties must have been miserable in that heat. Next time it is this hot, I hope they think of comfort for customers and wait staff rather than an opening to the outside heat.
