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.

This has quickly become one of my new favorite go-to places for lunch. The decor is great. The cucumber lemon flavored water is nice during the summer. The menu is excellent for both lunch and dinner. Everything I've tried so far (and it's been a lot) has been excellent. My favorites so far are the meatballs, the chicken kebab, the perfectly seared tuna, the hummus, and the pasta with feta cheese. It's great to have such a large variety of foods that I like and I want to try more!

They are serving very good wines. They have wines from different regions and a few are offered by the glass. I tried the malbec and was satisfied with it. Service is also very good. Food was tasteful but a little bit pricey. I tried the meatballs.

3.5 starts. Great atmosphere, convenient location, and delicious food. I came here for lunch with potential clients. Everything tasted fantastic and the warm ambiance definitely helped smooth over awkward moments. Minus .5 star for the price. It is good food, but I don't think it's worth the price. Well, I guess anything decent in a pretty setting will cost an arm and a leg in the fidi.
