Although we don't serve food, we are within easy walking distance of several restaurants and we encourage you to take a stroll around the beautiful Baker District before or after your visit.

Ozark, MO Okay,…read morereally really good Buffet... I'm not typically a buffet guy but would definitely do this again... Everything (except the Cinnamon rolls were great). Note to the culinary team, the C-rolls are dry, something to expect at the Courtyard Marriott free continental breakfast - not at your place... upgrade or 86 this item. Service was exceptional... Then of course the views and grounds were amazing... would definitely recco this place to anyone going to Springfield or Ozark.

We went to The Garrison for my birthday dinner. My husband enjoys going to The Mill for…read morelunch/dinner all the time. So when I told him that there's another restaurant beneath The Mill, he was so excited to try it out. The entrance to the restaurant is quite interesting with a dark tunnel leading in to the main sitting area. Our host led us to our table promptly. We chose to sit inside. The ambiance is nice with low lights, heavy leather chairs, and dark wood tables. There's an outside dining area as well that includes views of the river and the grounds. Our server, Chris, was attentive and friendly. He brought our starters out in no time. The seared Foie Gras with blue berry compote was amazing! The tang of the compote went really well with the silky bite of the foie gras on a crispy toast point. The Black Garlic fries were perfectly crispy, well seasoned, and delicious. It's a large serving that lasted through our main course. My husband enjoyed his pot roast. He remarked that it was quite filling despite the portion being on the smaller side. I ordered the Lobster Risotto. It was perfectly cooked with a seared scallop and tender lobster bits on top. I enjoyed every warm, creamy, buttery bite with relish. We finished off with a beautiful Persimmon Crème Brûlée. It had a lovely silky smooth custard and perfectly brûléed crust. I didn't taste any persimmon notes, but it didn't matter. We were both quite pleased with the dessert. The Garrison is an upscale and classy, but inviting, establishment. You will feel comfortable and enjoy a pretty top notch meal. I look forward to another lovely evening at The Garrison soon.

My sister and I dined outside which reminded me of a cafe on the street in Paris. We both ordered the salmon salad. It did take some time for our order to arrive but it was well worth it.

Everyone we came into contact with was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely LOVE this place. Will definitely be coming back and recommending to anyone and everyone!…read moreThe service was great, all the staff were so kind. We got our food quick, but not too quick so you know they're making everything fresh. The food was incredible! We got the cornbread muffins to start.... WOW! So so good. I got the Caesar salad with salmon and my husband got the other salad with steak. Both were equally as delicious. The dessert... we got the s'mores brownie. Genuinely the best thing I've ever tasted. It was amazing, and everyone should get it. The vibes, views, everything about this place is awesome.

Our group of 11 were seated quickly but our server, who was friendly but seemed like she had to cover too many tables. Not sure what the intention was when they designed the "store." Seemed like a lot of items you'd find in Branson or Cracker Barrel. Sorry, just my opinion. We'll be back but more likely for special occasions. Would like to try the Garrison.

There was an old guy singing old karaoke country songs which added to the fun/weird atmosphere. Upstairs they have a small arcade that while cool, had about half the machines were broken. The service was really poor. Our waitress didn't just seem like it was her first job it seemed like it was the first time out of her house. We had been sitting for 10 minutes while she walked by 5 times before she even acknowledged us to say she'd be with us soon. She was confused when my wife ordered a Malbec, couldn't provide a single bit of information about the drink special, and didn't understand when I asked for a Peroni. You know, the standard Italian pilsner. One of the 8 beers ON THE MENU. The food is just ok. It was fine. It's close to Olive Garden. You're not gonna find granma's 100 year recipe here, standard spaghetti and meatballs which did their job well. We got the triperfecta the eggplant parm and the chicken parm and while they did not come out hot, everything tasted fine. The big draw here is the ambiance. The owner has a gold mine if they took some time to train wait staff and added some passion in the kitchen. I will also add that at some point in our meal someone started tossing warm rolls to patrons and that was a lot of fun.

I found it to be bland and lacking the variety of pasta options that I've come to expect from Italian restaurants. Compared to other local Italian restaurants we enjoy, the menu felt limited and the flavors were not particularly memorable. As a first-time visitor, I also found the restaurant a bit confusing when we arrived. We were immediately asked whether we wanted to attend a show rather than being directed to seating or given an explanation of how the restaurant operates. It seemed like there was an assumption that guests already understood the concept. A brief welcome and explanation for newcomers would have been helpful. While others may enjoy the experience, the food simply wasn't for me, and I would likely choose a different restaurant next time.
