    Pecan French Toast
    Kristin R.

    Party of 6 : We were greeted & seated immediately upon entering on a busy Sunday early afternoon. After that we waited about 15-20 minutes before our waitress visited our table. She took both our beverage & food order at the same time. Food began arriving at the table about 15 minutes later. You could see everything was made for us with fresh ingredients-- hot & delicious! Although the waitress was a bit difficult to understand as she spoke quietly with the noise in the restaurant, everything we ordered came out correctly! We would definitely visit again if we were in the neighborhood!

    Little Friday Brunch! Yes please!
    Amy W.

    We frequently order carry out from the Garfield Cafe to our office for lunch and really enjoy the food. Today though, we needed to have a conversation outside of the office 's thin walls. Brunch is my favorite so when I heard they have mimosas I was definitely excited! The cafe is cute inside and clean. The service was great, and we enjoyed our brunch. Of note though. They do not accept American Express. It was a bit of a conundrum because my company card is American Express. No biggie I just used a personal card, but just an FYI before you go.

    Oatmeal (Protein Breakfast) and Side of Whip Cream and Powder Sugar (Strawberry Waffles)

    Realistically, I would give this a 3.5. My first time here with my mom and we were starving while trying to find a brunch place. The inside is very nice and spacious in which we were able to choose where we sat. Our server was very nice and helpful. I ordered the Protein breakfast which included 2 eggs, 4 pieces of turkey bacon, and oatmeal. My mom ordered the Bikini breakfast with egg whites, turkey bacon, and a side of fruit. Our waitress offered me brown sugar and milk for oatmeal which I appreciated because it made it taste better. We shared the strawberry waffles which wasn't warm so it didn't taste freshly made but it still tasted yummy. I'm not much of a turkey bacon person but it wasn't bad but my mom thought it was a little salty. Overall, a decent brunch place with many food options and the target consumers seemed to be more older people/families. That is to say the food presentation lacks aesthetic compared to other brunch places but not a complaint.

    We have been coming to this venue for decades; this used to be a health food restaurant called Friar Tucks, where it was conveniently located next to a Weight Watcher meeting place. With all the competition in the area who can blame the owner for flipping this place to have a new modern décor and added incentive of offering alcohol. The wine and cocktail prices are excellent choices with fair prices. The inside is inviting with an option to sit at either a table or a booth. The new paint and decorations are easy on the eye and offer a relaxing vibe. There are a lot of choices on the menu, much of the menu remains from it's previous offerings (before renovations). The soups are rock-star delicious. Mom had the Chicken Pot Pie which was dry but she did have a side of gravy to perk it up. I had Fish and chips; the fish was soggy and so/so, the fries were crispy and hot. The silverware was nice and sturdy...not as common as one might think so I appreciated it. The prices are a bit high but not unreasonable given the inflation we have all had to endure the past few years. Overall, a great meeting place, good food, very nice spirits offering and relaxing vibe.

    3.5 would be more accurate. We need to implore yelp to include half stars. This must be a fairly new spot. It's between 17 and 18 mile on Garfield road. No signage on the actual building yet that I could see. The place is very modern and looks updated and very clean. The food was just ok to me. I've been to enough breakfast spots now to be able to distinguish the difference between an ok to a great omelette. I ordered the Mediterranean, which comes with feta cheese, onions, spinach and tomatoes. And hash browns, of course. Nothing stood out to me though. There was no seasoning on anything inside. All those veggies were bland, unfortunately. The hash browns were nice and crispy and the pancakes/sausage that my daughter got were pretty good. So a 3.5 would've been appropriate. Still, always worth checking out to formulate your own opinion.

    Spinach & feta omelette with tomato slices
    Ashley L.

    We recently stopped at The Garfield Cafe for breakfast for the first time. It won't be our last! Service was friendly and quick. My omelette was perfect! I don't like heavy omelettes and this feta and spinach one was light and yummy! My husband enjoyed his breakfast as well. Portions were large and the restaurant was clean.

    California Omelette; tomato, onion, avocado, swiss cheese, ham and onion. I covered the hashbrowns w/ Ketchup! D'oh! Side of sad bacon.
    Adam S.

    First, they did a really nice job on the inside. Looks very clean and modern without feeling stiff or uninviting. Service was fantastic. Our coffee was keep hot during our entire time here and our server was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was good as well. The California Omelette had a nice amount of melted swiss cheese and a ton of avocado in the middle. I expected to have one or two small slices of avocado on top, but this really exceeded my expectations. The rest of the filling/toppings were abundant as well! The hashbrowns were pretty standard, but cooked to a crisp, which is how I like them! The only real downsides were the bread and bacon. The "rye" bread for toast was very plain... Seemed more like a standard white bread as there was no rye character at all and it was very dry. See my photo; the bacon was very sad :( Very thin and very crispy. Didn't feel like quality meat and it was $5 for those few strips. I'm glad to pay up for good quality bacon, but this was underwhelming for a side... but I bet it'd be good on a burger! Overall, I'd say this is a nice breakfast spot, and we do want to come back for lunch or dinner during the week. The Old Time Classics part of the menu is calling to me!

Everything tasted super fresh and the menu leans more "snacky" in the best possible way -- perfect little plates that are clearly meant to pair with wine. We ordered a few things for the table and it felt like the kind of place where you just keep ordering one more thing because everything sounds good. Nothing heavy, just really well done bites that let the wine shine. Speaking of wine, the selection is awesome. It's not the usual predictable restaurant list. There are some really interesting bottles and styles on there, which makes it fun if you actually enjoy trying different wines instead of just defaulting to the same thing every time. Service was great too. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming, and you can tell the owners are really hands-on and working hard to make the place special. That always makes a difference. And the ambiance... chef's kiss. Moody lighting, cozy, stylish but not pretentious. Just good vibes all around. It's the kind of spot you want to linger at with friends and a second bottle of wine. Already planning my next visit :)

The only thing I'd change is the egg -- if it had been left a little runnier, it would've taken the burger from good to absolutely awesome. My wife had the Madtown Grilled Cheese and her immediate reaction was, "Oh my gosh, this is good." Safe to say, it was a hit. The fries that came with our meals were perfectly seasoned -- crispy, flavorful, and hard to stop eating. We also shared the cheese curds, which came in squares topped with green onion, and they were absolutely to die for. Easily a standout item and something we'd order again without hesitation. They also have an extensive beer selection along with a solid variety of mocktails, so there's something for everyone. Service was prompt and attentive, and we had no complaints there. Overall, a great spot with tasty food and a fun atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

The side salad was huge and their balsamic might be the best dressing I've ever had. The wrap was extremely fresh and stuffed with toppings. The ratios and ingredients made it a huge wrap i could only eat half. You must get the cosmic fries with the cheese sauce! They were crispy with the perfect amount of salt and pepper. With cheese sauce its a 10/10. The only weird thing was that the tomatoes were not sliced. I ended up taking them off because it was weird eating whole tomatoes in a wrap. Overall this is an amazing place. Im so happy they opened up by where i live! You seriously cant go wrong ordering anything here i was shocked a turkey sandwich is my favorite thing on their menu lol. Also their service is was amazing! Joy was our server and surpassed our expectations.

Well, I'll raise you 1.2 for 5 stars for Host!! Ample street parking on a Wednesday morning in Utica (also public on south side), hubby & I walked past a few businesses and into Host and immediately somehow felt we'd been elevated! The ambience is edgy and elegant giving off an elite vibe matched by the informative attentive staff and everything that was set before us. The barista approached us immediately taking our latte orders from a versatile coffee menu, and our lovely waitress Bailey didn't miss a beat welcoming us, fielding questions and sharing the restaurant's cool concept of "Host"-ing new chefs bimonthly representing freshly-curated menus of palate delights. She later informed us of classes held on 2nd floor for making cocktails and sushi! While enjoying our lovely lattes, we quickly ordered veggie omelets with mushroom and bacon additions that were timely served and clearly plated with care. My husband noticed there were no salt & pepper shakers anywhere, signifying the chef's confidence in his dishes! And indeed our meals needed no help, as we savored each bite of perfectly cooked omelets bursting with flavor complimented by crisp sliced potatoes dressed in a lemon drizzle. Easily the best omelet I've had in my hometown, probably in my state! I made sure to compliment the chef through the open pass-through kitchen on our way out after lingering after our meals not wanting to rush out of this lovely place. What a beautiful start to the day; we can't wait to return with more family!! Thank you for "Host"-ing us!!
