| - My friends and I were looking for a relaxing place for a farewell dinner when someone recommended The Garbardine. I had walked by it a few times but never really noticed it. It has a cozy little entrance and the store is quietly tucked away along the busy Bay Street. The first impression of the restaurant was that it was really casual and comfortable, although the entrance was a bit narrow because of the tables and the bar. We felt comfortable immediately and the server seated us rather quickly (we had made reservations). For a Thursday night, most tables were occupied and it was busy.
Once we were seated, we immediately ordered Mac and cheese with smoked ham, the beef tartar and the sirloin bacon cheeseburger, all to share. The beef tartar arrived first and got us really excited, the taste was just right and the portion was generous. The Mac and cheese was amazing, although it's a bit salty for my taste, when it's shared amongst three people, it was just right. Of the three dishes we ordered, the burger didn't really stand out to me, it was good but nothing that really wow me. But overall, for the price and the quality of the food, this place definitely is worth a revisit. I will be coming back here to try the highly raved chicken pot pie. Definitely a good recommendation for a causal night out with good food and nice restaurant to have good conversations.
