We had a great experience! They have unique great starters including the crab hush puppies and the tempura buffalo cauliflower. Additionally, they also had great drink options. Dinner entree were also very good and came out quickly and exactly how we ordered them. Our server was very attentive and always checked in on us.

The Garrison is a Pineville gem! Elevated dining, creative and delicious dishes, and craft cocktails that impress every time. The atmosphere is unbeatable—set in a beautifully restored historic building with a modern industrial vibe. Perfect spot for a fun date night or a special evening out.

I really liked this place! We had our two year old, and it was restaurant week - not exactly a low stress situation. The staff were super accommodating and made us all feel welcome. The wine list was good, we split a bottle. We ordered the price fixe menu. Everything was delicious! Toasted ravioli was great. I preferred the chicken, but my wife preferred the short rib. We both got a desert with our 3 course menu, but it was my son’s birthday so he also got a free brownie Sunday. All of the deserts were good, but the brownie was super rich and delicious. If you like chocolate, that’s the move!

Amazing espresso martini! Definitely had a different twist with the Amaro but nonetheless very pleased. The friendly staff, atmosphere and attention to detail goes unnoticed and will definitely be back!

We went here for a date night and it was delightful. service was great, live music was good (but a bit loud for me personally). The food was delicious. My favorite was the Burrata salad and fried green tomatoes. But we also tried the fried ravioli, pulled pork egg rolls, scallops and butternut squash risotto, and my husband got the cheer wine short rib. We will definitely be back. The manager came to our table and asked how things were going, service was prompt, and we enjoyed our experience!

The atmosphere, food and service were excellent. This was my first experience coming to this establishment and I was not disappointed. I will definitely be back and would recommend it others. Shout to Hayden who was an amazingly detailed and friendly server.

A quaint restaurant in Pineville with great food and amazing drinks. We kicked things off with a Perfect Gentleman, a Untitled Art NA beer and the baked raviolis. The raviolis were piping hot right out of the oven and very tasty. The Pimento Cheese BLT is a must! It's melt in your mouth buttery sourdough and fried pickles were fantastic! The Soccer Mom salad was light and flavorful. We'll definitely hit Garrison for a second round before we leave!

We were there exactly two years ago to celebrate my father-in-law's 70th birthday. The food was just fine back then, but we decided to give it another try, and I’m so glad we randomly chose Garrison tonight! I had the greatest Burrata Salad with blackened chicken, my father-in-law had the Short Ribs, and my mother-in-law enjoyed the Lobster Louis Salad. All of them to die for, no joke. We didn’t have time to take pictures because the food was unbelievably good, but I made sure to capture at least the dessert. Although we don’t usually order desserts, the food was so impressive that we felt we had to try one. The key lime pie was magnificent, but the brownie was just okay. We highly recommend this spot!
