I finally made it! And it was worth the wait! We had the ravioli bolognese, filet mignon, rice balls and the bocce ball and pasta. Everything was amazing! The arincini was the best I’ve ever had. My brother said he could cut his fillet with a spoon. The restaurant was so cozy and charming. Every seating area is unique and fun. The staff was efficient and attentive. Shout out to Cody. The bread with the roasted garlic oil was addictive. We bought some cannolis to take home and they were melt in your mouth yummy. The restaurant opens at 4pm and you need to be there early to get seated in the first wave. I can’t wait to go back.

My friend and I drove up from Melbourne just to indulge in the wonderful land of The Garlic! We got there during peak dinner time, but put our name on the list and grabbed a glass of wine from the outside bar while we waited. We surprisingly got seated 30 minutes before our expected wait time. Our server was Carl and I will be requesting him everytime I go because of how amazing he was. From his great attitude and confidence to his ability to guide us on our foodie journey for the evening, we loved having him as our server. My friend never tried Bone Marrow so when I saw it as an option as a weekly special app, I knew we had to do it. They serve two generous portions and we feasted. Carl explained that the Lamb was from a special vendor in New Zealand, so that automatically got added to our dinner. We also got the Spuntitori Italiano, but princess style (marinara and Alfredo mixed) as Carl suggested since I get heartburn from eating a big bowl of straight marinara. We finished off with a sweet treat, as two lady besties do, and again trusted Carl which did not disappoint. We shared the carrot cake and paired it with a glass of Frangelico, what a combo! Overall the decor of the garlic, the quality food, the price range, and the service made our experience here 10/10. We will definitely be coming back soon!

First of all.. it’s worth the wait. Grab yourself a sangria or beer at the bar outside and catch up with the people in your group. The specials were written on a lasagna pasta which was clever. We loved the lamb appetizer and the artickoke appetizer was a top 3 we’ve had to date (according to my nephew). The Caesar salad was brought to the table family style and the dressing was just the right ratio. The Bocce Ball meatball is enough for 3 which worked out because our table of 6 agreed out was the table favorite. The tomahawk pork chop hung off the platter and we shared the Cioppino which had half a lobster (the broth was amazing). The portions were very generous and could be eaten family style.

From the moment we came upon the entrance, to taking a little tour throughout the entire place, to sitting amongst one of the most dazzling atmospheres, and tasting some yummy items on the menu, we very much enjoyed our visit! A suggestion would be, to not have the roasted garlic appetizer be as mushy, then swamped with oil, to better enjoy the taste of the main ingredient of the restaurant. 😉

Had the best dinner last night. Service was great. The atmosphere was so fun and we had a small booth in the blue bar area that was fantastic and there was also live music. The food was amazing as alway. We had the calamari it was crispy and hot. We also got the Bocce Ball and Chicken Parm and both were awesome. Highly recommend especially if you have to wait a bit. Totally with it.

We had the most incredible dining experience at The Garlic in New Smyrna—truly 5 stars across the board! From the moment we walked in, everything felt magical: the atmosphere, the food, the energy… just perfection.
And Cody—WOW. Our server was completely on point from start to finish. Attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel genuinely cared for. He elevated an already amazing night into something truly special.
Every dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully prepared, and clearly made with love. This place isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. The Garlic never disappoints, and this visit reminded us exactly why it holds such a special place in our hearts.

I would put the food at 9/10 the atmosphere ranked top in the world. Dinner here feels like stepping into a living ecosystem. Surrounded by plants, lights, and live music, we felt completely part of the environment — not just seated in it. Fresh bread with aged balsamic, olive oil, and slow-cooked crushed garlic set the tone, and the seafood stew was perfectly balanced and comforting. Simple, soulful, and deeply connected. ✨

Get there before they open and there is a line at 4pm! Great place and our waiter was so attentive. My husband got the 32 oz Ribeye and it was $82 Lol. He did enjoy it, and it was cooked to perfection. The bread was amazing. The Harlots Cheese is a yummy appetizer to get. My chicken fettuccine alfedo was delicious, too. I had a raspberry mojito that was so good. Highly recommend you try!

very cool venue!! prepare to wait as they don’t take reservations- on the plus side, there’s a bar in the parking lot to pass the time quick.
the service was attentive and came by our table to check on us often- bonus points for displaying the specials on a taped up lasagna noodle.
it did rain while we were there causing a lot of tables (and their food) to get rained on and leave. highly suggest securing a table with an actual part of the roof above if rain is forecasted (which is almost always is)
don’t forget to grab a complementary bulb of garlic on the way out! 10/10 would dine again!!!

The Coolest place we’ve ever had dinner! Atmosphere is second to none, no way someone planned this design. Has to be organic and developed into this, as it grew.
Fantastic food! Not one bad choice and possibly the BEST Meatball you ever put in your mouth. Top it all off with a world class waiter, Daniel, who was knowledgeable, informative with a personality that this place deserves! Top Notch! Do not miss, even if you’re in town for one night – GO!
We’ll be back!
