The unique food and decor of antique garage is an excellent choice for me and friends during the day or at night. They serve authentic Mediterranean cuisine with great selections of wine from South America and Europa. Also they have a live jazz band during the week and on Sunday brunch. One of the most important thing is that i like about the restaurant is the friendliest staff and good choice of music..this restaurant is a MUST if you are around mercer & grand.

I had heard so many good things about this place and it absolutely lived up to it's reputation. I was there with a group of friends on a Friday night and had a GREAT time. The atmosphere and the music was fantastic. Friendly servers and the amazing mediterranean dishes made this place an instant favorite in our short list of "go to" spots... Comfortable atmosphere, yet chic and great food! Must try spicy shrimp, vegetarian pizette and almost all the other small plates on the menu..delicious!!!

A friend hosted a birthday party here last night and a RAT ran under our table. Gross! Waitstaff tried to play it off and pretend like nothing was wrong. So, something tells me this isn't the first time they've had this problem. Vomit. This place isn't anywhere I or you or anyone else would ever, ever want to eat again.

Had lunch at this restaurant recently because we were going to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - NYC across the street. Place looked inviting, and there was no wait. My daughters seemed to enjoy their salads, but I was disappointed with my pasta. The sauce was very bland, and the price was rather high. The waiter was very attentive, and the atmosphere was fine. Just work on that sauce, because we would like to come back !.

Great decor and horrible service. I had the Menemen for brunch ($12) which had the size of a side dish! I thought that it was a joke.Also the waiters took for ever to get our order . It's not worth the price. I think that none of the four friends that went will go back again. It's a shame as the location is great and the decoration is very nice, but there are enough good restaurants in NYC to spend your money in a mediocre one.

This is the kind of restaurant you look for in soho - very cute, off a side street, great lighting, fresh and delicious food. and all that would make it perfect if it wasn't for the terrible service. I have been here twice and both times loved the food and did not understand what the attitude was about. maybe third time's the charm...

Walked in last Friday at ~7pm w/ a friend. The place was nearly empty save for 4 couples, yet the blond hostess announced she could seat us only if we'd be done in an hour! Turning this down, she seated us at the huge center table - but we had to be done in 1 1/2 hrs! I thought this was ridiculous, as there were scathes of empty tables! We asked if we could sit upstairs, & our hostess went to ask another girl, who promptly seated us at a small table on the ground floor w/o any hassle! Aside from this, service was quite good, our waiter was friendly and helpful, giving us plenty of time to order. He recommended a special appetizer of hot b'sterma (delicious) & we shared the spicy shrimp app. (yummy) & the organic grilled chicken entree (mediocre). Prices were higher then on the menu listed on this site - entree was $24 (1 of the cheapest) and apps were about $18 each! My passion fruit mojito, however, was simply divine!! I would recommend this place for drinks and an app. - but skip the lackluster entrees and go elsewhere if ur really hungry.

A group of friends and I hit NY last weekend to celebrate my birthday....I wanted to find something a little different but still very NY...Well Antique Garage fitted the bill....The staff couldn't have been more helpful and attentive and even though the secret request my sister had put in for a birthday cake didn't come off, the staff rallied round with a replacement.... The food was plentiful and well priced and the atmosphere very chilled....Checkout the toilet - very homely....!!!! Would definately recommend this to fellow Londoners looking for something chic...
