Make a reservation!!! This place is ahhhmazing! A must try in the area. You can always get there early or even just go out to the river front bar area for awesome views, live music, drinks, and a small menu. Garlic Mike was grillin some oysters when we got there – Nathan was our server and he was the bomb dot comb. The food was incredible. All good things to say

Absolutely love this place. We ate there two nights in a row this week and got food to take home. Gavin was our waiter and I’m not sure I’ve ever had better service. We will definitely be back next time we are in Gunnison.

This is a great event location. The proximity to the river directly behind it make for an extremely beautiful location at dusk. We enjoyed a very delicious Italian style meal with excellent flavors. We had the fettuccine and steak and the garlic chicken. Wow! Amazing! Even the warmed bread brought out was great with a tiny bit of butter. Our waiter was a character for sure and took excellent care of our larger party. Nothing but great things to say about this visit!

Such a disappointment. This restaurant is in a cool building with an amazing riverside setting. But the management and service need a lot of work.

I’ve been dining at Garlic Mike’s for over 25 years! It’s a top-notch, family-friendly restaurant. The food is great! Try the Gnocchi Ala Romano. The wait staff members are very attentive.

Garlic Mike’s is great place for solid Italian food. We wen’t late after a day of exploring the Gunnison area – they were packed but the hostess found us a spot at the bar (which is small) but the food was good – not fantastic but significantly above average. We did have a funky Italian rum punch like drink that was good but too sweet for dinner – I wish I had gotten a glass of wine – I would have been much happier but that is my fault not Garlic Mikes. Good. Solid. Food.

The appetizer calamari was excellent as was the salad however the prime rib was tough and stringy.

Great food, good wine selection. Enjoyed the dinner on the beautiful covered patio. But what’s with the server with the surly, impatient attitude. I don’t appreciate spending that amount of money and feeling rushed and even resented by the wait staff.

There’s a sitting area with lots of chairs right on the bank of the river with a little shack that serves drinks. Go ahead and get yourself a drink of choice and the garlic fries appetizer and enjoy them at the water’s edge before the main meal, you won’t regret it.
