Chyenne Piatek

If I could give it no stars, I would. Rude staff.

Akshay Vats

I make it a point a point to eat here whenever I visit Killington. Food here is amazing. Ordered a filet mignon last time . Cooked perfectly.

jeff guo

Terrible service. Matt C was rude. Live hanging wires. Very dangerous.

Greg Gallent

Nice ambiance, good food and service, but on the expensive side and can get ridiculously, uncomfortably crowded.

Jerry Tidd

Two for one tapas and $13 Thursdays or anything on the menu is $13. But hopefully understand resulting in extremely long waits for table service. I had the New York strip steak, which was a little gristlely for my tastes, but a $13 I couldn't complain too much.

rpoonai

The complementary crusty bread and head of roasted garlic is the best!

Royce Moore

The Garlic is definitely in the top 5 restaurants Killington has to offer. They have created something very special - from their decor down to the food - and if you are a garlic lover this just adds to the experience. Friendly and efficient staff. New York Strip is a MUST for meat lovers.

Ryan Loughran

Great food and drinks! Garlic and potato soup is to die for! Better than some top notch Italian restaurants in NY. The baked garlic clove that came with the bread was awesome!

manish ambast

Great food and taste

Xiaolong Li

Food is great. Garlic instead of olive oil or vinegar with bread is unique. Service can be a little slow in high season.

Sandy Andriaccio

Great food

Andrew Simpson

Great extensive menu with delicious food. Great service! Probably one of the best Chicken Parm I have ever had!!

Damian Lanzano

Food, drink, and service were all 5 star!! This spot is fantastic! food is AMAZING, service is outstanding, love the vibe of this place. Can't wait untill December when we are back in VT, see you very soon!!

Zina Kleyman

We come to Garlic each time we visit Killington. The food is very good, very friendly

Thomas Brancato

The food was fantastic and second to none but the bartender Dave was very unpleasant and unprofessional. When we finished our meal I went to go speak to the manager but he scolded me and told me he was BUSY and told me to wait a minute. It's a shame because me and my friend loved the food but the two individuals we dealt with ruined our experience

Eddie Santos

As usual, my favorite place to have some nice cold beer and always great food!

Jingyu Jason Zou

The best restaurant I've been to around ski mountains. Their whole cooked garlic is surprisingly good.

Josh Moses

Food was fantastic. Main course was very delicious and dessert was also very good. Service was very on top of things and a great help all night.

HANKY panky1992

Amazing food. The server killed it. Couldn't of been happier.

Patrick Redmond

Get a seat at the bar, sip on a martini, and order the hell out of the tapas menu. can't go wrong.

Poisoned Pens

Food is great, not too pricey. Well staffed and good vibe. Of course can get packed at the end of a ski day!!!

Cassandra Piontek

Sat in the bar area last evening and had a wonderful experience. Ordered a dirty martini, I'm very particular and usually have to re-order a dirty martini but this was made perfectly. My husband and I ordered from their tapas menu, a variety of small plates to share - while some of the items (tuna tartar) were not the best, the overall sense was that the dishes were tasty and good value. Will be back on next date night!

Lindsay Cimadon

stephanie is the best bartender here! Dave is also awesome! Stephanie was very prompt and she made me the best espresso martini yet! You should definitely try this place. the artichoke dip is to die for!

Yasmine JJ

We had a very nice meal there. Service is good and the restaurant looks awesome at night. The pasta I had was great and the seafood in it tasted fresh. Their fries are excellent!

Maria Carla Dominguez

I really like this place, everytime I go skiing, I return to it. The only reason I am giving them a 4 star instead of 5 is because right at the end, they were trying to hurry us up, as well as the table next to us. When we went out, no one was outside waiting. Maybe they are used to being busy, but we did not think it was "kool"

anthony vanassche

A maze ing... that's what I can say about this place!

Peter Brambani

Loved it, we ate in the bar, service was great and the Osso Bucco was excellent. Very nice wine selection to choose from

Dante Corso

LOVE IT- Got it all. The vibe is what makes it. The bar is killer. The tapas are awesome. The drinks and total atmosphere are exactly what you need up in the mountains A++++

S Dennis

What a fun place with loads of history! On a very busy night they got us in after a short wait. The waiter was super cool and efficient. A smile for everyone. The food was delicious and Italian in the best way imaginable. It was a fun happy place with good food, what more can you ask for?

leeanna erdmann

Great service, great food!

Tim MacLean

Great bar staff. Good place to meet up with friend. Really good food

Victoria Boynton

Average food. Sports bar atmosphere. Great waiters!

Thomas Straffi

Outstanding. Outstanding service, food, and apres ski atmosphere. Beside the flavorful and well portioned entrees, your table is presented with a nice sized crusty baguette, and a whole bulb of roasted garlic that you can squeeze onto your bread and experience what it's all about in life my friends.

Greenbrier Inn

Excellent! Great tapas. Fun bar. Fantastic staff.

Ed Podgorski

Great food and atmosphere. Yummy reasonable specials.

Nikolai Cherenkov

Great restaurant. Tasty food. Very cozy atmosphere and top notch service. Waiter was very attentive. We came here with my family on Thursday night, they were busy but we didn't have to wait for long. Appetizers came out super fast. I love garlic, and I suggest that you try it as well.

Scott Carter

Great food and service!

Perri Gitto

Granted busy town, busy night, yayaya the man "hostes" possibly the owner says go look in the bar its tight but you may find something, cause id prefer to not sit a two top...... really. First off i was excited to go here but ill never even try it after that. so if its just you and your partner id stay away from trying to go get a table at the oh so famous garlic where they cannot sit a two top cause its a inconvience and doesnt put enough money in their pocket. Sad at the least.

Brett Roesler

Stumbled on this place for dinner in the summer time. Food was fantastic: tapas and entree. The service was on-point. Sat in the bar area and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Would go to The Garlic every time I go to Killington.

Keith Clark

Packed on a saturday night had to wait for a table but once seated it was absolutely worth the wait.

Will Pine

Went here on the based off the ratings on here and was not disappointed. The garlic bread was different and delicious, the calamari was crispy and flavorful, but I couldn't decide on meatballs, pork, or sausage so I got all three in the Spuntitori (pic). This was a great place for a great meal after a day on the slopes...as long as you like garlic.

Wally Kluza

Excellent tapas deal

Alan Belsky

Favorite place on the access road. Great atmosphere, food and service. Prices are reasonable for the area. Lamb chops tasty.

Chris Sawicki

I love this place. I cant get enough. The food, drinks, dessert and staff and perfect. I've come here for years and it's perfect.

Sylvain Lamothe

If you like garlic this is the place to go

alec barber

Matt c gave me bad vibes as soon as I walked through the door, the two chicken tender policy for people over 12 is wild. He caught an attitude when my friend ordered one. I also have to mention live wires hanging from the ceiling.

Rahul Agarwal

Good food (for Killington) in a friendly environment with good service. The pastas were very good. Nice collection of local craft beers.

Edward Pok

Super delicious comfort food :) generous portions. good menu

Ayal Bar Am

Great food, amazing staff

Bob Burney

My wife and I enjoy traveling and we have been lucky to eat at many different restaurants in many states and we had the best lamb chops ever here! Hoping I could get the recipe!

Lehia Minter

We were visiting from out of state to see our son's wedding and the chef graciously let us enjoy an excellent meal after hours. We enjoyed the so immensely, thank you again!

M D

Food was very good. We ordered the mushroom pasta and the puttanesca. Service as excellent and the bread divine!!!

Nick Koscinski

Amazing as always. The food is the best as well as the wait staff and bartenders. Stop reading this and just go there! You won't be sorry!

Karl K

Great atmosphere, Nice people, and Wonderful dishes

Phil OBrien

Beautiful place

Mimi Davis

Delicious lamb chops and tapas in general. Bartender makes good mixed drinks and is very accommodating and helpful with tips of what else to check out in the Killington area.

SobolSlam Highlights

We have been coming to the garlic and Killington mountain for the past 10 years. Every winter we have come to the garlic and it is always one of the best spots on the mountain. Our server Ryan was very kind and the service is always great. They are open almost everyday if they year and have the best food. A must eat spot if you are visiting Killington!

Atlas 7

A Killington Klassic! Huge portions, great food and ambiance. A garlic lover's paradise!

FERNANDO MAFRA

Not a welcome experience expected from a restaurant. Very rude male server, from the start to finish! Young tall blonde guy is his description, never said his name, should never be put to work serving people!! First time in this place! Never was miss treated like that in my life in a restaurant!! Date of service 9-23-2019 evening.

Lucas Mattos

This is the best Italian food I've eaten in the USA - great ambience, even better team. There is a good division between the bar and the dinning tables and the team clearly does its best to cook and serve quality food. From the starter bread, to its high grade olives and well prepared (beautiful looking dishes) there was not a single thing I could point as a complaint. I came here during peak of winter seasonality, the place was packed, and still, my experience was the best possible. Manager is a role model for anyone running a restaurant. Congratulations!!

Tom Hilmer

Loved the atmosphere. Great place to decompress. Great martini's and tapas. We will be back to try the restaurant! Can't wait!

Lee Loughery

Great ambiance and service but the entrees were bland.

Evan Lampros

We love the bar tenders there drinks are amazing. The wait staff is always friendly. The food is exceptional with flavors for everyone. Can't say enough!

Pablo Sanz

Reception was deception, not welcoming, busy... Not inviting

Jeff Burke

Just had dinner at the Garlic, food was Spot on and the service was out of this world. Didn't need to ask for a thing, Matt knows what he is doing. Wow , portions were so big, I think everyone at the table had a meal Togo as well!!! And what an all around fun place!!

Bill Kowalski

Ate dinner at the bar and the gentleman serving me was very professional and polite. I felt very welcome here and the chicken parmesan I ordered was excellent!

Henry Cardenas

Great food. Service awesome

Craig Ludlow

Best place to have a Martini and appetizers

Katie Huurman

Very good pasta style Italian food

Lauren Wilder

I could dine on just the bread and roast garlic. With a little olive oil on the bread, it is wonderful. Meeting with friends for Tapas and conversation, I just had garlic parmesan chicken wings and garlicky potato wedges. Both very tasty. Just the right amount of fresh chopped garlic and grated parmesan. Service was great. Very friendly and attentive, remembering preferences on every visit, often going beyond expectations, makes you feel like you are eating at a friend's house. If you are a fan of garlic, you will love this place. The owner and staff will make you feel welcome. Try it, you'll like it.

Dan Roberts

Love sitting at the bar for dinner

Zen Birdie

Kinda over rated. Food came overcooked and charred. Wings were unevenly seasoned, hence some were too salty. Not that great really. Service also so so.

Byron Arnao

Great tapas and staff. I think one of the best in Killington.

Angel Cordero II

Went there last night with my girlfriend and some with Spartan racers. Aroo! Fantastic service and food. Great wine and brew selection. Dessert is divine! Nothing bad to say at all!

cristina daaboul

My daughters favorite restaurant, the garlic soup is sooo good, and the bread.... one of the best restaurants in the are

Timothy Olver

Excellent entrees and big delicious servings. The service was also incredible and attentitive, would give our waiter 5 stars on his own. Desert was a bit lackluster however (seemed boxed and not their own). The bread and garlic appetizer was yummy too, though there was not enough because we were all reaching for it.

Joe Colon

If you like Garlic, this is your spot. They serve you a massive roasted garlic bulb that you cover in oil, smash and eat with bread. Definitely a great place to carb up before mountain fun!

Mike Coates

We showed up with a party of 18 with no reservations on a weekday evening in late July, were accommodated immediately and the wait staff was on-the-ball all night, superb. The food was unanimously excellent.

Ray Jansen

Nice. Not gourmet

Tomasz Stankiewicz

Great place, nice service, large portions

Tom Farrell

Great vibe. Delightfully sarcastic bartenders. Could use a few lighter dishes for those who want something less leaden. Menu is delicious though!

Joel Moraes

Italian restaurant with good choices of wines and plates. Friendly service. Good for a dinner after the slopes.

Michael Parks

The pasta was amazing, good portion size, filled up on bread and that wonderful smashed garlic in butter they give you when you sit. Also, the mussel sauce was so good. Leftover pasta the next day for dinner was not a regret

Peter Ketterer

Always a great meal - it's a New Year's tradition in our family! From the filet to the traditional Italian to the giant meatball, you won't be disappointed!

matt murray

Come hungry... pretty large portions, and lots of bread with garlic...good selection of specially cocktails...waiter was good too, but I unfortunately suck at remembering names.

Jason Silva

Great food and atmosphere

Jonathan Sacks

Go for the tapas at the bar. Say hi to Cat.

Frank Buch

The Garlic is known for it's garlic food. Almost all meals have garlic in them. Friendly server and good service. If I'm in the area I will go there again.

Jasun Burdick

Great food. Good prices.

Andrew George

Food is good but the service was an absolute joke. I’ve never seen such slow horrible service ever before. Would never, ever come back.

Ashley Erlach

OMG, hands down the best Italian food have ever had. Will definitely be coming back. The atmosphere is beautiful, the service was fantastic.

Tom Jackson

Food is pretty good and service was also both times I’ve been here. I strongly believe you should visit a place more than once before forming an opinion. The garlic doesn’t disappoint.

Christina Bonsignore

Would give this 0 stars if I could. The most important impression in restaurant dining is when you first walk in the door. The host who was actually the “boss” was taking down reservations and letting people know about the wait. With me he was short and ignored me after I told him I will let him know in a minute my sister is outside parking. Unresponsive, so then I call my sister and my attention actually is lost and I turn my head to this loud voice and it’s the “boss” pointing his finger and getting loud with the gentleman that was waiting in back of me. I’m not going to recite the conversation but he was embarrassing himself the way he was speaking unprofessionally and rude to the customer he soon lost (& me and my 2 sisters). I would feel guilty if I dined at that restaurant especially seeing the boss treat people badly after me. I didn’t catch his name but as soon as I witnessed him act inappropriately I told him to cross my name off and walked out the door. Wouldn’t know how the food taste at this restaurant but it smells exactly like it’s name x10

Jill Masten Urbain

Fun vibe and eclectic atmosphere. Delicious food and good service. Always nice dining experience. Would recommend.

Stephanie M

Consistently excellent food, drinks, & service! One of my favorites on Killington!

Stef

The tapas are a great deal!! Very friendly staff

Keith Martin

Great food and service. Very creative

Kami Dayton

Delish

Quinn Carroll

Matt c should be fired. Over price and garbage food. I haven’t been more disappoint in years of dining all over New England.

Omna Berick-Aharony

Everything was very tasty and loaded with garlic, which was very nice for us garlic lovers. The entries and oso buku were great. The filet was a bit over cooked yet tasty. The place was loaded with people and the service was efficient.

James Markson

Nice option for cocktails and italian food.

Matt Werner

You can smell the garlic as soon as you walk in, a great way start!! I sat in the bar area and the service was excellent. Roasted garlic is always put on the table to start with and it is amazing. I got the pork lollipops with blueberry jam and goat cheese, what a killer combo!

Kevin Maguire

Love this place! Phenomenal food and service. They put out bread with roasted garlic to spread on it, which is a great change from the typical bread and butter at most resturants. Lots of menu options to choose from to make everyone happy. All 9 of us loved our meals. We were able to get a table for a large group without a reservation without much of a wait, but even if the wait was long the bar is pleasant to hang out in. They were able to modify dishes to accommodate the vegan in our group. The service is great too! Very pleasant, knowledgeable, and helpful.
