   Pleasant but unremarkable, less memorable than on previous occasions

   I visited the Garrison for the first time with a friend for lunch and had a great experience. Exceptional and friendly service, a lovely buzzy atmosphere and excellent food. Between us we had foccacia, the queen scallop, beef short rib and the flat iron steak with hispi cabbage and charred tenderstem broccoli - all of which was delicious. For dessert we shared the cheesecake a and banoffee pie washed down with a glass of tawny port. I'd highly recommend the Garrison. It is a great place to go for lunch on a Friday in the heart of Bermondsey Street. I'll definitely go again.

   Although the ambiance was somewhat challenged by the noise from roadworks outside, obviously beyond the restaurant's control, our meals were excellent and represented tremendous value. The venison was beautifully tender and the steak tartare a pleasant contrast. The booths are a little compact for four but for our party of three - one of whom is almost seven feet tall - it was good intimate space. Will certainly visit again.

   Excellent food (all had well-portioned Sunday roasts and puddings) and atmosphere. Service friendly, if a little slow at the start. The manager audibly advised staff to give us drinks and menus after we'd been waiting some minutes already. We felt a little pressured by the staff to hurry with time, even though we had booked a 7:15pm seating on a Sunday evening.

We apologise for the slight delay in getting started and understand how frustrating that can be. We also appreciate your note about feeling a little rushed, and we'll work on improving that balance in the future to ensure a more relaxed experience. We hope to welcome you back soon for another great meal! Kind regards, The Garrison Team
