Garrido's Bistro - Grosse Pointe Woods

Our server was friendly. We were supposed to get the crispy rice bottom in our Paella and it did not get served that way. Also the savory plantains did not have any flavor. Paella (other than the crispy rice) was good. Mussels were cooked good.

I had a weekday lunch with two friends. The staff was welcoming, explaining the food which was very helpful, and showing us a photo of one of their extreme desserts (which was highly vertical and looked like enough to feed 4 . We each had an arepa, which was a tasty and satisfying sandwich for lunch. (Mine was the 1-2-3 arepa with chorizo, cheese and Venezuelan guacamole. Prices are very reasonable. We will visit here again!

My sister and I took my niece out as a congratulatory dinner on her new engagement. It was all our first times there, and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious, and our server and bartender were very attentive!

We decided to try Garrido’s for a taste of something different. It was a fantastic experience! Kayla (our server) was awesome and helped a great deal in choosing food based on dietary restrictions. The food was fresh tasting and the flavors were superb! A couple of us had Avila, the chicken was plentiful! One had a seafood dish and it looked fresh (she said it was excellent) and another had a kale dish. We were all full, had leftovers, and all in all, a terrific experience. Will definitely visit again. Dietary restrictions: I am dairy allergic, they accommodated my allergy.

The food is great. Very well prepared. We enjoyed our meals in the quaint, quiet dining room. Service was a bit slow which may have been because only one server was available. However, the owner/chef was out on the floor ensuring diners were enjoying themselves. The food and food presentation are the stars at this fun, east side diner.
