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.

Street parking was easy. We arrived a little ahead of our reservation time and were seated immediately. Mike was our waiter he was friendly. The beverage service was a little awkward. There were two 1/2 litter plastic bottles of water on the table and Mike did not pour our first glass of water. We ordered a bottle of the house Malbec it was good. Again, however, Mike did just set the bottle on the table and did not even offer a tasting pour. Also brought a chiller not sure why. We poured it ourselves. Same with the second bottle. The entrees were all excellent and plentiful. The had three appetizers on the menu and the one we wanted bread sticks they were out of. We ordered dessert and the portions were generous. Definitely would go again.

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 at Garridos is top notch; we have been there several times, and everything we have had is delicious. Highly recommend. The staff is kind and patient despite being short staffed. If you are there for the experience and plan to be there for a while, I promise it is worth it. So good!

Delicious food, we tried plantain nachos the guacamole was excellent. The ceviche is fresh and the lime taste is just right, for main dish I had the seafood stew that comes with rice, I enjoyed the spice balance not much of ot, but still you can feel in with each bite.At the end we had churros, it was good but they can do better with the chocolate dip.The prices are moderate, service is fast, place is clean and smells good
