The food was very tasty and the flavors were “sophisticated “ according to our knowledgeable friends. The menu choices were very appealing, and the four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The views from the upper floor cannot be beat.

Dined here for my birthday this week. The citrus salad and the truly incomparable halibut will both haunt our dreams for the year to come. Service by Eric, including allergy accommodations was impeccable! Go!

This place is beautiful they have various settings for you to eat, lookin at the bay, they have a closed sitting area, a beautiful balcony and some sofas and chairs on the beach. We tried this place a day before but couldn't get it without a reservation, so we had drinks a Mai tai and margarita that was delicious, the next day we had lunch an it was not busy at all. I ordered the warm lobster roll that was incredible and my husband ordered a ribeye sandwich, but then the waitress that was super nice told us that there was only one and it was already taken, so he ordered a tuna sandwich he thought was salty. For drinks he had a bloody mary and I had a Bellini both wonderful.

It was great in every aspect. But it was too cold and breezy which made it uncomfortable. Heat lamps would have been an asset. The food was excellent, we had tuna, lobster and halibut all perfectly prepared! We shared the fruit tarts were a delightful ending and the coffee was top notch! Thank you

Such a beautiful lunch date. We got in before the mid-day rush and it was so relaxing by the water. The staff were excellent, helpful, and overall very kind. We enjoyed our entrees and wine as well. Hope to return next summer!

Garde East is a great spot on the water. We ate there a few years ago and looked forward to returning. The service is attentive and the menu is well-rounded. Our only issues was that there is so much salt in the food that is all you taste. I was up several times during the night with extreme thirst-- not pleasant. I had fish and my husband had pasta and both were needlessly over salted. This should be easy to fix! Hope to enjoy Garde East on our next visit to the Vineyard.

We had a fantastic meal- and were blown away by the service. Have been on island for the week and this is the only place that had incredible service. We had cocktails (delicious) a bottle of wine, the halibut crudo, scallops, lobster pasta, the special (I can't remember now if it was a sea bass or striped- but it was yummy) and a beet appetizer. We also tried the amazing- not to missed - chocolate cake (light, raspberry and with chantilly cream). We ate upstairs and had open air to the deck area. Stunning view. It's expensive- but worth it!

The food and service was very good. My disappointment came because in ost my wallet and in tracking my steps I could not reach the restraunt by phone or email although I continued to leave messages on the number listed. No one answered or called back. I even sent an email to an email given on the recording without a response.

Hard to sugar coat it ... The wine service was a complete disaster and ruined our evening. Had a very good dinner a couple months ago and we were excited to bring visiting wine enthusiast friends here. Garde East totally blew it. We won't be back any time soon.

We have dined many times at the restaurant. The food and service were excellent and upbeat. The staff was incredibly helpful with the wine and food menu. One member of our party had food allergies, and the kitchen was impressively accommodating with almost any dish. We thoroughly enjoyed the Gem Salad, Mussels and Lobster Burrata for our appetizers and the Risotto, Arctic Char, Scallops and Halibut for main dishes. Thanks to the staff and chef for accommodating food allergies and the special Happy Birthday wishes.

Wonderful dinner overlooking beautiful Vineyard Haven Harbor. Our server, Ari, helped make it a memorable night. He was friendly and welcoming and had helpful menu suggestions. My husband and I loved the lobster burratta appetizer and the sea scallops were amazing. A truly special experience.

Food was unexceptional. Portions were small, mostly under-seasoned (one dish had some zip), and not very imaginative. Sourcing was questionable - lobster was somewhat bland, for example.

Food portions were unbelievably small while prices were high. $60.00 for sea bass is a robbery with overcooked potato slices. Statler chicken was an embarrassment. Our guest could not believe the small portion with an almost unrecognizable vegetable that was tasteless. We have been to Garde East in the past and always left there satisfied. We were shocked and very disappointed at last night's meal and would never suggest this restaurant to anyone. The view remains special but food portions and service need redos. We waited for the fourth dinner of scallops to be served which was way after the other three dishes.

Last week I had a superb meal with great service at Garde East. As such, my wife and i brought VIP friends last night to dinner. We were seated in a very noisy upstairs bar in an adjacent building due to an event booking in the restaurant of which we were not informed even though I called to request a specific table in advance. The service was extremely slow. We all had (different) fish dishes, all of which were overcooked. The Tomato Feta salad was minuscule and underwhelming. The French Fries were cold. Being an owner of two NYC restaurants and a Boston brewery, I know the importance of consistency to build customer loyalty. Garde East failed to maintain quality on a busy night. Sadly, I won't be returning........Bruce Rayvid
