Garden City Pub

Opened in a former auto-body shop near Route 128, this place rises above the usual pub fare with an impressive array of pastas (try the sun-dried tomato chicken or veggie pesto saute), burgers, barbecue (steak tips or turkey tips), broiled fish and shellfish, and salads. Steamed mussels with garlic, scallions, basil, tomatoes, and wine demonstrate the kitchen's ambition.
