Very cutesy speakeasy!! It was downstairs through this cool steel tunnel. We only went for drinks and dessert but everything was amazing as was the service! Would definitely recommend for a cute date night

Calling to make reservation was easy and receptionist was very nice. Upon arrival, we were given a secret password to get in to the underground speakeasy which was cute and fun. The food and drink were like magic on your tongue. The server was so knowledgeable and able to give great detail into the taste of all drinks and food items. The area is beautiful but it does get a tad noisy when you are sitting in the middle of the aisle between booths. Still it feels intimate. I did not personally like the dead animals on the walls but that’s a personal preference and I understand that this is a restaurant owned by Johnny Morrison who is an extreme hunter.

We celebrated our anniversary here and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Food was excellent, we enjoyed every course. Our server was awesome, every recommendation she made was prefect. The bartender was also excellent, I had the best espresso martini ever. Do not miss this!!

My husband made a reservation for Valentines Day dinner with our best friends. We drove down from Fort Leonard Wood, MO. From the time we stepped on to the property to the time we left, the experience was amazing! I loved the whole experience for The Garrison. Walking through a barrel, the small plates, the atmosphere, it was so worth the drive. The food was on another level. Some of the best food I have EVER had and that’s saying a lot because I’m a foodie! We will definitely be back!

From the time we stepped onto the property until the time we left, everything was fantastic. There’s a fun store and it’s so much fun to have to walk through a molasses drum to get into the restaurant. We had a sourdough and mushroom salad, bison tartare, scallops with roasted corn, chimichurri porterhouse, and a rosemary pound cake with lemon chiffon icecream. Absolutely amazing. The drinks were unique and delicious and we loved our server Caden. He was so friendly , gave great recommendations, and was attentive. We’ll be asking for him next time we’re back, which we hope is soon!

Man, the bad reviews, from our experience, are not warranted. However, I do know that when restaurants open, especially like this one, standards are high. That being said, they were met with flying colors for us. We couldn’t get a table, so decided to sit at the bar, and probably will do that moving forward because the service was astounding and the questions we asked about the food, drinks and the the history of the farm were met with an exciting eagerness, and went far above and beyond expectations. The atmosphere is incredible as to be expected with a Morris establishment. The drinks were great and the food was absolutely delicious. I could be hypercritical, and say that the skin on my duck was not as crispy as it probably should have been, or that the giant scallop was just a tad undercooked, but that would be unfair because the experience and food were all in all, incredible. This will be our go to when we have out of town guests, period, end of story. If you want to have a special experience and entertain anyone, for whatever occasion, for whatever reason, I’m not sure you’re going to find a better venue in Springfield or surrounding. Suggested would be an understatement, Bravo

Last night was our second time at the Garrison. We got there a few minutes before our reservation, but were seated anyway. Within 2 minutes our drink and appetizer order were taken. We got the black garlic fries and bison tartare. The fries were hot, seasoned with just enough herb, and the black garlic sauce was wonderful. My only criticism, the fries were too small, not short, too small. This causes them to be just dumped into the serving cup, and because of the different sizes, it's like fishing around in a bowl of candy for the the Reese's peanut butter cup, makes it hard to dip them into the sauce and make it to your mouth without dripping some on the table. Personally, I would rather see a cup of french fries standing up, which were just cut from a large russet potato. The bison tartare was fantastic and had a good balance of flavors between the meat and seasonings. I am glad you only serve the portion you do as we could probably eat a bowl of that alone. The 100 layer potato was the only disappointing thing of the whole night. We found it relatively lacking in flavor, with the exception of whatever the burned crunchy things were on top. I would replace it with a small bowl of au gratin or a small, loaded, twice baked potato. The Bouillabaisse was the exact opposite of the potato. As I told our server, as strange as this sounds, I hate to eat. I love good food but ever since I was little I have not enjoyed the process of eating. That changed last night with the Bouillabaisse. It was one of maybe a handful of times in my entire life where I actually savored the process of eating. It was exquisite! It is always risky, I have found, to order seafood at a restaurant. There is so easily a chance that the fish or shellfish may not be as fresh as possible and you end up smelling your order ten feet before it gets to the table. Not so last night. When she put the taurine in front of us was the first time that I smelled it and it was heavenly. You could smell the fish but it wasn't fishy. You could smell the mussels and scallops, but they didn't smell like you just opened an old can of oysters for oyster stew. The balance of flavors between the fish, shellfish, sauce and vegetables was perfect! There's always the chance, when ordering a dish like this, that they will pile on the vegetables, to hide the fact there is very little of anything else, not so with yours. The portions were very good for two people, and possibly even three. The herbs, spices, garlic, and onion were perfectly proportioned so that you could taste all of them in every bite. I can now tell you, your bouillabaisse is quite probably the greatest dish I have ever eaten in my life. I will definitely be having it again. The only thing I would change about that dish? Provide a bowl to put the mussel shells in. We were forced to either put the shells on our plates, inconvenient, or to pile them up in the taurine, and have to move them around for the rest of the food, also inconvenient. The triple layer chocolate cake was wonderful also! It was not too airy or too dense. It had a good body, strong but not overpowering taste of chocolate, and the the frosting was not so thick that you felt like you were eating an entire spoonful out of the mixing bowl. A little bit heavy on the 'brown sugar'(?) topping, it is sweet enough, so maybe use half. As an entire meal, it made me want to sit there and experience it. We could have not been more pleased and will definitely be having these, sans the 100 layer potato, again. As good as the food was, I have always had my grandfather's philosophy about restaurants. You can serve the greatest steak in the world, but with poor service you won't get many return customers. You can serve a good hamburger and bowl of chili, but if the service is good, those people will come back and order the same thing again and again. I watch and am very critical about serving staff. I not only watch my server, but the others in restaurants as well. It is my opinion that 50 to 75% of all people who wait tables, do just that. They

We didn’t know the portions were small so I’m glad I ordered 2 dishes. The food was very good. The restaurant and whole experience was awesome. I’ve never been to a place like it before. It was amazing and would be an incredible spot for dates. My wife and I spent 100 before tip and we also got an app and desert. I’m looking forward to going back again. We did not order drinks but they looked great and smelled amazing when others ordered them. Was a calm environment and dark and not crowded with too many tables. I think they gave one of our dishes to someone else on accident so that one came late and the other table got ours for free. I was able to eat the other dish I got while we waited for the other one so no big deal. Luckily I ordered two. Great place. Amazing spot. Atmosphere was the best part about this restaurant. Nothing like it
