Garramone's was close to my Airbnb, so I gave it a try. As a solo diner, I was seated in the middle of everybody else, but I didn't mind at all, it made for interesting people-watching. My server, Misty, was extremely friendly, super attentive, and incredibly on point. And, it was even her birthday! A local dish intrigued me, Shrimp Riggie, but I'd never heard of it before and decided to give it a try. Misty made recommendations to tweak it (especially adding cheese on top, and adjusting the heat level). It was absolutely delicious! Perfectly spicy, perfectly flavorful. I couldn't have been more pleased with my dinner, or the portion; I gladly had my leftovers the next morning for breakfast. Yes, the building looks dated from the outside and the sign could use updating, and even though right now staffing is a common issue (which was well-posted on the way in), I got no sense of that tonight, no doubt due to Misty's cheerful diligence. I would go back here in an instant.

We ordered a medium with 10 wings and chicken fingers. On this menu, that says Garramones, it is $22.50 for a medium and 10 wings. I said to the young lady taking my order....I would like a medium with 10 wings, that's $22, right? She said yup, we also have a a large and 20 wings. I said ok I would like the medium and 10 wings for $22 and chicken fingers. She said ok. When we got there they had charged us $48! He started arguing with a woman who eventually said the owner is the only person that can do anything. My husband said, ok, may I speak to him. She told him he wasn't there. Then after another minute of telling my husband it was his fault, she goes to get the owner. He comes out and says they don't update any of that, only their Facebook page, and they pay a company to take care of the web page. I would think if you are paying a company you would keep an eye on it to make sure your company is being represented correctly so you do not lose customers, like they did today. Also, when I go to order something I look it up on the web, not Facebook. So, we paid $48 for aweful food. We won't be back....EVER!

If the Italian nachos are on the menu you owe it to yourself to get them. Delicious. I had the Veal Parm with extra cheese. Very good. The sauce is just sweet enough and the veal was done perfectly. And no they did not skimp on the extra cheese. Clam chowder was very creamy and loaded with clam. Very tasty. She had the Shrimp Alfredo. Shrimp were huge, Alfredo was super creamy. Generous portion. Plenty for leftovers. All in all a very pleasant experience.

On vacation with my family, reviews online made it sound really good, old school Italian. Scallops were bland and tiny, weirdly sauced, way over priced! Chicken French and Parmesan were very tough and rubbery! Ugh, just terrible. Nothing worse than paying for a bad meal.
