Garlic Clove - Kingman

Came thru Kingman AZ in March of 2017 looked for a Italian restaurant found the Garlic Clove walked in at 8:55 pm was the only customer asked if they were closing. They said they still had a lot of closing work to still do. I ordered the trio. The Chicken Parmesan was the best I have ever eaten. I still think about it quiet and will stop in if I ever get back to Kingman AZ. Posted Sept. 2020

Use to be a fabulous place to eat. We arrived at 5pm for dinner. Son ordered a small pizza and I the Baked Seafood, with a glass of wine and ice tea. Wine was delivered and the ice tea. Was informed there was NO Roast Galic sauce for the Baked Seafood. But I could have the red sauce or a white sauce, not thrilled, ordered the Alfredo sauce. We were informed the owner was out shopping for the ingredience for the garlic sauce. We sat and waited 30 minutes, no salad or bread arrive. We watched several people come in and be seated and we watched the waitress take phone orders. Salads came out for other people long with bread. Take out order went out. Then others, who came in after we did, got their orders.. We spoked to the waitress, who was in tears, as to where our food was. She said, it was coming in 4 minutes. WE waited agaim.. Still not salad or bread. Paid for my glass of wine and my son's ice tead. WE learned the staff had been calling the owner, but he never answered or came in the 2 hours they had been trying to contact him. Jessica was a nice waitress and cried the whole time. I only have one fault for her....she could have at least brought the salad and bread. Waiting for an hour is not my strong suit, especially having run resort restaurants, camps, airport restaurant and my own catering service. Seem like the owner and the staff don't work together well...

Great lunch at the garlic clove! We both had the bow tie pasta dish with the house speciality roasted garlic cream sauce. It was just DELICIOUS! We found this restaurant on the walking tour of route 66.. smelling the garlic from down the street. We agreed to visit the restaurant today...so glad we did!
