BBQ Garden — Restaurant in Mestia

Fantastic little BBQ spot with outdoor seating and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The menu is limited, but everything is done exceptionally well—perfect for a relaxed, delicious BBQ dinner. We had both pork and chicken BBQ, which were perfectly grilled, juicy, and full of flavor. The salads were fresh, and the homemade lemonade was a hit with both adults and kids. What really set this place apart was the hospitality. Despite being busy, the servers took the time to interact with our kids, who ended up playing and laughing with them throughout the meal. The host and owner personally checked on us multiple times to ensure we were comfortable and well taken care of. It’s very reasonably priced, we paid around $80 for a generous dinner for six adults and three kids. The outdoor setting is charming, but do bring a layer as it can get a bit chilly in the evening. The place was full of international travelers and had a calm, pleasant vibe, not noisy like some other spots in the area. Highly recommend for the food, service, price, and...

In my opinion, the food was inedible, so much so that it is not good even for strays. I took a meat kebab which was surrounded by some georgian type of pita bread. I did not eat for a whole day before coming here, therefore I was very hungry and yet this kebab still tasted terrible and could not finish it. I also took a glass of white wine. The wine tasted like water at the start and when swallowed like vinegar. My partner took a cold cream soup and it was also horrendous to say the least. Prices were also very high in comparison to the quality and amount of the food.

Service was also slow. We had to wait for 30 minutes to get the change for the bill we paid for.

Also, they add 10% service charge on top of the prices, which I’m not ok with since both the service and the food...

After waiting almost 20 minutes to order, the server got our drink and food order wrong.

The table we sat at had a fixed bench and I recommend looking for seats that can be moved, not fixed seats. Also there was a railing that blocked the view of street, which is part of the fun of dining on a patio (IMO).

The cheeseburger was good, the sauce on the burger was quite good in fact. The BBQ chicken was not great according to my partner who found the orange color not to his liking. We also ordered the pumpkin pkhali, and nether of us liked it. The menu did not list a dry white, but we were able to order it.

Overall, this restaurant did not rate in the "will eat there again"...
