Great Italian restaurant on the north side of Gunnison. Very nice wine selection. I had the lasagna and my wife had the prime rib. Both were excellent. Highly recommend this place.

Went on Friday night at 7:30pm with a group of 6. We got Prime Rib, lasagna, & eggplant parmesan for mains. We enjoyed the sides as well- garlic mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, side salad, & Cesar salad. They offer a large wine selection. Brendan was so sweet and split up out ticket for 3 couples.

Mike's is by far the best little restaurant I have been to in and around Gunnison, and, dare I say, Crested Butte. The staff is fun and knowledgeable about food and wine. The dining room is cozy for two but still roomy enough for 8-10. Food is excellent, and there is a diverse range of Italian and freshly made dishes for any appetite. Be sure to save room for dessert.

Hard to rate the food as I was denied service. I called to place a to go order and was put on hold. After waiting 10 minutes on hold I decided to drive over since I was staying nearby. When I arrived I was sent to the bar where they told me they are too busy to take a to go order and would have to wait till 8pm for my order. This was so disappointing as I am rarely in Gunnison and this time I had lined up to stay the night and planned to order from Garlic Mike's. This is a first being denied the ability to order a meal and patronize a restaurant. Very disappointing and will never recommend or make a second attempt to dine there.
EDIT: 9/24 I am changing from a 1 to a 3 star as a result of you changing your initial response to my original post. My boyfriends parents made a reservation for all of us here for my birthday celebration and I was so excited to do a good review, but I just can’t…the service was some of the worst I have ever experienced..we were seated almost 30 minutes after our reservation time, that wasn’t a huge deal…but we didn’t get drinks until another hour..and then after we placed our food orders it was another 45 minutes before just getting our soups and salads (one of which was incorrect)..and then dinner was another 45 minutes after that..our reservation was at 6:30, we didn’t eat dinner until almost 9 pm (which is when they close)…It really killed the whole celebration vibe and everyone was cranky and hungry. The outdoor seating is plentiful, a good vibe and cute but i just cant get past the terrible service. No refills on water, drink orders were brought out incorrectly or missing, we had to remind our server several times about bringing us out bread which was received almost an hour and a half after being seated…No apologies or explanations, just a bummer. The food was okay overall though some of our dishes were overcooked and small portions for almost 40$ for my veal parm, the veggies (which we were told incorrectly) were really soggy and sad and just 2 pieces of cauliflower and one piece of brocolli on my plate :/, the fries that we ordered as an appetizer were soggy while the garlic flavor was good, not all of our plates were hot. Just really bummed about our experience here and it was far from cheap. I’ve had multiple jobs serving and know that service could be so much better than this starting with communication about wait times and apologizing and taking accountability, it really sucked. It felt like our servers could’ve cared less and that we were an inconvenience. We had eight people in our group and our bill was hundreds of dollars and I honestly just feel really terrible that my boyfriend’s parents spent their money on this negative experience. I sadly would not return here whatsoever and unfortunately would not recommend this restaurant. I wish I would’ve scrolled down through more of the reviews, as I’m seeing that there are multiple complaints or experiences being shared that were similar to ours, and reading these now I also feel a little bit saddened and frustrated with the responses from the owner some of which are pretty rude, dismissive, defensive and aggressive.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my recent experience at this restaurant was incredibly disappointing.
The food was well below expectations. Dishes arrived lukewarm, poorly seasoned, and clearly not fresh. For the high prices they charge, I expected much better quality — but what we received tasted more like fast food than fine dining.
The service was equally slow. Our server . We waited far too long for drinks, to place our order, and getting simple requests like water refills or soda refills took multiple reminders.
To top it off, the overall cost was outrageous for what we received. This might have been acceptable if the food or service had been even remotely decent, but sadly, that wasn’t the case.
I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. There are far better options nearby where your money will be better spent.
