It’s out with the old and in with the new at a longtime eatery in Harmar. Garlic Grille opened in June in the former Emilia’s Garden, serving Italian American home-style cuisine. “We just wanted to break away from Emilia’s Garden and start something new and fresh,” says co-owner and executive chef Doug Brannock.

Roberta Taylor opened Emilia’s Garden almost 30 years ago and resides on the property. The lower level of her home is a casually decorated dining room that can seat about 70 people for dinner. Everything — from the salad dressings to the bread — is made in-house.
