Early supper at Visetta Garage on Woodward in Berekley

"The oldest garage east of the Mississippi was born to serve one purpose but is now preserved to serve another. While the service provided inside the walls of this Woodward Avenue landmark has changed, the foundation of quality craftsmanship laid by the Kurta and Marwil families remains that same; fine tuned and authentic. With burgers, Union Mac & Cheese, tacos, coal-fired pies and the like, the new crew is working to keep the legend of Vinsetta Garage alive." (from their website). I just love the cool surroundings, but I grew up working on cars and engines. While it can be a little loud at time, the food is worth it. Parking can be a little tight so come a little early to find a place.

As normal, please get on the going list ONLY IF YOU WANT TO EAT THERE and not just a placeholder on your calendar just in case nothing better comes along. Dropping out the week before does count against your total of no shows or late drops. Even if you switch yourself to not going at the last minute, we can still list you as a NO SHOW after the meal. We need to be fair to other members, we have over 600, the staff and owners of the restaurant, and all of organizers of meet up groups that are now having a hard time scheduling events because of no shows. I cut off RSVP 24 hrs before the meal. You will be asked to confirm the week before and if you don’t, you will be moved to not going.

If you are on the waiting list don’t give up if you really want to go. The wait list has disappeared lately to give up openings a few days before for late sign ups. I also try to make a way to add to the reservation if I can. I have found that when I have more than 8, I am lucky to get 8 people even with a longer wait list. I can’t use our Meet Up name since on shows at those meals have made the restaurants not to give Meet Up groups reservations.
