Gary's Restaurant and Bar

"I just tried Gary's for the first time, and we were blown away by the food. This is really the place to go for high end Latin American cuisine. The fish ceviche portion was huge, with huge chunks of fish. Outstanding sushi--the fish tasted so fresh. Fried rock shrimp was incredibly yummy. And the cocktails were outstanding."

"This is a beautiful restaurant located in lowell. It’s just a minute drive from lowell downtown. I love their Mai Thai. I also like their Shrimp Empanadas which comes with a tasty sauce. The staff is very sweet and friendly. This is one of the best places to chill in during summer. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They also have a romantics spot located very close to the stream. It could get hard to get a table in summer. Parking could be an issue since they have only around 10-12 spots. Street parking is available."

"Went here cuz we saw it online. Asked around and has been told it was a place to try. So we did ! I called for reservations but didn't need them for our 630 seating time. Maybe later at night you may need them as it got busy with a few large parties. When we arrived a young woman went to seat us. I told her we reserved a table and she looked at me with a smile -but blankly. I think maybe a bit of a language barrier. Someone else came up and sat us. We were sat by the kitchen. Quiet table in the back but I would have preferred another table as folks just kept coming in and out of the kitchen (of course). But it didn't matter honestly. We got two mojitos. Hubby says you must try the jalapeño one if you like things spicy. My regular mojito was the best I've ever had. Yup. Empanadas , the goat dish and see bass rounded out our meal. Empanadas were yummy. Three for an appetizer. Flavorful with a sauce that tastes familiar like Russian dressing. The goat was great. Hubby loves goat and he said it was cooked perfectly and very rich. Bones everywhere though- which I think is a "thing" because every goat meal we have had always is cooked with the bones. It was served in a bowl like stew. I got the sea bass that was stuffed with a crab mixture. I had a choice of what sauce to choose too. I got the coconut sauce ( no pieces of coconut thank goodness cuz I can't have pieces ) which was a light orange sauce that tasted amazing. Only downside ? My fish was swimming in the sauce. Totally distracted from the flavor of the fish. If i has asked gif it on the side ig would have been better just because of the amount of sauce I had. Both meals cane with rice and beans. We were asked to choose our side- but no idea what most were as they weren't in English (our bad for not asking ). Huge side portions. We ended up taking home one side! We'd def go back. Maybe a bit later. Ordering other items as there are so many choices. FYI: They DO charge a fee to use a debit/credit card but offer a discount if you use cash."

"A Latin American restaurant but you wouldn't really know it by the name. Was here with a large group of guys after white water rafting and they put together a large table for the ten of us. I can't remember the name of the dish I got but it was very tasty and quite filling. It was a rice dish with plantains, pork belly, shrimp, and egg. No room for dessert. Outdoor patio was real nice."

"Amazing delish DR food with great drinks and service. Appears small with side parking and across the street. Maybe 10 tables with additional out door seating as well. Steak pork and ceviche pork always a great choice. If you are going to order something for the kids like pasta because they do not know how to eat DR food I would not recommend."
