    Gianni’s was very nice! We went for my Bday dinner. We had excellent service and great food! 3 of us had the Sea Bass special which was delicious! 2 others had the steak burgers with fries. They said the burgers were very good but the fries were hard and they could not eat them. It is pricey there so know that before going.

    Love this place! We sat in a booth adjacent to the bar and it was a bit loud but the booth walls helped a lot to keep it from being too loud to talk and enjoy a nice date night out. Love the beautiful and classy Christmas decorations. Our server Dusty was fantastic - I don’t think he could have done anything better! Great service. The meal was sumptuous and expensive (in fairness, we ordered quite a bit: split their sensational spun salad, split the pita-this-world lobster bisque, each had the filet, shared two sides, shared 1 dessert and a glass of wine each)… which made the final bill >$300 but again, sumptuous!!! We just won't be able to go every day! We had a gift card and enjoyed a very very special celebration night out. Thx Giannis!

    Making a reservation several weeks out and then getting stuff in some back room “cause they are busy” sucked this definitely kicks them off recommended list. They should call it an annex and charge half price …

    Small snafu w/the kitchen and the Mgr took care of us immediately. Things happen and they didn’t hesitate to hold themselves accountable. Beyond that the food was outstanding and the drinks were good pours. Servers were friendly and very attentive. Gianni’s has never disappointed.

    Scott was an excellent server. Everything came out as ordered and we never had to look for Scott as he was always one step ahead of us. Scott gave us plenty of time to catch up and didn't rush us through dinner. We had a great dinner at the perfect pace. Can't wait to return!

    Our food and service very good but we were seated at a table near the end of the bar & a bartender along with 2 of his customers conversed very loudly during most of our meal. His conversation was aimed in our direction and made it very difficult for us to have a conversation with our guests. In the future I will always request a booth rather than a table.

    The most expensive steak on the menu needed to be sent back as it was raw. The waitress right away said "it isn't you the steak is raw". Service was very good despite that though.

    We took my 97 year old father for his birthday along with my soon-to-be 96 year old mother. They were very accommodating. Rose, our server, is a gem. Food was good, service was excellent, ambience was somewhat dark, but solved that with our phone flashlights. Manager came by to see how our meal was. I cannot recommend this place enough. We'll be back.

    I know it gets busy, especially on a Saturday night, but we couldn’t help but feel like we had a broom at our heels. That’s never happened, and we’ve always been there when it was busy. Otherwise, the service was very good, the good as always was outstanding, and we’ll be back.
