After watching countless T.V Shows with Giada's cooking, along with her prestine hair and perfectly polished makeup (not to mention killer body), I was convinced her food was good for you and probably super tasty. So for my birthday my husband got us reservations to Giada. Even though we had reservatons we still had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. That was annoying, but not even close to as annoying as our wait staff! After we were seated, they provided us with menus. The waiter then went into his sales pitch about buying the 'all inclusive three course meal for $199. He went on about how you are getting 3 courses and its specialty items that Giada hand selected. I'm like "woah, an appetizer, entree, and dessert for $199??!!!" we said no and asked to look over the menu for a minute. Well it didn't end there. Another server came over to attempt to talk us into purchasing the major expensive meal deal. I felt like I was at a car dealership. We said no and then ordered the entree's we wanted instead (which were still at least $40 per entree)... The portion size was barely enough to feed a 4 year old. I couldn't believe it. But the worst part was the flavor. There wasn't any! I had been salivating at the mouth just thinking about trying one of Giada's dishes. And this is what I get? I could have literally had a better meal at wolf gang pucks! What a let down. Then for my birthday they offered a special dessert for free. I literally starting laughing when it arrived. It was a small butter cookie the size of a half dollar. Gee, thanks Giada.
