| - My party of 4 were extremely excited to visit Giada on their 4th day open! Giada was present and making the rounds...cool! While we waited for our table, we started with a bit of coppa, bacon wrapped dates, and charred octopus. All delicious items! Drinks were imaginative, tasty, and stiff.
Once we were seated at the table, it went south. We ordered 3 pasta dishes, 2 mains, a side, and a bottle of wine. the Sommelier was awesome and choose a great burgundy, but the food...it just never came. 30 mins into the bottle of wine, the server checked and said there was problem and it would be out shortly...Another 20 mins and a second bottle wine...no food.
Finally after an hour, a chicken makes an appearance (no pasta yet) with a bit of flourish, disappears for carving and doesn't come back. It's like they were teasing us! Well we waited for another 10 mins but unfortunately we had a show to catch at 10PM and after 2 1/2 hours at Giada, we only had apps/alcohol to fill our bellies. The manager was gracious and comp'd our 2 bottles of wine and apps, but couldn't make right our disappointment or rumbling stomachs during the show.
Hopefully this was just opening jitters as it was the first Friday night they were serving dinner. Really wished I could of tried more of their food....
