We made an 8:00 pm reservation on Open Table about a month in advance for a Tuesday night and in the "notes" section, requested a window table. I was called a couple days before our trip to confirm our reservation and was told that I could guarantee a window table if I committed to spending $100 per person on dinner. I declined. I guess they try to sell everything in Vegas, but this turned me off a little.
We got to the restaurant about 10 minutes before our reservation and had to wait in the bar for our table until around 8:15. The restaurant is beautiful, but "compact". Tables in the bar and dining room are very close together and it can be hard to move around. Our table was by the window, but was behind some window treatment that partially obstructed the view.
Our waiter was not rude, but was really not engaging, as though we were really not that important to him. (Maybe he knew we were not going to spend $100 per person?) When I asked about 2 entrees, he did not describe them, he simply selected one for me. Come to think of it, maybe he was a little rude.
As far as food goes...the bread was OK. The wine was OK. The salads were OK. The entrees were OK. The service was just OK. Despite the hype, the place is just OK. We were hoping for a better experience. Unfortunately, we probably won't be returning to Giada our next trip to Vegas.
