    First time here, it was ok. Everything rushed. I don’t like when the first course comes out 30 seconds after ordering and then the main course immediately after. I asked for no bacon lardons on the wedge, but they were there. Dover sole presented nicely. Free birthday ice-cream brought out without offering us to look at the dessert menu. Place seems dated. Also didn’t like how much the servers hovered. Husband very much liked his lobster bisque and veal though.

    The best! Outstanding in every metric! The staff is welcoming and attentive. The oysters Rockefeller were perfect. The aged bone-in NY strip was beefy and tender. The pasta is always al dente. Giovanni’s always exceeds expectations.

    We had a reservation at 8:30 and were not seated until after 9:00. Another group of four that arrived after us were mistakenly seated before us. There was a lot of chaos at the front desk. When we booked on OpenTable, we should have been told that there was a special menu for New Year’s Eve. The prices were double what they usually are, which is fine if you are told that beforehand. The food was very good as was the service by our waiter.

    Unfortunately the restaurant seemed over crowded. For a 8pm reservation we had to wait close to 30 minutes for a table. The wait staff was good, but seemed stretched thin for all the business, which made the experience below expectations. The food was good. The overall experience left us to wonder if we would want to return.

    Prices for New Year’s Eve were ridiculous. Doubled cost and little to none extra value for raising them. Great service though. Love the restaurant which is why we went there. Didn’t like the feeling of getting no value for the raises in pricing. You can’t just jack up the pricing just because it’s New Year’s Eve and then provide no extra value. Bad look.

    I made a reservation on open table for two on New Year’s Eve. When we got there there was a ”special” New Year’s Eve menu, where the prices were almost double the normal. Giovanni’s is expensive to begin with, and I thought it would be a special treat for my husband and me. The prix fixe menu started at $165 per person with supplements for steak, crab, etc. We stayed, we enjoyed our meal, but we were very disappointed with the bait and switch. The menu they have posted online was nothing like what we found at the restaurant.
