   First time I tried Giana was not a good experience, but months later I gave them a second chance and I must say they have done a lot better. They have dded new foods, drinks, and seems like they changed the recipes for some of their main dishes to make them better. The chicken parm is a lot better now than when I had it the first time. I also had the Gingerbread Martini which was really good. I would recommend giving them another chance if you tried them when they first opened, they have done better now.

   The brunch menu was great. Lots of options and different things that aren’t on your typical menu. Our server was excellent.

   We were on a 90 minute time limit for New Year’s Eve which was completely fine because my GF and I were not planning on being out all night. We were serviced very quickly, and our waitress was really easy to talk to and made sure that we had everything that we needed to enjoy our experience. The food and drinks came out very tasty and the presentation was incredible. It was a little bit on the pricey side for two people, but we like to pay for experiences and this was certainly a great one!

    We visited Gianas for college graduation dinner. The atmosphere inside the main dining room was ok. It was extremely loud to the point where we were borderline screaming just to hear one another. Our server was very nice, she was not super attentive but all the servers there seemed very overworked. The cocktails were about average for an upscale restaurant and were served quickly. The food was by far the worst part of the experience. To start, we ordered the calamari as an appetizer. It was served with a buffalo/hot sauce which was just strange. I ordered the steak tips cooked medium. They came out 5 minutes after the other five guests at my table were served their entrees. After cutting into the steak tips, they were way overdone, even pushing well done. The steak tips came with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach as well. The cream sauce was broken and the mashed potatoes were somewhat bland and not very fluffy. Our group had also ordered the truffle pasta, chicken piccata, and two pizzas. The truffle pasta also had a broken cream sauce. The chicken piccata was so lemony it was very tart. The pizzas were about average, nothing special but they were not bad. Not to mention all the dishes with pasta are served with bucatini which is an odd choice for chicken piccata. Additionally (maybe a little picky), all entrees were served in a large bowl dish, even the steak tips, which the silverware kept sliding into. Some of these issues are excusable, however, for a $272 dinner these things are pretty important. All said and done, the bar could be fun to go to, but do not go for food.
