                                                              Our reservation this evening was for 6pm. After waiting 45 minutes, I checked on our table and we were told there were 2 ahead of us. 15 min later my husband checked on our table and the very young hostesses told him they gave our table to someone else. They said they'd seat us as soon as possible and then proceeded to seat a 7pm reservation. I asked for the manager after the girls told me to" look around honey, there are people everywhere.". She told me the manager would speak to me when she has time. I asked the bartender to speak with the manager. She got her immediately and got us seated. We've been to Gino's for Christmas eve many years and have never encountered waiting like this for a reservation. Many people were upset about the wait we encountered and the way we were treated. Dinner was enjoyable and good as always. Our server and our gentleman refilling our water and packing our food were great and we tipped them both on top of gratuity added to our check. We appreciate good service but after this experience we will be dining elsewhere for Christmas Eve. In my opinion, as a manager, I would have addressed the many people waiting on their reservations and thanked them for their patience. Instead the hostesses were very disrespectful and didn't offer an apology but instead an explanation. Overall this was a disappointing start to our family holiday.

                                                              The steaks were perfectly cooked, the dessert was heavenly - pound cake filled with a nutty fluffy whipped cream. The kitchen was slow, we sat at 5 and the main course came at 6:20, but it was a busy Christmas Eve night. Cocktails were on the weak side considering the price. Wine might be a better choice. I will definitely go back on a less busy night for the best steaks I have found in Dyer so far…..

The food was very good. There was a wait for the food as it was extremely busy, but we had a great experience.

No refills for our drinks, food was forgotten and had to be asked for and the restaurant wasn’t busy. Adding a 20% gratuity to a table of 6, ensures less than great service. Very disappointing
