Giada - Las Vegas

Last evening we dined at Giada — five women (from 91 to 9 years) representing four generations in our family. We are huge Giada fans and were so looking forward to the experience. The restaurant is beautiful. We were seated at a table with a wonderful view. The meal was superb! Except for the waiters who brought the food, the service was very disappointing. Our server was not kind or helpful. A female wait staff who assisted him was equally disappointing. After our dinners were served and we were enjoying the food, she came to our table and exclaimed that she was heartbroken that we used a knife to cut the pasta. It was truly disappointing to be treated in the manner we experienced.

Completely disappointed. Went here with five others for my Leap Year birthday. Picked this restaurant over all others in Vegas. What a huge disappointment. We ordered bread that looked lovely but was dry and flavorless. Ordered appetizers that were adequate. Absolutely nothing was worth the price. The lemon spaghetti was flavorless nothing was special and everything was far overpriced. Had the hazelnut soufflé that literally tasted like scrambled eggs. I’m all for high priced meals when warranted, but nothing about this meal was worth the price or going back unfortunately. Such a sad 60th birthday meal.

The food was not prepared correctly or as promised. However, the view was fantastic. Unfortunately, the service was lacking. I strongly considered addressing the issues, but I didn't want to spoil anyone else's already disappointing experience. What a letdown!

We liked our appetizers, but the main courses felt like a slightly fancier version of Olive Garden, though with drier chicken. The staff who served us were rather impersonal and cold, bordering on rude. The dessert menu was handed to us without any prompt. When it was time to pay, the waiter simply dropped the check on the table and walked away without even a "Thank you." Given the price, my wife and I were expecting a memorable experience, but we ended up feeling disappointed. I would suggest looking for a better dining option elsewhere.

Our server was incredibly fun and engaging. The lobster ravioli was outstanding—definitely a step above the house specialty lemon noodles I ordered. While the noodles were good, the ravioli was on another level. The risotto was also very delicious. We enjoyed some tasty and delightful cocktails. However, the chocolate cake we ordered was far too rich; none of us could manage more than a couple of bites.
