"Went there the other night for an early anniversary dinner and was highly disappointed. My husband and I have been once before for a rehearsal dinner and had a fabulous meal, so we were excited to go back. In those four years, something has gone awry. First, I called ahead of time and asked if there was any difference in the lunch and dinner menu, and was told it was the same menu all day. The server, who was inattentive and not particularly friendly, told us that because we were there between lunch and dinner there were no specials, implying we had chosen a poor time to eat. People were vacuuming and generally acting as if we had come during a bad time. I 'd say just close for a few hours to get yourselves ready for dinner service and not stay open if your service isn 't the same throughout the day. Our starters were pretty good though nothing to write home about. It was the super pricy surf and turf and prime rib that really let us down. The pieces of meat were heavy on the fat cap, which left relatively minimal edible meat. The meat we did have, while under seasoned and in heavy need of the aus jus, was cooked nicely. The sea bass part of the surf and turf was a joke in its size and cook somehow soggy and dry at the same time. The portion was also minuscule for the market price . Essentially, the price of the surf and turf is the cost of two entrees, but neither were entree size portions. The sides were atrocious. We had asked what the vegetable of the day was and told asparagus it was green beans. Our sides the mashed potatoes and the green beans were so overly salted that they were rendered inedible. I 'm sorry to say that we won 't be back anytime soon."

"First and foremost this review is long overdue!! I fell in love with Giorgio, the moment I stepped through the doors and seen the outdoor space. My husband and I got married back in August. And now it’s been 4 months since we’ve been married, and to this day, guests are telling us how much they enjoyed our wedding, how much they enjoyed the food, the scenery, and most importantly the staff. If you are having hesitations about getting married here, pleaseeeeeee do not hesitate. George, Nick, his son George, my lovely attendant, the staff, everyone was amazing and so kind to us. My day unfortunately was filled with rain in the morning time, and originally I wanted the ceremony to be outside, because of the rain. So I reluctantly agreed to do the ceremony inside. But then the forecast shown that there would have at least an hour of a no rain period which happened to fall at the same time, my wedding was going to start. Everyone in the crew, went back outside with all of the chairs and started wiping down seats, in order for our guests to sit. This greatly touched my heart. The food, THE FOOD, especially because both of our families are Haitians! We Caribbean people don’t play about our food, but every Haitian in attendance, and even guests that we had from other nationalities gave us major points because Giorgio’s not only supplied us with lots of food, but it was TASTY! Most of the time whenever we attended wedding venues that was stunning in appearance like Giorgio’s, the food is 99% of the time, bland and disgusting. But Giorgio’s was the first venue that we and our guests have been to, that actually wow’d us from start to finish. Ruben and I can’t thank the staff enough, we have 0 regrets getting married here. And I know if you give Giorgio’s baiting hollow a chance, you wont regret it! Ruben and I are desperately waiting for a friend of ours to get married here so we can have an excuse to come back!! Book this venue, you wont regret it!!! I’m here leaving a review (that wasn’t asked for) 4 months after !!!!"
