Giant Chicago件のレビュー
I had such high hopes for Giant.
Nearly all restaurants I've tried on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list have been great, and Giant's menu looks mouthwatering. But it was a big let down. The food did not live up to Bib Gourmand quality and the ambiance of the restaurant wasn
Cons -very poor ventilation (smelled strongly of fry oil)
Cons -very poor ventilation (smelled strongly of fry oil) and I came home with all my clothes smelling like oil -tables are super close together -the food was hit or miss for me. I didn't enjoy the eggplant flavors but my partner did -crab salad
The server was lovely - attentive, helpful, and kind.
Wine was good. However, this may have been the worst food experience I've ever had in Chicago. We love Chef's Special - owned by the same folks - but this food missed the mark in a huge way. We ordered a broccoli dish and were surprised to
A great Chicago restaurant experience.
Great place. Excellent food, atmosphere and service. I loved this restaurant. The dishes were decent portions and there were wonderful new flavors to appreciate.
loved giant, 10/10 with no notes.
each bite was curated to perfection. the vibe was warm and cozy. our waitress gave thoughtful recommendations. i definitely plan to go here on all of our visits to chicago!
I loved it so much, I've been twice in a few weeks.
We didn't have a reservation & called and got in at 8:45 at the chef's table on a busy Saturday night. Small area that was so cool watching the chefs work their magic. We tried 4 menu items. Both of us had the test kitchen jalapeno co
truly unique dishes, high quality ingredients, great vibe, high price
Phenomenal quality food, unique dishes, nice vibes!!! Worth the long wait time! I ordered the sourdough and the saffron pasta with the jonah crab. Ended with hibiscus sorbet that had tajin in it. The pasta was unbelievable. Beautifully presented, hig

The onion rings at Giant will live in my mind rent free, they were phenomenal. Perfectly crisp, deeply flavorful, and elevated by the parmesan sprinkled on top. The trout roe was an unexpectedly delightful combination of flavors, so much so that I or

The appetizers were good - we enjoyed the Japanese Eggplant and the jalapeño corn bread. Unfortunately the pastas we had were meh. The Dungeness Crab Tagliatelle had only a scant 6 tiny pieces of crab and was way overpriced at $40. Likewise, the

Incredible service! Tried the Japanese Eggplant, Shrimp & Scallops, Semolina Cavatelli and the Baked A-Labna. Everything we ate was great - nothing outstanding or mind blowing except the Baked -Labna if it was less jammy. Would still love goin

We truly enjoyed our dinner at giant last night- we had made a reservation online in advance & were seated upon arrival. Everyone on staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, and the space felt well ran & efficient despite the fact that it
I had such a lovely food night with my girls here.
Hopping little place, lots of energy. You can tell the people love it. We sat out on the charming and decently sized back patio, walked through the kitchen to get back there, neat little behind the scenes action. They essentially have a chefs table,
I was soo excited to come here after the amazing reviews
I was soo excited to come here after the amazing reviews but was a tad bit disappointed. First, they should warm the plates because the pasta was already pretty cooled when brought. Second, expect to order at least 2 plates per person to be full, as
Great Dinner
Giant was a lovely dinner experience. I sat the bar and enjoyed my meal, especially the pasta dish. Please also order the delicious Jalapeno Biscuit.
Ordered the broccoli, tagliatelle scallops and flank steak!
Ordered the broccoli, tagliatelle scallops and flank steak! Every single dish was overly salty and had no other flavors. No wow factor at all. Not sure what the hype is. The most enjoyable part of the meal was listening to why the girl in the table

Giant is tucked into that part of the city where you're unlikely to run into tourists. The staff was the kind you want: warm, attentive, unpretentious, and clearly in a committed relationship with the food. They pitch the meal as "family-s

We had an excellent dinner at Giant. Every dish we tried was a standout, nothing was disappointing. We thoroughly enjoyed the following dishes:- Trout Roe Jalapeno Biscuit Baken Clams Jonah Crab Salad Broccoli Bucatini Tagliatelle Drunken Beef Microw
A gastropub with all the trimmings
Giant, no relation to Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor or James Dean, is what restauranteurs refer to as a gastropub, a pub that serves food of high quality, a full-service restaurant focusing on unique craft beers and well-executed comfort food served
Employee insurance charges, really!?!
Last dinner in Chicago, this place was recommended so we were really looking forward to it, unfortunately quite disappointing, the only great thing was the jalapeño biscuit, all the rest very average and not worth going back. Then we get the bill a
Loved it.
I don't have enough superlatives to describe this experience. We sat at the bar with the view of the kitchen, and it was incredible to watch the food being cooked with such artistry. All of the staff, including the chef/cooks, were really nice to us
Giant is truly a remarkable place -- each dish was stellar.
I feel so lucky that it's only a mile from my home -- an easy walk. The pasta dishes were especially delicious, and it all was next level! Great service and vibe, too!
Google image search "Tagliatelle" and come back to this.
Get your pasta varieties straight if you're going to make a big deal out of this dish. Just silly.

if I could figure out how to make the tagliatelle w/crab, I would never need to leave my home again. so delicious. and, forgetting to order bread was not a problem, the onion rings did double-duty scooping up sauce and being delightful with the steak
The food, as always, is phenomenal.
Two weeks ago we made a reservation at the chefs table (which is a counter in front of the food prep area). Once seated i noticed a smell of hibiscus and cedar and asked the chefs what dish that was. Turns out it was the scented candles from the ba

Excellent food and drinks, cool ambiance and vibes, and attentive service. Loved all the food!
What a treasure.
Found this place in a very uncommon way. I was trying to find a lower rate on car insurance of all things and was talking to an agent based in North Carolina. Upon hearing I lived in Chicago he opened up and mentioned he had a red haired nephew that
Fantastic food and welcoming place
We had 5 dishes- all excellent- flavoursome, cooked perfectly, different textures too so every bite was delicious. Sat at the chef's counter which was a lovely experience. Our server was Lucas and he did a lovely job of welcoming us, great knowledge
Storefront restaurant, seating, service, food.
Just like heaven. Not a bad dish or misstep was had the night the party of three gathered to toast a newly fianceed couple. Tapas style mostly. The menu changes often, and the libations to die for. I highly recommend it. Street parking is mostly eas
GIANT DELIVERS!
Chicago is winning the culinary war with GIANT!!! Every dish on the menu is literally special and the Japanese Eggplant along with any of the pastas demand future visits. The service and atmosphere are unpretentious and the food albeit complex, is o

The only "giant" thing here is prices.
Are the dishes good? Yes? But their portions are laughably small for those prices. For example, you pay $20+ for your pasta dish and it's literally 3 bites. Not worth coming back.

Giant is a small plates, cozy little restaurant.
As others have noted, the tables are seated close together and you WILL be able to hear other parties' conversations, but I still think it's a great place for a date or to catch up with friends. I think the menu is a perfect size, too, where you're a

Had a great meal here recently! We were a group of 3 which meant we avoided the super cramped 2-tops so my tip is to go with more than 1 other person to do the same. Our server was very friendly and knowledgable, and checked in on us enough without b

Super cute neighborhood restaurant in Logan square.
Somewhat hard to snag a reservation but I would say it is worth it to try it at least once. I have been a couple times and do not see the need to rush back. They change up their menu which is fun but also sad because two of my favorite items were tak

Amazing culinary treat
Wow, what a special treat it was to have dinner at Giant in Logan Square! My daughter had been wanting to try it and she was able to score early reservations for the Saturday I was in town. Our server expertly walked us through the menu which is loos
Highly recommend Giant.
Our waitress was so kind and even more helpful than she needed to be. She directed us to a better wine and described the food wonderfully when we weren't sure what to order. The trout Roe is a must order. The Japanese eggplant was also amazing!! Tagl
"Giant" is a tongue-in-cheek moniker.
This eatery is so compact, even a midget would feel hemmed in. The room is basically a hallway, sort of like Avec. Sharing plates is encouraged. Tables are pushed so close together, it's a communal experience. The wine list is far more extensive
This might be one of the best meals I've ever eaten.
Every single dish was delicious. We had the Jonah crab salad, Japanese eggplant, tagliatelle, and the steak. They were really all standouts. Our service was also excellent without being intrusive. The restaurant is small and tables are tight...I'd re
Food was great & so was the service.
Pros: the food was amazing. Flavored & cooked perfectly. This what we got:-Jalapeño Biscuit: very Good, the sauce was savory with some sweetness & butteriness. -Waffle fries with Crab salad; Yummy. Crab was dress & waffles cooked perfect
Wow! What a fun, delicious and welcoming place.
My friend and I walked in on a Thursday night and were immediately sat at the bar for the "dinner and a show" where you can watch the chefs cook right in front of you. The food was killer, especially the appetizers. The pasta dishes were go
