Gio's Prime 26 at Inn On Broadway

“We visited Gio’s for our 5th anniversary and it was absolutely delicious. The tomahawk steak was over the top: cooked wonderfully and flavorful. Seafood risotto was a total treat as well. The mashed potatoes are to die for. Service was great. Also, I see people complaining about the amount of time it takes to dine there but In my experience that’s the norm when you go to any fine dining restaurant, it’s about the whole experience and the food is super fresh.”

“We had a wonderful experience for our wedding anniversary. The service was attentive, food came out timely, and the recommendation to follow up w a drink @ the downstairs jazz lounge made our night. Recommend the meatballs, seafood risotto , and crème brûlée. Great food, service, and vibe !”

“My husband surprised me with dinner at Gio’s Prime 26 for my birthday after I raved about my high tea experience there. The Inn, itself, is lovely. Decorated beautifully for Christmas and well kept. I would love to go back to stay overnight. First and foremost was how easy it was to park. Although they offer valet services (we didn’t realize they did), we were able to park quickly and easily. Just a short walk to the front door. The hostess was warm and welcoming and we were seated quickly. From there, the service was attentive, warm and responsive. Scott is a fabulous waiter and, assisting him, Anthony was pleasant and helpful. I would go back just for these two. There is little that impresses me more than great service and I will overlook a bit to get it. Luckily, we didn’t have to overlook anything. The French Onion soup was tasty, very hot (I hate lukewarm food) and filling. We split this appetizer. Each Filet Mignon was perfectly cooked and the bordelaise sauce was to die for. My husband recommended the creamed spinach, which we would normally not have ordered, but he heard it was very good from the reviews. It did not disappoint! It was exceptional. Although the potatoes au gratin were a bit bland, a little extra salt fixed that. The crème brûlée and butterscotch pudding were just the right amount of wonderful to cap off the meal. We each had one drink and a glass of wine. Again, the drinks were very well made and generous pours. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxed. Long review, but this restaurant is a real gem. Again, the service alone made it stand out. Although a higher price point than some other restaurants it was worth it to feel like you’re in your own private world. I would absolutely return.”

“Went here for a work dinner. What a disaster. The service was excellent. No problem there. The food? Not good. Especially given the very high cost. It certainly was not because they were busy. We were literally the only table there the whole night. 10 people. My food came out ICE cold. I wasn't the only one with ice cold food. It's as if they made one dish at a time and then let them sit out until all 10 were done. It wasn't even lukewarm. It was room temp at best. Will never return.”

“Disappointing to say the least. The jazz club prior being the highlight of our evening. Table for five on our annual Christmas dinner with friends. Cocktails were fine, ordered entrees right away as we were told the kitchen was backed up. Ordered a bottle of wine between cocktails, in preparation for entrees, ordered appetizer of oysters, which were very good, but the remainder was less than expected. Wine didn't come, waiter actually said the other table was a sommelier, so apparently he took preference. After some legitimate complaints, the wine came, but not without some attitude from our waiter. He was told of our dissatisfaction, and basically said he didn't want to hear our concerns. We were not the only dissatisfied customers, as some customers near us left before the arrival of their entrees. I was shocked, after having worked in the food service industry, at not only the lack of contrition, but the antagonistic nature of our waiter. Of course, the manager became involved, and was most apologetic and accommodating. However, our food was cool, if not cold, one in our party never received his salad, and the overall experience was NOT what was expected. We still enjoyed our time with friends, but will not be going back. Some staffing issues need to be attended to, and if the kitchen cannot keep up that is an issue too. I am loathe to give a bad review, but if it will improve the quality of the service I wish them well in the future. Nice wine selection, good cocktails, and as I said, the jazz before dinner was most enjoyable. The menu items probably would've been delicious if served at the proper temperature. Work to be done in training and hiring, but there are many other choices for now. Good luck in the future.”
