Tables are uncomfortably close together - not the place if you’re looking for something intimate. Place is loud and it’s hard to hear each other. Service was great, though.
For two people we ordered:
Jalapeño biscuit
Japanese eggplant
Onion rings
Broccoli
Tagliatelle crab pasta
All were great, though portions are super small for the price. If you’re trying to get full be prepared to rack up a bill.
Our least favorite was crab pasta - it was salty and had little crab in it.
The highlight was the dessert, which had chocolate cake, peanut, ice cream, and chocolate syrup. We devoured it.
We have had Giant on our list for awhile (thanks to outstanding meals at chef special cocktail bar). Overall the experience was good but not amazing. We started with the maple butter biscuit and trout. Both of which were excellent and left us waiting to be excited for more. The pastas for us were both lacking the same wow. The tagliatelle was good, but at $36 and a very small amount of crab it missed the mark a bit. It was easy to find the Eastern European influence in the dumplings which reminded me of pelmini or periego, and didn’t really stand out from all the others I’ve eaten. Overall Giant is worth trying, but probably won’t being going down as an all-time favorite. (4.3/5)
Giant was a really unique experience. The staff were friendly and the service was great. The food was paced well and the flavors were varied and complimentary. The cocktails were tasty, especially the extended stay and the nice chais one. My favorite dish of what we had was the broccoli and the flank steak. The carrots are on the sweeter side as a dish. The flank steak I think was my top pick. My only complaint and why I gave it 4 stars is because the amount of oil in each dish was really heavy for my taste. I think it’s possible to get the same great flavors without my plate swimming in oil. If I could give a 4.5, I’d give that rating.
