**Dining Experience at Giant: A Mixed Bag** Giant promises a delightful culinary adventure but delivers a mixed experience. While some patrons rave about standout dishes like the jalapeño biscuits, Japanese eggplant, and fresh seafood, others lament overcooked and bland offerings. The restaurant’s close seating arrangement has left diners cramped and distracted, with service described as average at best. Prices are steep, prompting expectations for exceptional quality, yet not everyone leaves satisfied. Despite its shortcomings, many express enthusiasm for a return visit, drawn by the creative menu and engaging chef interactions. Giant remains a polarizing destination worthy of exploration.

Was Gavin Hürlimann at Giant a mag?
I recently had my favorite dining experience in Chicago in quite some time! I highly recommend sitting at the chef’s table, where the chefs were incredibly friendly and took the time to interact with us despite their busy evening. The biscuit, mafaldine pasta, flank steak, and carrots were absolute highlights of the meal. I also enjoyed trying the unique dish of Japanese eggplant. However, I didn’t particularly care...

What Anonym dislikes about Giant:
Showed up on time for our reservation and still had to wait for 20+ minutes, no apology or anything. The food is simply just not worth the hype. We ordered the bread and it came out with our last dish. They sit you shoulder to shoulder with other guests, so much so, they had to move our table in order to squeeze us it. My girlfriend had to use the bathroom during our meal and we had to interrupt other people’s dinner... View all feedback.
Made a reservation for 10:15, but ended up walking in around 9:30 and were actually able to be seated right away! My brother and I had been eating all day
To start off - the service here is absolutely outstanding and deserves its own 5 star review aside from the 5 stars that the food gets.
Went to try Giant for restaurant week and it did not disappoint! We arrived just before 6pm and so qualified for the half off bottle of wine deal which was fun. We decided to order the restaurant week menu as well as man menu items. Standouts were the crab salad (just fresh with incredible crab flavor , eggplant with pita (just WOW, I’m not really an eggplant person but it was cooked in such a fabulous way I couldn’t get enough! , sortalini pasta (to die for…. Seriously fantastic I should’ve ordered twenty of them , and the roast pork (melty and fatty, no notes . We also really enjoyed the vegetable dumplings, shrimp, beef cheek, and sourdough bread! For dessert the soy sauce ice cream was so fun and interesting, and apple tart was perfectly crunchy and sweet (but not too sweet . Great place to go with friends or a date! Only docked one star for atmosphere because the tables were packed so closely together it was really difficult to get out from the booth haha would have loved a little more room to get out comfortably.

We ordered the bread and it came out with our last dish. They sit you shoulder to shoulder with other guests, so much so, they had to move our table in order to squeeze us it. My girlfriend had to use the bathroom during our meal and we had to interrupt other people’s dinners just so she could squeeze by. Service was poor and awkward, we ordered a bottle of wine and the server over poured my girlfriend after she said no when asked if she wanted more wine. Just left us feeling down at the end of the night. I wont be back. Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1 Price per person: $100+
