Giardino

It was a wonderful, peaceful dining experience. I enjoyed the food, I had ordered the chicken and waffles. It was delicious, the presentation was beautiful and the orange juice I received was freshly squeezed. My mother had ordered the flatbread which was also tasty and vibrant in color. The waiter was splendid, he was attentive and welcoming. The place itself was also beautiful, a luxurious design with a warm and positive atmosphere. I absolutely recommend this place if you’re looking for some delicious food and kind service.

We tried a few dishes during our visit. The veggie omelet was quite bland and lacked flavor. The eggs Benedict didn’t meet my expectations—the hollandaise sauce was very minimal, which made it underwhelming. The muffins were dry and hard to eat. That said, the buttermilk pancakes were my favorite—crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and perfectly sweet. The atmosphere was great, and our server was super nice and attentive. I would recommend eating here if you’re staying at Encore, especially for the pancakes.

I visited this restaurant with a couple of friends. We heard that the place served brunch/lunch and we were heading to the casino floor after. I ordered the Giardino burger (two of us did) which came with truffle fries. It was a great burger cooked just as ordered. One of us ordered the chicken and waffles and was also pleased. Service was a bit slow as there seemed to be some confusion over who our waiter was, but it worked out in the end. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, on the second floor with a view of the decorated casino entrance. It was a good experience and I would come back.

We went to Giardino at Encore Boston Harbor for brunch, and the food was very good. Everything we ordered was well prepared and enjoyable, and the setting itself is beautiful. The only downside was the wait. We did not have a reservation, and even though several tables were visibly available, they were not being seated. We were told there would be a 40-minute wait and were put on the waitlist. After about 55 minutes, despite walking around the hotel grounds and spending some time at the casino, there was still no table available. It definitely takes away a bit from the otherwise magical experience of the place. I would strongly recommend making a reservation if you plan to eat here, as it seems essential even when the restaurant doesn’t appear to be full. Overall, great food and atmosph

Absurdly tiny portion of steak in my steak and eggs, which turned out to be rare after a few bites despite me asking for medium. Told the server, who offered sympathy but nothing else. Arrived on MLK morning for brunch, found a long line of people waiting for the hostess despite an empty restaurant. Waited for more than an hour for a table because the restaurant is so understaffed that dirty dishes aren’t cleared for an hour after customers leave. My water was filled not even once. Had to ask for butter or jam for toast and flag down the waiter for anything else. Absolutely disappointing for a five star venue. I’ve never experienced this before in my life.
