Giannis Steakhouse & Seafood

We came here to celebrate our 6 month anniversary. It is a very special day for personal reasons, and we wanted to come someplace new that we had never been before. Although we could have hired a babysitter, we chose to bring my 18mo son. The owner and hostess greeted us at the door and we let them know we were about 30 min early. They were so very accommodating and got us a table right away!First of all, the setting alone right next to lake Minnetonka is absolutely gorgeous. They do have outdoor seating, but we chose to sit inside to have easier access to the high chair for my son. We only waited about 2 minutes before our table was ready. Our server Scott was beyond kind and he was sure to tend to my son's impatient needs quickly. He even brought us complimentary bread and croutons for our anniversary (normally $6)! Such a kind gesture, and he was so lovely to my son even when he was getting a little antsy. (The restaurant is pretty loud, so if you do have a louder party, it's nbd;) He even called himself "Grandpa Scott", lol it was very adorable. I started with the strawberry lychee margarita and asked if they could add a hint of spice to it. They did just that, & boy was it delicious. We ordered the A5 Waygu, the 16 ounce New York strip, a side of hashbrowns, asparagus, creamed, corn, and a baked potato with all the fixings. The food was absolutely fantastic! My favorite, to my surprise, was actually the creamed corn with bacon bits & the waygu steak. The ribeye also had phenomenal flavor! I had the passionfruit pineapple daiquiri with my dinner and that was also very tasty. Kudos to our kind server Scott, we will be requesting him as a server when we come again. Phenomenal dinner, thanks Giannis for a wonderful night.

Escargot was mid, needed more garlic. Oysters Rockefeller tasty but have egg in them which I wasn't prepared for. 7/10 overall! Have been here before and both were better than this visit in their defense

First off, if you have server Scott, you are in good hands. The staff here is very helpful and respectful. When you arrive, there is valet service out front which is very helpful. The restaurant is clean and nice and welcoming. My girlfriend went here for our anniversary and they nailed it with taking care of us. I ordered the New York strip with a baked potato and my girlfriend got the Waygu steak with asparagus and creamed corn. I will definitely be back soon. It's right off a lake so if you sit in the patio, that will be very nice.

Food 4/5 - It was busy Saturday night at Giannni's and the place was packed. The wedge was fresh and tasty, the salmon was packed full of flavor and the vegetables were a nice pairing, and the steak was made to order and hot. They also gave us a free cheesecake for the birthday we were celebrating. Service / Ambiance 3.5/5 - The restaurant is very small and loud! We had a 6:30 reservation on a Saturday night and were seated closer to 6:50. The waiting area is very small and right by the door so it can get crammed easily. Once we got to our table it was hard for our table of 4 to hear each other, it was a very noisy restaurant. The two servers were very attentive with our table and had great conversion. Service was great!

Amazing amazing amazing food and service. Very respectful and knowledgeable staff who give great recommendations. Everything I've tried there is absolutely delicious - don't forget to try the hash browns! They come in a generous portion, enough to share with the table.

Beautiful location. Somewhat understated, yet elegant. Great menu, food quality and presentation is excellent. And service has been superb with each visit!Be sure you make a reservation!

Gianni's Steakhouse was nothing short of amazing. We were seated 30 minutes before our reservation and within the first 15 minutes of being sat 6 different people came to our table! One for drinks, silverware, bread basket, etc. Our server was Devin and he checked in us numerous times during each course (very much appreciated!) everything was set up so nice, amazing music, T was great for valet service, amazing views, and overall nice people! Will definitely be returning in the future, and you should too.

Giannis has a beautiful interior filled with good servers and cooks. Everyone was very nice and all the food was very good!

Giannis has maintained a fine dining experience. This was the first time I had been in the bar area, while waiting for reserved table to open up. Make no mistake, they are busy from open to close on a Saturday night. Almost standing room only. Everyone from the hostess to bartender to other patrons make you "feel at home" Ordering an app at the bar worked out great. The escargot was not overpowering, texture nice, bread great accompaniment. Dinner, I had lobster. A portion large enough for two days. They offer in shell or out. The spun salad is consistent from almost 3 decades ago. I had never had oysters Rockefeller here previously. Much like the escargot, the preparation was spot on. This doesn't present as a "pre-fab" restaurant in any way. It is evident their chef takes great care with the dishes and how he runs his kitchen. Courses were perfectly timed. The wait staff was attentive, without being imposing. I look forward to returning, Also, for how many patrons were there, the noise level was not overwhelming.

Such a disappointment. This place has gone from "old school" to jiust old and tired. Food is in a decline.
