This review is for the Bradford location, but...

This review is for the Bradford location, but they dont have a specific listing for it. This evening felt like i was in an episode of gordon ramseys kitchen nightmares as this "gio" has absolutely no clue how to run a restaurant and needs some help badly. First for the nitpicky. For a restaurant that has reservations you would imagine a table would be set by the time you arrive, which wasn't the case. In addition, a restaurant who's meals are around $20 on average you don’t expect to see ikea cutlery or glasses used, not that ikea isn't a great store, it just don't belong in a restaurant trying to be more upscale. The choice of entertainment for the night was a misguided attempt. An older gentleman with an electronic keyboard whose volume was way too loud playing music, it was not needed and was more disturbing than nice. But these are minor issues. The big ones are service and food. Granted I was there on valentines day, so it is a busy night. But, that’s why they have a limited menu for this even including a set course dinner for couples which we chose. Presuming that since it’s a set course, the dishes would be carefully made and probably come out quickly since the restaurant wasn’t even full. This was a bit of a mistake. After waiting an hour, our romantic candle having burned out I finally got the attention of the waitress and asked her when the Caesar salad would arrive and if I could have a new candle and refill on water. I was told that the kitchen was “over whelmed” and that’s why there was a delay. As for the salad, well it looked nice and tasted ok, but it consisted of only about 6 leafs. The other courses were a bit quicker to arrive but was still on average of 20min. Our pasta dishes were luke warm and very bland. The main course was pretty good, I had chicken and my date had salmon which was well cooked. Unfortunately mine was supposed to come with potato and what I got was a thinly sliced potato that looked grey/green and was definitely not completely cooked. The dessert was a lava cake that I would consider average. The biggest insult was probably that the owner hid behind the bar the whole night, not even once coming out to apologize. He did send the waitress to offer a “mixed drink” but considering we wernt’ drinking this wasn’t particularly appropriate. In the end the bill came at $90 and two business cards with a “Free app” written on the back. I gave them back to “Gio” and said it would have been a lot more effective if he had simply come to our table and apologize. In which he replied “I was too busy” and walked away. If he had simply walked around with a bottle of house wine and offered a free glass and an apology for the delay it would have been ok, even if we didn’t drink. But with his attitude I hope him the worst misfortune and await the day a “for lease” sign sits in his window as it will surely come if he doesn’t’ smarten up.

Being realatively new to Barrie I rely on this website to find good restaurants and it did not let me down when I came across Gio's. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated immediately. My wife requested a slight modification to the entree and they were more than willing to accomodate. Both meals were excellent and my wife commented on how warm the meal was when it was delivered to our table. We will definately return and will be bringing friends to show them our new discovery. If I were to suggest an improvement it would be on the cut of the veal(tougher than I would have tought) Overall and very nice experience!

We are regulars at Gios and service has always been top notch. We had a party of 14 for a 50th birthday. We all had appetizers, full entrees and many bottles of wine as well as after dinner drinks. I was utterly shocked when the birthday cake arrived and shortly thereafter as did our bill. After 14 people with apps, meals, after dinner drinks, our cake bill was $100. Outrageous - we will never return.
