This place used to be a vibe and then they changed owners and the vibe changed as well. I came here with my team and we had a great time. The food was great and the sangria was on point compared to last year. I ordered the penne with garlic, oil and broccolini and it was good. It would be great if they returned to the original format: live Jazz, good music, good brunch, good drinks and good food. read more

The price and the food quality simply do not match. I ordered a chicken and shrimp pasta. There were cold pieces of chicken in the middle like it had been heated in a microwave. There was an obnoxious amount of sauce. The pasta was over cooked. The only redeeming part of the meal was my ginger beer. Most of the ppl at my table were unhappy with the food sent it back. The ribs weren't cooked well. The food came out cold and/or slow. I do not recommend this. Get rid of the chef. read more

Came here to celebrate passing an exam! It was quiet, music was playing and the games were on. Service was great. We sat at the bar and enjoyed ourselves. Definitely a place to visit. We had cheese bread, lamb chops, and pasta with shrimp and grilled chicken. Food came out quick, and was hot. Drinks were great. We had a Moscow Mule and some others. read more

I hadn't been here in a minute and went for Happy Hour with the work fam. We had a great time and the vibe was chill. Nice decor and the food was yum!!! Penne vodka chicken pizza, mozzarella sticks, wings, and calamari, we had a bit of everything. The bartender was great, took care of us and made a strong tasty cocktail regardless of what was ordered. Impeccable service and the music playing in the background was perfect, not too loud, not too low. I shall be back!' read more

I'm giving this place a 5,because of the location and parking space. This place used to be a very good after work spot. Back in the days it was packed, good music and great atmosphere. The food was good nice portions and tasty, staff is always friendly and fast. I haven't been here since the pandemic, for a Saturday night it was super empty. I will still return. read more

It's extremely painful to buy 2 plates of food and 2 drinks for $89 and it taste like nothing I mean absolutely nothing. What further pissed me off is that we was charged $27 for just plain Alfredo and $12 for a piece of fish, since when is plain Alfredo is $27?. The shrimp in the linguine was 2x over cooked to the point I couldn't even eat it. Yes, it seems we were the last customers but it's better not to take an order then to serve your customer tasteless food for all that money. I wouldn't be mad if the food was good but this don't make no sense. Even after adding the basic salt, pepper and garlic it was still terrible. Nope I won't be back Oh the part was this read more

One of my most low key spots that I go to for date night . The Upstairs level, is more on the romantic side if you are going here with your significant other . I love their stuffed shrimp and shrimp scampi. I always order wine so can't tell you much about any of their liquor items regarding the liquor's strength... read more

I come here often I want to give the place 5 stars because the food is so delicious and the drinks are usually on point. However the workers never seem to smile and look miserable. Our waitress was upset that she got seated another table (my table) on a busy night. We received that energy from her the entire night. Me and my best friend didn't say anything to her and we continued to enjoy our food, drinks and good music. Not until the time it was for us to pay our tab was when she finally cracked a smile :) "thank you ladies " lol. We know what that means (leave me a nice tip please). I even witnessed a party of 4 walk out because the waitress had such a nasty attitude. I have worked in restaurants for many years and it really sucks as an employee to have sour people work with you if you have a job with pulled tip. The bartender can be doing her best to make tips for those co workers who don't even care to wipe a table off or great a table in a timely fashion. Point of the matter is I will still continue to come to eat here because of the great food and drinks, but management should really evaluate their floor staff. read more

I've been to this restaurant almost 10 times in the past three months and while I do enjoy the food, the customer service experience leaves a lot to be desired. Let's start with the fact that one particular way that walks around with his mask underneath his nose instead of over it and constantly have to be reminded to pull it up. While the food is good the wait time for someone to take your order and to deliver the food to the table is horrendous. Also I ordered a Pepsi and waited 20 minutes for it to be brought to my table even though my table was right across from the bar. Not to mention that three times that I've been here in the past month every time I go to the bathroom heavily soiled hand towels are overflowing in the wastebasket and it doesn't look like anyone has cleaned the bathroom since they opened in the early part of the day. The visit before my last one I had ordered some calamari and the way to disappeared and I didn't see him for almost 30 minutes; when he reappeared he explained to me that he was also on the lower level working as the bartender because about four staff members all went on lunch at the same time. What?!? Who is doing the lunch schedules for these individuals?!? I do notice that this restaurant has their faithful and loyal clientele to come on the regular and perhaps they have the mindset that those are the only ones that they need to serve and maybe they aren't concerned about new clientele; and with that being said, I think it's time for me to take my business elsewhere even though I do enjoy the food. read more

G-Bar is connected to the side of Giovanni's and is a regular after work happy hours spot for people who work nearby. The space is small, with just a couple little tables, a lot of bar seating, but not enough mingle room. The drinks range from $5-7 during happy hour which is a relatively good price. However, the margaritas are hit or miss. Not everyone there makes it the same and sometimes it tasted like they just threw ingredients together and called it a margarita. The sangria also isn't good, tastes cheap, so maybe stick to beer. I have had some wings which come from the restaurant and those are delicious! The pizza is also pretty good, especially the margarita. The calamari was chewy and not crispy enough for my liking but could've just been that day. I'd only go back when coworkers drag me along, there are better options. read more

Management is unreasonable. Last minute upwards price adjustment for group luncheon spoiled the ambience of the occasion. We were forced to take our business elsewhere read more

A friend who lives around the corner brought me here and it was so good I had to come back before leaving NYC. I had the baked ziti with the bruschetta both were delicious. I also enjoyed the sangria & a mojito. Some folks have complained about the service - I thought the service was GREAT! We sat at the bar and not only had great conversation with the bar tender but also with the regulars sitting at the bar. Enjoyed our meal, drinks & company - will for sure return. read more

No matter how good the food or drinks are, when the service is less than worst the whole experience is negative. FALSE ADVERTISING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The business advertises lobster special on Sunday and Monday's. We actually stopped in to ensure it was correct and were told that yes it is correct. Parked. Walked in. Got seated. Ordered drinks. Then the waitress told us the menu and advertisement is wrong and they do not serve lobster special today for advertised price. We called the manager. Toothless man confirmed he can not do anything about it and it is just what it is. Walked out. It is sad and quite disappointing that customer service means nothing to the business. read more

Lunch with my running friends after the Bronx 10-Miler. Not sure if they're used to larger groups with single orders. Lots of people seem to like the buffet. I don't eat heavy like that anymore. Food was good. read more

Wish they could get no stars. Growing up I loved this place. Used to go weekly and even knew some of the servers. I relocated and years later came back due to a death in the family. After grieving and going to grab food I made the only suggestion I was confident to be a great time. When we walked in a group of 5 no one greeted us and servers and runners stood at the end of the bar texting and staring at us. When I asked if we seat ourselves the girl said sit there or there pointing to 2 tables in an empty restaurant. We sat down and menus were put in a pile on the table and she left. Entrees go for almost $50 each which was fine is the service was up to par. From the beginning the server took awhile to take our drink order and when asked what bottled beverages she had she listed a few while rolling her eyes. When we asked for Pepsi she said all bottle beverages were at the pizza shop and we weren't allowed to have them. The two restaurants are connected and same owner so already I was annoyed. The girl continue rolling her eyes at us while she gave us bread and water. I left to go around the corner to purchase a bottled drink from the other side of the restaurant. When I came back I noticed my mom ordered coffee and was confused because she asked for cream and sugar but the waitress just stood in eyesight at the bar texting. I approached and asked if we did something to her to make her give us attitude and she kept giving me dirty looks and said if I was mad about the bottled beverages she has to follow the rules. I explained it was the whole interection. She then asked if I had a problem and I told her excuse me?? She repeated herself and I said u about to have a problem. I went to the table and told my family we were leaving. As we walked out a fat, African American older woman folding napkins started yelling at us callin us nasty and saying she's not the adddress she will do something. So I said no wonder your restaurant is empty, it's filled with trash and laughed at them. The girl kept yelling at us and calling us nasty bitches. How classy and professional of an establishment. No manager in sight, no other workers stepping in to diffuse the situation and just being so horrible on an already bad day we were having. Ghetto front of house staff but the audacity to charge almost $35-65 an appetizer. If you have the money go somewhere you are treated of value this place is not living up to the hype. Sooooo disappointed especially when i was a customer for years :( read more

My order consisted of crabcakes and lobster raviolis. The items were not fresh. For example, the filling for the lobster ravioli tasted like it was frozen then thawed a few times prior to cooking them. The crabcakes were a mixture of imitation and real crab meat, with no seasoning/ flavor and a lot of breading on the outside. No photos where provided due to my level of disappointment, and though of how much I would have enjoyed the Olive Garden instead. The service was okay. The breadbasket more-so the garlic knots where tasty and they make average to good pizza. read more

So sad that the food is great but yet the service was horrible. The customer service sucks, the drinks were nasty. I ordered a slice of pizza and took 45 minutes to come to the table when it was already made at the front. I won't ever go there again. Bartender was very rude. Good luck to the ones that waste their time. read more

G-Bar kind of sucked. I came here for my friend's birthday and despite having reservations and there being plenty of tables open, the staff kept trying to take away tables from us as we were waiting for our party to arrive. They were actually SUPER dick about it. I couldn't believe it... The drinks were pretty good. The smoothie drinks called the "berry refresher" and "fuzzy mango" were both very yummy. The fries here sucked. Seriously, you messed up a french fry. Good job. I would never come back here. Your semi-delicious yet overpriced drinks do not make up for your awful attitudes and poor food. read more

Note i posted this same review For Giovanni's they are the same place so wanted to post in G bar since most call it G bar Where do i start! So i have been to this establishment plenty of times so i really feel like i can give an overall review of this place. I like that the location is close to my job and home so when i do go there there is a easy commute and easy for people who are traveling from different places. I have come for Lunch, Brunch, drinks and Dinner. (BTW i never had their pizza) Lunch/Dinner the food is absolutely amazing i came with about 10 coworkers and we all ordered entrees and for 10 people ordering the food came pretty quick and everyone's food was hot i got the chicken parm. and it was really good. The serving sizes are big so i had plenty of food for the next day. everyone was satisfied with their food as well. I came a few times for dinner with friends and family. and no one has ever had a complaint about their food the Giovanni seafood is great too. during lunch hours its not crowded. Dinner hours get crowed but i have never made a reservation and i usually get seated. Drinks- Happy Hour from 3 to 6 Friday its really crowded nice atmosphere i will be back for that. Brunch went to brunch here about 4 times The last time i was here for brunch the waitress spilled about three to four mimosa's ALL OVER ME!!!!!! i did not bump her. I was an innocent bystander !!!!! anywho To my surprise when this happened the manager did not immediately come over i had to ask for him twice! WTF anywho when he did come over he comped my meal and offered to pay for my dry cleaning bill. so that was the least they can do. class was broke all over my chair and everything. anyway back to the food i guess anyway brunch is great here if you want to drink as many Bellini's and mimosa as your heart desires Other then that the food for brunch is nothing like the food they have regularly and can not be compared at all overall they get a 4 rating because of the location, great lunch, dinner and happy hour and the option for brunch. But seriously you have to go to lunch or dinner its worth the money oh yeah and the crab cake is great too. read more

Wanted get a meal and relax before going home, well I was in for a rude awakening. 1) The server had an attitude like she didn't really care what her tip would be. 2) The area where I sat had a serious bug problem. Gnats flying on me and my food I spent the entire meal swatting. 3) The meal was not worth the price. 4) The ambiance was horrible, the lights kept flickering and were so dimmed you could barely read the menu. 5) Service was barely okay, server never checked to see how the meal was. I will never step foot in this restaurant again. I will also make sure no one I know steps foot in this restaurant. Retrain your server and call an exterminator and electrician. Better yet let me contact the health department for you. read more

Classy, a real find. This is like a fancy mid-town bar, you can order any kind of cocktail and they know how to make it. The food is also good. (Get the coconut shrimp!) They stay open till midnight, but on weekdays a little later since people who work at the court house often stop by here. This is a great place for a date, or to watch a Yankees game-- but, without the "sports bar" feel. Often, they have live jazz or salsa music. read more

The drinks are delicious. I got a cosmo and a sex on the beach. The ambience is very lovely, and classy. The servers can sometimes be rude. And the food is tasteless. I ordered the lasagna and calamari and a cheese cake and i was disgusted. The food was bland and not worth it. The waiter was pretty standoffish. But i was. This spot is a drinks spot, but not for food read more

The drinks are great when you actually get to enjoy them. However the manager is horrible, he allows people to be overly intoxicated and harass other patrons. The picture below is a display of him engaging with a group of "regulars" who were so disruptive that other patrons left. Then the guys continued to be boisterous and try to speak with my group in a sexual manner. Despite our lack of interest and engagement the manager did nothing to stop this. Even after asking for help he said it looked like you like it, this made the men in the group comfortable enough to berate us. The manager again did nothing and continued to serve them alcohol despite them being too intoxicated to be able to drive. read more

So today while at work I ordered lunch from here and realized I have never reviewed this place and a few others that I frequent often........and this spot deserves a review due to the fact it is mixed..... So you have two side here.....Giovanni's and GBar.........however same establishment and managment.....this is the go to pizza spot in this area .....and overall the pizza is ok......I order online for delivery very often and the lunch menu prices are incorrect.....based off the online prices........I have yet to receive any kind of lunch price.... I actually find when I order delivery the portion is smaller and the tab is more.....but still the same quality of food......when I get delivery it is only pasta or salad.... Now this is the to go to happy hour for people who work in this area.....the happy hour is not that long and the drink deals are simply ok.....now I use to go here often and usually with a large group and we stay way pass the 7 happy hour......on some days the service is great......and they leave my tab running and I pay at the end of my evening.....then there are other times they make me pay before being served......the last time I went for happy hour it was for a coworker farewell .......we had food and appetizers.......mind you this was a night they kept giving us the tab to pay even thought we were not leaving and still ordering.....and each time we had left a tip......so I went to the bar to order a round of shots for my group.....and once again I was asked to pay......and I did......before my drinks were served.....the manager came over to me and said....hey.....why did you do this.....you did not leave a tip.......mind you I had already paid 2 checks and left tips......I had already give over $20 in tips.....and my friends had paid off tabs sent to the table as well.....before my drinks were served I had to give a tip......so needles to say I have not been back to the G Bar.....and I now order lunch from the Giovanni's side every blue moon when others do from my job. Don't get me wrong....food is good.....but never know what customer service will be like on that day... read more

The food is mediocre at best and it's damned pricey for what it is. The salads are from containers and jars; crab cakes are not fresh, it comes from a can. the sauces are greasy. The staff service comes and goes. yesterday i was there with a friend (because he likes the place; it is next to his job. he just eats pizza and drinks shelf wine there). The waiter brings food to me that isn't mine. i tell him to take it away and it isn't my order. He gets an attitude and walks away leaving the food in front of me. I ask the other waiter is something wrong with him. He says i shouldn't worry because the dude doesn't understand. he doesn't speak english. WTF. Entrees are nearly $20 - $26. They do a lot of business. Which is why I guess they don't care how they talk to people. For the money, Patsy's and any number of Italian restaurants do a better job. For the life of me, I cant understand how they are so popular. read more

Came on Father's Day to the Sunday Brunch. The place was COMPLETE mess !!! The rude head waiter told my father the tables by the brunch buffet were full and we needed to wait 45mins to be seated. We sat and waited at the pizza shop part of the restaurant and waited as we watched multiple tables by the brunch section become full and no one called us. Eventually we just got up and went to the buffet and continued to sit at the table by the pizza shop section . The food was Okay, not spectacular at all . The only thing that was good that we were looking forward too were the shrimp and clams . After a while they ran out and never refilled the buffet . Waited 15 minutes for coffee as well . Long story short . Don't bother to come here for the brunch . People just getting pizza seem like they were enjoying them self's but if your coming for the brunch DONT WASTE YOUR TIME !!!! read more

Awesome pasta. Came in on Friday night after 11 pm party of 7 after having a horrible time across the street in overrated Zona de Cuba. Anyway. We were seated promptly. Served water immediately along w yummy bread and warm delicious garlic knots. Ordered a round of drinks which were on point not watered down and ordered our food. Which was delicious and fresh. They had excellent service. Definitely my new pasta spot. Also nice ambience !! read more

My company had held our Christmas Party at this location so was able to try out their food. Though the drinks here are awesome, the food I thought was ok. I had the steak which was a bit overcooked which made it dry. I like my steak Medium so that you can taste the tenderness of the meat. My husband had the Veal which he enjoyed, but has definitely had better. Overall it was a great location to hold a company party and we all had a blast. Though a bit small, the place provide good accommodation and a nice ambiance. Worth checking out if your looking to host an event. read more

This place is pretty chill. The food is good and their drinks are strong. The bartender can be a little ditzy at times and that's what stopped me from giving it 5 stars but all in all I definitely recommend it. The mango madness martini and the Caribbean paradise frozen drinks are extremely strong (and for me this is a good thing). The chicken fingers are great, the bruschetta is my favorite appetizer there, the tortellini in a chicken broth soup is pretty decent and their fries are addictive! I will definitely be coming back here to try other things but maybe at a time when it's not so busy. P.S: they also have a happy hour but it was too late to try that, once I go back I'll give a review about that! read more

It's a great place to dine for a Sunday brunch. Didn't know they had an upstairs dinning. Food is good but it gets cold fast so don't talk and eat just eat.. lol. I love it when it's packed because it seems to come alive. The variety is aewsone as well. read more

Drinks from the new manager are horrible! Every week I try his drinks again and again. And I'm over it! I send them back and have to drink seltzer until another bartender comes in!

Why G-Bar wont get my fifth star (and why they are lucky they got my fourth): The place is beautiful. Lets be real. This establishment is like an oasis in a desert. As soon as you roll up, you are impressed with its appearance. The inside is even better looking: Restaurant, Lounge, and Bar area - all sharp! Next, the menu is quite extensive. Their liquor range is a little limited in the tequila department, but they do well overall in the rest. The menu is honestly a huge one to maintain. Moving on to service/waitstaff (here's where things got tricky): I'll start with the pros --- attentive busboys (I'm not so finicky about how often they come around to offer water as other people are), waiter that know his menu really well and offered all options possible, attractive hostess who handled her job nicely, and everyone looking rather uniform in dress. On the con side --- I came here to watch a friend perform some live music with her crew. I was dressed pretty sharp because I was expecting to party in Manhattan later. I was in the mood for dessert and a tea, because it was late. Guess what the waiter told me? You have to order food to sit here. "Huh?" You are ordering dessert, that does not count as food. "... but my food and tea together cost more than some of the food items on the menu." This is a business this is how they do it here. (Mind you, the place was NOT full and there were plenty of tables left AND I was sitting in a two seater) "(again)... but my items together cost more than some food items here." After some back and forth, he said, "Ill see what I can do (which should have been his first response, instead of arguing with me --- had my friend not been performing, I'd have left.)" He goes to speak with the manager and they let it go and let me sit. DUH! FUCKING DUH! I wasnt being a dick, nor was I trying to bust balls. I was trying to spend money. Funny enough, after that lil' ol' $13 bill, when my other guests arrived, we spent another $96 AND they stayed behind to drink even more after we cleared up that second bill. Speaking of the bill... I ask the waiter to let me pay my items separate. The other two were on a date and I wanted to make sure homie paid his share. Waiter wouldnt do it. Said it's "already on the bill" MFer I know POS systems and it's easy to adjust (is what I thought, but of course I smiled and said NO PROBLEM.) So, we get the bill and I when a waitress comes over to take payment, I tell her we want $32 on my card and the rest will come out of the other dudes cash. It took them going back and forth with us THREE TIMES for them to get it correct. HOWEVER, in their defense, the dude that was at my table DID try to underpay what his bill was. Exactly why I wanted to separate to begin with. I probably wouldnt have caught that unless the staff fucked up (PS: he still got the girl in the end, so moral of story is act really nice, but hardly speak and underpay to the embarrassment of your date and youll still get lucky.) Anyway, I would still recommend the place for people to eat at. Just understand that you might deal with a few frustrations before you get to the nitty gritty which is that the place is overall a very good establishment. read more

Went on a Saturday for brunch. The restaurant set up is a bit strange. G-Bar is a part of the Giovanni's which is on the corner but a separate restaurant. Not really sure but they are all connected inside. The brunch itself is a buffet with lots of options and a person there solely to make omelettes. Brunch is $28.95 per person and it includes 2 drinks free of charge. If you want to keep the party going, any brunch drinks (mimosa, bellini, champagne, bloody mary) is $2. Not bad at all. The food selection is good with a surprising amount of seafood. You can definitely find your happy place brunching here! read more

Gotta go with 4 stars considering the place in comparison to the other options around. Loved the decor and it does have a manhattan feel but in the bronx which I enjoyed. I was their for lunch with my boss and the food was okay but I have to go for dinner for a true assessment so this kind of a warm up review. The wine list was impressive. Best I've seen in the Bronx so I'll be back. Final note: If your in the BX the seems like a safe bet!! read more
