Beautiful restaurant with good service. Food just okay. Great coffee which is vital for breakfast. $40+ for bacon and eggs with coffee and tip, really pricey.....yes I know it going to be expensive in the casino. Eggs were runny, asked for well done bacon and didn't get it. Should be better than that. read more

Had a takeout fritatta. Was pretty decent! The egg was fluffy and consistent, and the cheese was nicely melted on top. The vegetables were finely diced and decently incorporated into the egg. The side potatoes were tasty enough, though texturally they could have been a bit more creamy and smoother in texture. The smoothies were light and refreshing. read more

This restaurant is inside of the Encore casino. That's neither a good thing nor a bad thing but certainly good information if you're visiting! The food was good overall but came at slightly inflated prices even compared to the rest of the Boston area. The service was a little slower on the day I went but it was fine generally speaking. If you enjoy casinos and that type of Vegas experience this might be the place for you. read more

First and foremost our service from Patricia for breakfast was amazing! The chicken and waffles was very delicious, and never thought i would say this but their glass of orange juice was a great portion size and delicious. This restaurant is really nice to look at so solid ambiance. read more

Came here for breakfast and taking advantage of our Amex platinum credit (must be used on breakfast items only). The prices are your typical resort prices, $25 for a simple eggs and meat breakfast or omelette so it was very easy to spend the breakfast credit. The food overall was good, but nothing to write home about. The service was excellent as it should be for the prices and where you are staying. It's located on the second floor off the resort elevators and high limit slots. You don't get too much noise and depending on where you are seated, you can overlook the indoor garden. read more

As someone who's overlooked hotel restaurants in the past, my husband and I have recently been proven wrong. One standout was Giardino, located on the 2nd floor of the Encore Hotel (& Casino) in Everett, MA, just a bit outside Boston. Giardino is a breath of fresh air. With soft greens and light yellow gem tones throughout. The space feels elegant, airy, and bright--perfect for a relaxed morning meal. Since we had a 3+1/2 hr drive home, we decided to grab breakfast with our daughter (who lives nearby and met us here). From the moment we were greeted at the host stand to the second we sat down, the service was spot-on. Everyone brought their A-game. Our server, Debbie(?) was a gem. No-nonsense but incredibly friendly and attentive, with the perfect balance of being helpful without hovering. I had my doubts on their "fresh squeezed" oj- because let's be real- menus at times say fresh squeezed and ends up tasting like Tropicana. But my girl assured me it was legit. She was right. My daughter enjoyed her veggie omelette+home fries. My husband stuck with his go-to: Greek yogurt+ berries and a side of bacon. I went for a plain toasted bagel+lox+the works (minus capers). Everything was delicious. The salmon was perfectly sliced thin, tomatoes+onions were fresh and flavorful, and the cream cheese was served on the side- just how I like it. Overall, it was a fantastic breakfast experience. Sure, it's a hotel restaurant, so prices are on the higher side- but honestly, they weren't unreasonable at all. Bonus: if you gamble downstairs, you automatically earn points that can be used towards dining here. We're not gamblers, but we'll absolutely be dining at Giardino again the next time we stay at Encore. read more

Enjoyed breakfast here twice during my stay. Service was spot on and my meals were tasty. The English muffin with the eggs Benedict might rank up in the top I've had. Being that this is a casino restaurant, I loved the option of a BLT for an early breakfast and it did not disappoint! Prices are high and you need to be careful when you order a juice- the one listed on the menu is a small but the waiters consistently bring you a large and charge you $9.95. It wasn't very busy when we went so nice and relaxing. If you can get a seat on the terrace, I recommend it! read more

Ok the Encore does everything right, including serving a beautiful breakfast! Made a res online since I didn't know how busy the restaurant would be in the hotel on a Friday around check out time, so we were promptly seated. The decor, just like the rest of the Encore, is so upscale & beautiful and reminiscent of Vegas. Our servers were extremely professional & prompt. Everything we ordered was plated so beautifully and also was delicious. I've never experienced this before, but over my avocado toast the server grated a hard boiled egg table side. What a unique experience, and honestly the grated egg was super tasty. When my husband's fruit plate & side of toast came out, we both said wow! Huge portions, fresh & tasty. I cant wait to visit the Encore and Giardinos again! read more

We had a disappointing breakfast at Giardino. We are fairly frequent visitors to the Encore when we are in Boston -- we have enjoyed the Garden Café, we love the ambiance and the service is top-notch, very welcoming (we were happy to see Acresio). This is our second time to Giardino, the service continues to be superior, but the experience went downhill from there. We had always enjoyed our meals - they have been well-prepared with fresh ingredients - but not this time. Both of our omelets looked slapped together and were very greasy. My Vegetable Omelet was filled with frozen spinach and a few other random tiny vegetables, flavorless and frankly, gross. My husband said it was the worst omelet he had all year, and we go out to breakfast 2-3 times a week. We expect more from the Encore and we expect more from well-respected local restaurateurs. We never had a bad meal when it was the Garden Café. read more

The best Encore has to offer before 3pm. The staff and service are excellent, from the hosts to the waitstaff! Check it out it's worth it.

Been here many times, from it's original incarnation as ' Garden Cafe' through the current 'Giardino' theme. Service here is patchy, today did not get offered refill of iced tea, for example. Food has always been okay - never amazing - but it's the only breakfast sit-down place in Encore casino. Today, made the mistake of ordering Steak and Eggs, with no potatoes or toast. Pretty steeply priced at $36.99. When it came out, I was shocked at the tiny portion of steak - 4oz, maybe not even. Taste was okay, but no A5 Wagyu here, lol. Talk about shrink-flation! Menu does not mention the diminutive size of the steak, of course. Will not be supporting this establishment any more after maybe 100+ visits. read more

The service at this restaurant was incredibly disappointing. We were seated at a table and waited for over twenty minutes without any greeting from the staff. Despite the restaurant not being crowded at the time, our waiter rudely waved us off when we tried to get his attention. When we finally asked to speak to the manager, he informed us that he was currently dealing with a communication issue. To make matters worse, the server who finally approached our table was the same one who had previously been rude to us. read more

The food, service and ambience are amazing at this brunch venue! Our waiter Francisco was So friendly and attentive and ensured that we had hot coffee refilled whenever our cups were low ! The food was delicious and came out right on time . Outstanding service and I really appreciate that he brought me a thoughtful tiramisu for my birthday even though it was breakfast !! I will definitely return to this wonderful restaurant!! read more

We had a lovely lunch (frittata and flatbread) here yesterday to celebrate my husband's birthday. Staff were so friendly and thoughtful. They brought out a slice of chocolate tiramisu with a candle. We will return! Thank you! read more

The quality, taste, and portions absolutely do not justify the ridiculous price point. Omelets are not served with toast and it's $6.95 to add on. The customer service is overly nice - the amount of times we were pitched items we didn't want was silly. It's telling because I only go here because I can use casino comps and it has always been dead. read more

lovely location in the encore establishment, second floor overlooking the entrance harder area, service was very pleasant, cubano was good, as were the pancakes (and a lot of pancakes)..whole area is lovely, food good but everything was pricey, so a martini, a sandwich and pancake is $100.....ouch!! ok it is a casino! read more

This was our first time eating here since it changed from " The Garden" to "Giardino's" and the food (and drinks!) were terrific! Patricia was our server, and she was so good that we asked for her when we went there the second morning. She was very attentive, but not overbearing, and had several recommendations for the food (including restaurants in the North End - Italian, for those of you not local!) One morning we ordered pancakes and brioche fresh toast. You'd better be hungry for those breakfasts, which were fabulouS 3 large, fluffy pancakes with REAL maple syrup, and two 1" think slices of the French toast. The previous day we had the smoked salmon toast for breakfast--it was like an avocado toast but better!! We could probably eat there every day of the week and not get tired of the options!! Will definitely return. read more

I had the tenderloin flat bread and it was so tasty. I ordered a fresh juice and it turned out the just be "pressed" brand right out of the bottle which was disappointing. Service was attentive and the restaurant looks like it's right out of Paris. read more

Small menu limited food choices. But for a breakfast place is good enough. Very clean. Very fresh.

Amazing service and good. Very comfortable and casual environment. The steak and eggs were delicious and the calm inviting space is great for a start to the day in Boston. The manager Spiro is fantastic and went above and beyond to ensure us tourist types were well informed before venturing into the city. read more

Service was great, food marginal. Clam chowder not the worst I've had but not my favorite. Tried the steak tips which were cooked perfectly. Flavor was sweet with Italian flavors. The Italian potatoes needed more seasoning besides the pepper and onion from that it came with. Warm, not crispy and bland. read more
