text: Ripped Off At Giada Let me start by saying that I never even bothered to eat at the restaurant after my experience at the bar Four of us sat down for a cocktail before dinner We ordered two Vodka with juice on the rocks a beer and a margarita When we got the bill we were charged per vodka drink with an additional charge per Vodka for The Rocks I asked what that charge was and he said it is always more for on the rocks in Vegas I have been to Vegas hundreds of times and two of my friends with us live in Vegas We said we NEVER heard of a per drink charge for on the rocks We asked if we had ordered the Vodka and not said on the rocks would he have given us ice We also asked if we ordered wout ice would it cost less He could not answer except to say that is how it is in Vegas I was so frustrated by his stupid explanation and bewildered look we just left and vowed NEVER to eat there nnLater that night we told some other Vegas locals about it and they shared a horror story as well about there recent experience at Giada They had Pm reservations and arrived at The hostess told them they were backed up and to go get a drink and come back in minutes The bar in the restaurant is tiny so they had to go downstairs to get a drink The crowds were busy and by the time they got their drinks it was time to be seated the hostess told them they cannot bring the drinks in from outside They told the hostess she told them to go get the drinks she said sorry either leave the drinks or gulp them down but you cannot bring them in It was worth of drinks They guzzled them down and were seated and waited FOREVER to be served and all they had to say was the food was fair at best the service poor and the prices way too highnnBTW I have never given a star review before I am NOT the angry kind of customer and generally only leave good reviews of places I enjoy This experience aggravated me so much I had to tell it like it is
