Giordano's

Giordano's did a great job. The food was good, the service was great. If you are from Chicago, you know what you are going to get at Giordano's. Here are the three things that frustrated me:
1. I received a call on Friday saying to confirm my party. Since my Mother-in-law (MIL) was dropping off items for the party, I told her to take care of the confirmation. I received a second phone call at 3PM saying that I needed to confirm my party for tonight or it would be cancelled. WTF? I call back, and they said that they needed confirmation from me even though my MIL had already been there to drop off a load of junk for the party. Odd.

2. The bathroom needed to be serviced midway through our event. I found someone to take care of it immediately.

3. We put a credit card down on file. As the party started to end, there was about 15 of us lingering around. Exhausted, I left with my Maid of Honor about a half hour later. Then, the head waitress comes up to my husband and says that they need the final payment. They offer to "chase that lady [me] down the street" much to the amusement of the remaining guests. My husband offers up his card without any further problem.

My sister and I both used Giordano's Pizza for our rehearsal dinners. It is a great option in Chicago because out-of-town friends and family always enjoy deep-dish "Chicago Style Pizza". It's so simple to order and also inexpensive because most people only have 1 or 2 slices (they are huge!).
