Giant is a foodie gem and I cannot believe it took us several years to check it out. They have a cute patio outside where we enjoyed fantastic service and unique food choices. Pastas were rich and tasty. I could not snap pictures fast enough- they were “flying” of the plate.

Food is unbelievable, unique and unexpected. Menu is weird but whatever you order of by following the server recommendations you’re good. Definitely a place to try.

Easily one of our top 3 restaurants in Chicago. Solid service, food, and ambience. Look forward to returning. Recommend they publish a cookbook!

This is a Gem outside of the downtown area of Chicago!! Booked here based on reviews and it fantastic! Highly recommend the scallops, steak, and pasta! I tried to get pictures, but the food went quick!! Service was great and very accommodating. Loved this part of the city as well! This is a must try if you’re looking for something delicious and not part of the bustle of downtown.

The best dinner that we've had in Chicago. Unbelievable. Lived up to the hype. Every dish could stand on its own as worthy of coming back just for that dish. The service is impeccable, and I'm pretty sure Jason Vincent brought out every dish. We got the super uni shooters, the Jonah crab salad, the eggplant, the miso halibut, the pici, and the cajeta ice cream. I would recommend every dish. Our personal favorite was the pici, because it was probably the best pasta I've tasted since Italy. I'm already dying to go back to try all of the other dishes that we have yet to try. Highest recommendations.

Came in for a birthday dinner with my husband. Made a reservation a week in advance. Reservations do require a card on file in case of late cancelation where a fee is charged. When entering we were greeted by the hostess and sat at a two top. Seating is VERY close quarters, to get into the booth seat, she needed to pull the table out so I could squeeze past our neighbors. Our server Sam was extremely friendly and tentative. Both rounds of drinks took a while to be brought to the table and we did have two dishes served to us prior to our first round of cocktails arriving. There was one male food runner who brought a couple dishes out and didn't explain what they were so we had to look back at our menu and try to figure it out. The jalapeño corn bread was AMAZING, and paired so well with the maple butter. Onion rings were a bit over done, the breading was just falling off. The pasta dishes were both delicious. 5-6 plates is enough for two people to share. Very interesting spot and would consider stopping back in when the next food/drink menu is put out.

The food, as always, is phenomenal. Two weeks ago we made a reservation at the chefs table (which is a counter in front of the food prep area). Once seated i noticed a smell of hibiscus and cedar and asked the chefs what dish that was. Turns out it was the scented candles from the bathrooms that were right behind us! Go for great food but sweet baby jeebus avoid the chefs table!

Wow, was I absolutely floored on my most recent trip to Giant. I'd like to think of myself as a retired Yelp reviewer, but I'm coming out of retirement to talk about just how impressed I was on my most recent trip to Giant was. I've been several times now and the food has always been excellent, but today I'm here to talk about the service. My boyfriend and I went to Giant last night to celebrate our anniversary, and due to a backup in the kitchen, we were seated just under 30 minutes later than our reservation time. This didn't really bother us because it was a beautiful night and the neighborhood was lovely to walk around, however, Giant took this very seriously. They went way way WAY above and beyond to show us how sorry they were for the delay by gifting us champagne, several dishes, and a dessert, all completely on the house. We were so appreciative of the initiative, and it only deepened our love of this restaurant. Giant is a prime example of a restaurant that values hospitality to the same degree that they value the quality of their food, which is something that you don't see all that often. Giant is easily one of my top 3 all-time favorite places to eat in Chicago based on their food alone, and the service-first experience we had last night just reaffirmed my opinion that Giant is one of the best restaurants Chicago has to offer. Bravo, Giant, keep up the excellent work.

Bucatini, Sortallini, jalapeño biscuit, all good! The peppers were not my favorite. I wish they had a bit larger menu, but interesting options for sure. I think we also had anchovy bread. I'd go for the flank steak or fish as well next time. The butter for the bread was really great. Everything had unique flavor and the Pinot noir was nice. Highlight was the dessert crepe! That was amazing, save some room! The service was pleasant. It's a little tight in there but we were comfortable. Didn't realize how many good restaurants are situated in Logan Square. Need to venture over more. Thank you

I've had the privilege of eating at some of the best restaurants this city has to offer, but out of all the top rated spots I've been to, Giant is definitely my favorite. The first time I ate here was truly a mind blowing experience. Everything on the menu seems pretty unassuming at first, but you experience a flavor bomb of epic proportions after the first bite of any of their dishes. I had no idea that vegetables could be elevated to such a high level. And the surprise I've experienced from these dishes has left a lasting impression on my palate. Giant is a New American restaurant that's run by national award winning chef Jason Vincent, Ben Lustbader, and Josh Perlman. Vincent and Lustbader worked together with Jason Hammel at Lula Cafe and again at the now closed Night Wood in Pilsen. Giant opened in 2016 and received much deserved acclaim from local foodies, critics, and various food publications. Not only does the menu go through some seasonal changes, but existing fan favorites are elevated even more and end up tasting even better. The first two items I have tried here were the biscuit and trout row bite. It was the best biscuit I've ever had and the maple butter that comes with it is delicious. I can't recall ever eating a biscuit that was so soft and moist. And the trout roe bite delivers a burst of flavor that indubitably hypes you up for what's to come. The first vegetable dish I got to try was the broccoli and I was blown away. Never in a million years would I ever think that a plate of broccoli could taste so good. I was so taken aback and surprised by how delicious this was. I mean, this is broccoli we're talking about here! This is what makes Giant so great. Up next was the Jonah crab salad with waffle fries and Japanese eggplant. The waffle fries were the best I have ever had and pretty much ruined all other fries for me. I've never been a fan of eggplant, but I ordered it due to the rave reviews it's received from foodies. It comes with pita bread that's apparently based off a pizza dough recipe from the first restaurant Jason Vincent worked at. This is one of my favorite dishes of theirs and is something I will order every single time. It completely changed the way I think about eggplant. Up next were the peppers that come with anchovy bread and those are also a must order. Then there's the carrots and once again I was taken aback by the sauce, the surrounding crunchiness of whatever the hell they top them with and just the fact that carrots could taste this good. I also ate the onion rings and they were the best I've had. Now, I have only ever had okonomoyaki once, but this one was way better than that one. Very tasty. You must order at least a few pasta dishes here. I've tried the bucatini, sortalini, tagliatelle, chiromante and they are absolutely stellar. The bucatini is probably my favorite, but they are all amazing and my favorite pasta dishes in the city. And that is truly saying something. The only protein dish I've eaten from here is the flank steak and that too is delicious. I've eaten the entire dessert menu and they are some of the finest in the city. It's hard to pick a favorite, but I think the crepes suzette is just a little better than the other two. There really is no wrong choice, though. Also, the service here is top notch. The staff has been incredibly friendly, accommodating and enthusiastic. Like I've mentioned before, this is my favorite restaurant and I would eat here once a week if I could. I wish I lived in Logan Square just so I can order carry out! The Yelpers who give this place 1 star are clearly fools, delinquents, and charlatans who deserve to be in jail. Don't listen to them! Listen to me! I am an ELITE yelper, after all. Oh god. What has become of me? I used to have hopes and dreams, you know. I guess my life took one too many wrong turns. Now look. I'm sure the chefs here hate people like me..... Anyways! The cuisine at Giant is creative and eclectic, so do yourself a favor and book a reservation ASAP!
