Lounge 35 Eleven - Greensboro

SO excited to make this review! I recently visited Gia Eat Drink Listen with my family after graduation, and it was the most phenomenal dining experience we've ever had. The restaurant has an upscale, Mediterranean vibe that feels both elegant and welcoming. One unique aspect of their service is that they bring out the food as it's ready, rather than waiting for everyone's meal to be prepared. It was a different experience, but it made everything feel fresh and exciting. The appetizers were so amazing that we forgot to take pictures before diving in. The cauliflower was to die for, and the truffle fries were absolutely immaculate. The highlight of the meal was the Hiramasa fish special with lemon risotto. The unique flavor profiles made my taste buds scream with delight. The drinks were on a whole other level, each made with handmade ingredients that came together in ways I had never experienced before. After trying several, my favorite was the Pear Cocktail--it was absolutely incredible. Though Gia is definitely more upscale and pricey, it's worth every penny. The combination of exceptional food, unique drinks, and impeccable service made for an unforgettable evening. We'll definitely be back!

The food was good although the only thing i tried was the truffle fries. You can never go wrong with a big bowl of fries to share for the table and these were perfect for sharing. The espresso martini was super good and my fav thus far. I also had the margarita and it was great as well but I have had better. The service was amazing our server was very attentive and quick to serving us. I absolutely loved the dim lights that give a nice date night environment. The big heavy curtains also add to the gorgeous decorative and dark vibe but still very romantic!

My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate an anniversary after this place had been on my list for a while. I am a sucker for speakeasies and although this really isn 't one, I still wanted to check it out. GIA doesn 't claim to be a hidden speakeasy, but the interior definitely gives more of those vibes. I liked the atmosphere in general and thought it was a nice place for a date! We definitely had to try out the cocktails, which we both liked! And then we opted to go with shared plates for a meal. My boyfriend really loved the cavatelli although for me the glaze was a little too strong/too peanuty. The eggplant was good and I 've never had it with honey drizzle but that was an interesting touch. You can never go wrong with sliders, and this was probably both of our favorite dish. Octopus was a try something new dish for us and although it wasn 't our favorite, I 'm glad we have it a shot! No complaints at all about the service! For our special occasion, they also offered us a free dessert off of the menu. I went with the limoncello cake and it was absolutely delicious! I wish I could have one of those every week. The tagline for GIA is drink, eat, listen. But I was definitely missing the listen part of the experience. That part definitely came in under my expectations as I thought there may be some live musical performers or something else musically unique. Aside from that, I would definitely recommend!

The prosciutto and arugula pizza is delicious! The servers are very nice, and the restaurant is beautiful! One thing, make sure you check that the coffee is fresh.

This place has my heart. Love the ambiance!! The people that work here are amazing. And the food, is absolutely delicious. We love sitting at the bar, and watching all the craft cocktails be made. Sunday Brunch is the best. The menu selection is diverse with breakfast items and non breakfast items. It's hard to decide. I recommend sharing plates. One of my Greensboro favorites!!
