Giardino's - Abington

The food was excellent. We got bruschetta appetizer. Very good and plentiful and a great price. My husband got the grilled pork chop and I got steak tips. He loved the pork, best he's had and we know pork is hard to get right. My steak tips were amazing. I really did cut them with my fork. However, we will not be back. The decor was nice but the lighting was up so high you needed sunglasses. The worst part? The music. It was loud and heavy metal. It was awful and certainly did not go with the idea of an Italian Steakhouse. We mentioned it to our waitress and she said tonight was the bartenders choice. Okay, so play it in the bar area, not where people are trying to enjoy a nice night out. Such a waste fantastic food.

Meh. I ordered the chicken broccoli Alfredo and the chicken pieces were so thick and hard to chew, it was just unenjoyable. Some pieces of broccoli were cooked perfectly and others were very hard. My Diet Coke was flat and food took a looooong time to come out even though there were only a handful of tables. My cousins ordered salads but the steak dinner came out first? It was really odd. The bread also just wasn't good, it didn't taste right and didn't seem thoroughly cooked. Service was great and the inside was really nice but it took way too long for our dishes to come out considering 2 of the 6 were salads and the other two was a kids mac and cheese and pizza

Don't waste your time and money in this place. I went for Mother's Day for lunch and the food seemed reheated, with a very bad appearance. I chose meat with a terrible flavor, my children barely ate it and not even the dessert option was good. To top it off, the price was absurd and they charge a mandatory tip of 20%.

Not worth the price; the food quality and portion sizes are not what you would expect for the amount charged. The meat and cheese board is lame for $28 considering the variety of meat and cheese is non existent and the meat is below deli quality; it's supposed to be served with fruits and jams but had a few rotten strawberries. I would rather eat at the Olive Garden.

We sat in the bar side which is casual but a bit noisier than the dining room. Our server was friendly and accommodating. The red sangria was delicious with a hint of raspberry. The creative grilled avocado sandwich with gooey cheese was tasty, although the bottom slice of toasted bread was soggy by the time I got to the second half. (I suggested serving it vertically, in a wire basket, such as those for fish and chips so the vegetable juices drain off. The Brussels sprouts that I substituted for the fries were tender but not overcooked. The bacon cheeseburger with mashed potatoes was satisfactory.
