"We’re big fans of Giant, and we tell people to eat here as much as we can. It’s consistently exciting, and we have yet to find something on the menu we don’t like. They somehow manage to make a dish like broccoli with smoked pepper dressing a must-order, and you’ll also want to try their pastas, like saffron tagliatelle with dungeness crab and chili butter. The casual space has a lot of upbeat energy—it works equally well for date night or a small group dinner." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
