"Verdana French Bistro doesn’t actually exist. The scene in “Sundae” where Sydney visits the restaurant to get advice was filmed at Logan Square’s Giant, and its actual chefs can be seen working in the background. Grab a seat at the kitchen counter or on the patio for tempura trout roe bites, a beautiful plate of pasta, and a spritz." - Ashok Selvam
"One of our favorite spots in Logan Square is Giant. And in the summer you can take advantage of their fenced-in back patio, which you might not realize exists since you can’t see it from the street. Once there, you can pretty much go with anything on the menu—we’ve yet to find something we don’t like. The broccoli and cheese is a must-order, and you’ll also want to try their pastas, like the tagliatelle with crab and uni butter." - adrian kane, john ringor
"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
"Prized among Logan Square residents since its founding in 2016, Giant — helmed by chef Jason Vincent, a finalist for the James Beard Foundation’s 2022 Outstanding Chef award — continues to pump out big, bold flavors in a narrow neighborhood space. Vincent is also behind Chinese American restaurant Chef’s Special Cocktail Bar in Bucktown." - Eater Staff
"A celebrated Chicago restaurant led by Chef Jason Vincent, known for its creative menus and participation in charity events." - Ashok Selvam
