a diner from Iowa City, IA
I've been to Givanni's multiple time every other week for several months, the food has always been halfway decent but the other night I was extremely dissatisfied by the quality of service we were given.
We were seated next to 4 drunks (very, very drunk), 2 old guys and 2 college girls, they proceeded to talk about extremely sexually explicit experiences they've had and gave each other foot messages while my party was trying to eat, this was at 6 p.m. by the way. The waitstaff knew about it and did nothing and after calling the manager it turns out she knew about it as well. My party asked to be moved to a different table and were allowed to do so but the idea that we even needed to ask is unacceptable.
I hope the money they made giving these drunkards more and more wine was worth the customers they will have lost because we do not plan on ever going back. Luckily, there were no children around. The manager seemed unconcerned on the phone and said she hoped we'd come back with a giggle.

On a rare visit to Iowa City, I decided try something different for lunch. While not fantastic, Masala Indian Vegetarian was indeed a new experience, in that it's both vegetarian and Indian, and definitely worth trying.

My family and I really enjoy our experiences here. The service has always been spot on. The food from soup to main dishes are excellent. Such a variety, we have a vegan a vegetarian and meat eaters in our group and there is something for everyone.

We chose his restaurant during our romantic get away. The prices were extensive with extremely small portions. My husband, who is NOT a big eater, left feeling hungry. I had a double house salad that proved to be the same size as his side salad, j
