114 Syndicate Ave N, (Justice Ave across from Courthouse), Thunder Bay, ON P7C 3V4, Canada
This sophisticated eatery offers upscale Italian pasta, meat & seafood dishes, plus a full bar.
One of the best dining experiences I’ve had. Great atmosphere, amazing food, and out of this world service. The whole staff was great, and our server Trevor takes a pride in his work that is far too rare and certain to add to any guest’s experience. He simplifies the menu, has a great knowledge of both the food and drinks offered, and has impeccable service. Thanks Trev!
Okay don't get me wrong the food is amazing and the best quality! But the second experience that I had here definitely didn't come close to the first time Staff were dropping forks on the ground, got elbow in the face and which whatever fine accidents happen....but the fact they added a tip to our bill without asking was kind of a slap in the face ( or an elbow which I got) I definitely do not think the server should have got a $50 tip on a $200 bill which the sloppy service... I don't think I would go back to this restaurant with the fact that we are forced to pay a tip when service was not great.. which makes me sad because the food it amazing. I can't justify paying for crappy service. I definitely would not recommend.
Not sure whether the food was better than the service. Both were amazing. Perhaps our new restaurante of choice in Thunder Bay. Trevor is amazing. Attention to detail like no other. ❤️❤️❤️
I'll admit, i can be hard to please at times, having lived and eaten well in Toronto for 20 years... This place is one not to miss! Excellent food and service. You will have a great meal and experience here. A diamond in the rough.
Happened upon it on our last night in town. What a find- the food was phenomenal (calamari and bolognese), but the true magic was the server- he made the evening. He was impeccable and charming and a rare treasure. Highly recommend!!
I visited few weeks ago. Such a great experience from our fantastic server Trevor (always amazing and truly detail skilled), food was delicious, I loved the thematic. Totally recommended. (Edited my review to post the photos of Northen Delights menu 2022)
My wife and I went here for a nice Italian dinner, and the service and food were exceptional. We shared a starter, a salad, a pasta special, and the rack of lamb and then had some room for desserts and coffee/tea. The house pinot grigio was very nice too. We highly recommend Giorg Cucina e Barra in Thunder Bay.
Want to start out saying the staff are awesome, super attentive and helpful with the menu. Was recommended an appetizer and main and they were amazing. The food was on point, the atmosphere was great and the service was fantastic. Would definitely come back!
Amazing place! Will revisit for sure!
Had an excellent dinner with my wife. Trevor was extremely helpful and made the dinner experience that much better!
Cozy atmosphere. Excellent service. Grateful tasting meal!
The food is good, service was amazing. Great restaurant to go to for date night. Parking: Lots of parking by the courthouse
Food, service and atmosphere are all incredible. A flawless experience. Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian pasta Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating to my nut and fish allergies
Zucca ravioli was divine and the service outstanding, thank you very much
This review is from my 9 and 6 year old boys and my husband and I. Shout out to the best chef, Jess. And to all the amazing staff. The food was amazing!will be back soon!
Went for dinner last night with my wife. Service was great the food was very good. I would say with the atmosphere, food, and great service it was a pleasure.
Exceeded expectations in every category! Every dish was delicious but the veal tomahawk especially stood out. The server Trevor was hospitable, funny, and knew the menu inside out. Additionally, everyone else we interacted with was friendly and professional. Highly recommended!
The food here is incredible and the service is really over the top. Our server was Maria who did a wonderful job. The other workers are also wonderful. This was the best eating experience I ve had in a very long time
Holy cannoli
If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. Best service in Thunder Bay. Thanks to the entire team and special shoutout to our server Trevor!
Our waitress Janet was really great. The staff made sure our drinks were always full and checked on us a lot during our meal. So appreciative of the great service.
Unfortunately my boyfriend and I did not share the same impeccable service mentioned in other reviews when we dined here. I made us an 8:30 pm reservation. Upon being seated, we were not greeted by a server for 10+ minutes. It took 30 minutes just to get our drinks. The food was delicious (3 course meal) but it doesn t make up for the slow service we received. We truly felt as if we were a forgotten table the entire evening. It s too bad we had a poor experience overall, as we were really looking forward to our date night at Giorg, especially because of the many roaring reviews found on here.
Wow! What a great dining experience! The service was over the top. What a great bunch of people - all were smiling, attentive, friendly. Very nice atmosphere, obviously-pleased patrons and tasty food with nice portions. After an appetizer, perfectly toasted dipping bread, and a shared salad, we were able to take home some pasta leftovers (which is rare for us.) Great wine selection and helpful recommendations. As first-time visitors to Thunder Bay, we drove by a lot of restaurants before choosing this one. It just felt right, and it was wonderful from the moment we stepped in the door. A lovely dinner to celebrate our anniversary - if we return to the area, we will eat here again.
Food and service was the best of the best.
Absolutely phenomenal food, service and atmosphere! Planned a party for 25, they were extremely helpful throughout the entire process!!
Our dinner experience was fantastic. The food was excellent and the service was absolutely exemplary. It was hands down the best service I have ever experienced. Our server and the other restaurant staff were attentive, made great recommendations, and were lovely to chat with. We had an appetizer, salad, pasta entrees, and lemon cake and each was more delicious than the last.
I cant tell you enough how great this restaurant is. Youre welcomed by staff who want to take your coat in this cozy, romantic atmosphere. You are seated with the wide profile wine menu with many by the glass, half litre, bottle selections. The staff are well trained in the varietals and can guide you through your preferences. The food menu is not too big/small. It also doesnt veer far from traditional Italian. The server kept his eye on us the entire time without being in our face. The attention to details and service from this server was unprecedented in Thunder Bay. Each menu item nailed the style with some elevation. I highly recommend this restaurant for a date night or special occasion.
Went there for a cooking class at 6 pm. The staff were friendly, engaging and responsive to everyone. However, the class provided no hors deoeuvres until 730pm (which was not too bad). However, from 730 until 10:07 there was no other food served. When the dinner did come, the food was marginal at best (especially for $200 + price point) the timing of the food was off, some of the food was not hot and then dinner wrapped up at 1030pm. I wouldnt recommend attending one of these classes
Just came from a birthday at Giorg. Exceptional food and service! Back to my #1 in Thunder Bay. Good Job!
Fabulous experience. The service is second-to-none and the menu is wonderful. Food was very very good.
Good food and good wine! The waiters were great and super helpful with recommendations.
Great experience! Would 10/10 recommend and can not wait to be back!
Excellent service. Stellar food. Great restaurant atmosphere. Just go!
Absoluting amazing food. Service is impeccable, the servers seem to really enjoy their job and take pride in it.
Dined out with friends and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Very good service, food and atmosphere. We started with a charcuterie plate to share followed by salads and delicious pasta dishes. Our waiter was knowledgeable and very pleasant. Sadly we had no room for dessert. Menu is different than on web site.
Outstanding food, and exceptional service
We personally want to thank Trevor you could not ask for a more professional head waiter here do not ever get rid of him he was the best oh by the way your food was to die for the best resturant we would say right here in thunder bay once again thankyou from our hearts Trevor you are number 1 bill and susie Dec 21st 730pm sitting
It is truly the best experience and food I had in many months. Thank you for great food and perfect service.
Recently, I have been reviewing and posting about places I have visited from time to time, and I have also received some positive feedback from Google. I feel that I have helped others, and I am very happy! So I thought about recording the places I have been to before, especially our family s self-driving journey experience across Canada from August to November 2021, hoping to help friends in need! Let s start with the place that impressed me the most today. We went to this Italian restaurant when we visited Thunder Bay in late October last year. The appearance of the restaurant is very low-key. We walked around the door twice without knowing it. Later, we saw a few people pushing open the door next to us and entering, and then we realized that the restaurant was right next to us. Due to the epidemic, the tables in the restaurant are widely spaced, making them appear extra spacious. The waiters are very enthusiastic, friendly and professional. The shape, color and taste of the dishes are quite good. The waiter even proudly said that the tomatoes are local and they are really delicious. Their cocktails were also very good and I drank one after another.
Excellent food and service!
Friday night I had the pleasure of celebrating my 30th birthday at Giorg. We had a reservation for about 30 people. Staff was amazing, atmosphere was perfect and the food WOW! I had Selected a prefixed menu and I will be dreaming of that pasta for weeks, so tasty!!!! Everything was perfect. Thank you to all the great staff that worked that night.
Great staff dinner with the sharing/family menu. There was way too much food, which they kindly packed up for us to take home. This is my favourite restaurant in town for good reason!
Great Italian food! 10/10
Awesome restaurant experience with delicious and fantastic Italian dishes. Our server, Trevor, was absolutely amazing and helped to space out/organize our dining experience perfectly. We ordered the arancini to start followed by the blood orange salad. Both were unreal! For our mains we ordered the Dry-aged bistecca and the Fettucinne alla Giorg. Truly unbelievable. We finished with a chocolate Budino and pistachio/dark chocolate cannolis. The experience was by far the most upscale and fine dining in Thunder Bay by far. The food and service were truly awe-inspiring - thank you Trevor and la squadra di cucina
It was just too delicious!
Amazing food even better service. Truly a hidden gem for Thunder Bay highly recommend.
Past Scotia and Kyle are idiots for not going here before. I have never had such wonderful high end service and the freshest food possible. This is thunder babys ultimate fine dining
The dinner was fantastic. Excellent service and great atmosphere. After a week we visited there, I was craving the same pasta I had there. Id love to go back to this restaurant next time we visit family in Thunder Bay. - Fettuccine alla Giorg (small size) $21 - Caesar alla Giorg (small size) $8 *This combination was perfect amount of portion for me!
Best restaurant in town
Great atmosphere, food, and timing of food. Also our server Trevor was fantastic, all the gold stars!
It is a fantastic place. The food has never ever disappointed, the service, the ambiance regardless of the size of the group or the occasion is always fitting. Thank you for everything you all do, and for creating the experiences and the moments we will always cherish.
Our server, Tyler, was incredible. Ive never been greeted with such a smiling face and knowledge of the menu! The food was absolutely amazing, and definitely worth it for the price.
We were looking for a new experience in Thunder Bay. Research brought us to this fabulous Italian restaurant. The restaurant was quiet enough to carry on wonderful conversations. We were not rushed and our waitrer went.out of his way to explain the different dishes. Over 3 hours we enjoyed a wonderful bottle of wine sharing the soup of the day and the gorgonzola salad, veal steak and a rabbit pasta dish. Each was a unique savory flavour. We finished with pistachio canneloni. Our waiter even assisted us to put our winter coats on. Seldom do you see such ser
Some of the best Italian food I have eaten in my entire life (and I have been to Italy several times for long periods)! Staff was awesome, super friendly and really helpful!
Always outstanding, everything Ive ever had here has been amazing. Even their cesar salad is amazing. My favorite dish is the Bolognese, they make all their pastas fresh and WOW it makes such a difference. They once had a parmesean soup as the daily - parm rind broth, with the little ball noodles, topped with dry grated parm and pepper - it was the most simple yet most delicious soup Ive ever had. Also, this is probably the only italian restaurant Ive ever been to where Ive never had a waitstaff correct my pronunciation of italian foods and wines, which can really affect your overall experience.
What excellent food and service!
My boyfriend Buddy and I were out for a nice meal to celebrate him starting cabinet making school. Our waiter Brad made sure the evening was perfect, removing every single crumb we dropped on the table.
This was my first post Covid dinning experience and I truly enjoyed the rigatoni bolognese dish. Found the neat sauce to be very tasty without adding any heat to spice it up. I like my food a little on the spicy side but not required for this dish. Excellent cappuccino to top off the meal. Would love to try the other ideas on the menu at another time.
Fantastic food, personable team, great atmosphere and very accommodating
Best dining experience Ive had, my wife and I will remember this anniversary date for the rest of our lives. Our server Tyler was excellent, very passionate about food, and it was a pleasure to be served by him. The food was perfect, we ate the duck breast, and the antipasti appetizer, and was a very private experience to share the special day with my wife. Thank you so much Giorg Cucina e Barra staff.
The food is delicious, but what makes this restaurant totally worthwhile is the service. Trevor and Brad are absolute masters at their craft. This restaurant may seem a bit out of the way, but dont let that stop you from enjoying one of the best dining experiences Thunder Bay has to offer.
Lovely & friendly place.
Fantastic service. Incredible food. A hidden gem.
Just had dinner here. Everything is extremely delicious. Service is also the best. Thank you for such a great experience.
Wonderful! Everyone went out of their way to make sure we had an exceptional experience. Delicious food in a great space.
Dinner at Giorg was extraordinary. Reasonably priced and delicious food. From the get go, our phenomenal server, Tyler, earned Giorg the 5 stars.
The best Italian in town, hands down. Professional service. Reasonable prices. The staff wears masks, they get it.
The Best
What a place to eat. unreal food! high end so dress nice. such a great atmosphere with unreal service. went to a cooking class offered here as well it was so fun and well worth it. eat whatever you prefer on the menu it is all amazing
Ohh, so delicious. Trevor, our server, was beyond nice and professional. We had soup, rabbit and noodles dish. So so yummy.
Giorgs has been a staple in upscale Thunder Bay dining for years. Amazing food, atmosphere, and the staff, who provided what I would consider to be the best service Ive ever had at a restaurant. One word of caution, do not order the calamari unless you want to have it ruined for you. Hands down the greatest calamari Ive ever tried, now calamari from elsewhere just wont be as good now that I know how it should really taste! Once again, amazing servers, chefs and back of house staff, coupled with an ideal atmosphere for anything from nice family dinners, to a classy bite with friends. Not to mention the food is probably some of the best in town. 11/10 for sure!
Great place
Absolutely amazing service, fantastic food. Loved everything about our experience. Perfect ambience for a romantic date or a get together with friends.
The best food and service in town
Its very delicious and has a good atmosphere.
Very nice place. Expensive, nice services. Food hight quality for Thunder Bay. But not the best compare with big cities.
The food here is indulgingly delicious and the service is amazing! Great job guys!
Everything was fantastic!!
My favorite place in town!
The best Italian restaurant in the North
The food and service was exceptional.!
This restaurant was excellent, food was fantastic and my dad has traveled around the globe and he said his lamb dish was by far the best hes ever had! I would absolutely recommend this Italian restaurant its a classy place with excellent service and ambiance too everyone! Viva Giorgios barra
Very well prepared and tasty food. We had the Ricotta dumplings, Whitefish special, Duck breast and Tiramisu. All were delicious. The marscapone in the tiramisu was a bit too sweet for my taste. The wine by the glass list is small. The cherry sauce on the duck was outstanding! Overall an excellent dining experience - great service and great food. 5 stars for sure.
We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here in the back room. We loved it! The food is incredible, the service was fantastic and we cannot wait to dine here again! Thanks!!
Love it. Good service. Super food. Will be back.
Trendy, casual atmosphere, friendly staff, amazing food.
Great chef! Good atmosphere and awesome food. Half priced pasta on Tuesday and amazing service!
Amazing experience. Server was so knowledgeable about both the food menu and alcohol menu. He was able to recommend a great wine with our pasta. We went on a Tuesday for half price pasta. We shared the sweet pea pasta and the spaghetti bolognese and it was amazing. High class for sure and we felt important. Every time the server visited we had amazing conversations. A real experience along with an amazing culinary experience. The cooks and the chef performed amazingly. No complaints. Italian food at its finest.
The essence of Italy is unequivocally captured at Giorg
Executive Chef Neil and his team are sensational and provide exceptional Italian hospitality. I highly recommend treating yourself to a perfect evening at Giorg Cucina e Barra!
Service more than perfect! Decadent food! If you are in the area and looking for a place to eat well... here it is!
We come here on special occasions only, however this place has some of the best dining in Thunder Bay, the servers are very nice, it is also very cool how you can see the cooking as the kitchen is also with the dining area. The ambiance, service the food is just phenomenal.
Service was 5 star Food was 4 ...I say four as Ive been to many Italian restaurants. How ever the prices match up perfectly with the quality of food. Have bread made just before it gets to the table and cook pasta another 30 to 45 seconds gets you a five.
The hidden gem! Absolutely must visit. High end restaurant in the heart of Thunder Bay. Just behind the Courthouse. Highly recommend the soup of the day. That meal was pure joy!
Ate the artichoke hearts and had the duck. Everything was cooked perfectly and service was quick. Thank you Shawn who was our waiter for the evening. I will definitely be going back.
Fantastic food. I recently went to a wedding here. The roast beef was absolutely the best food in Thunder bay
This restaurant has some of the finest food in the city. A real find.
