Only the view was good!
I was so disappointed with my lunch at the new "Gino's" and will NEVER be back. We came in a day or two after it opened and were the ONLY ones in the restaurant. Sat outside on a gorgeous, hot, sunny day with the water sparkling. Took a while to get service. Salad was a teensy amount of bagged iceberg with two teensy tomato slices. We each ordered T-bone steaks RARE. Menu said they came with french fried onions on top and the first batch did. Steaks were both way overcooked-not even pink. AGAIN - we were the ONLY ones in the restaurant - was the chef too busy to get TWO steaks right? Took half an hour for the next steaks to show up. We were not offered any other food in the meantime to make up for the inconvenience. Steaks came with stir-fried onions this time which I commented on and waiter just shrugged. Wish I had gone ahead and eaten the fried ones, darn it. Steaks were passable - over $21. Came with french fries for that price! We're talking lunch prices. Dessert of blackberry cobbler was very good. We were not offered free dessert, wine or anything off the bill for the overcooked steak and LONG time redoing it. For a brand new restaurant trying to get clientèle, wouldn't you think .....

One other group of three came in before we left. Shouldn't have been too hard to take care of us. Never even got water refilled. Service was terrible, food was mediocre, the day was provided by God so the restaurant can't take any credit for the only good part of the experience.    [05 Sep 2007 22:20:53]

Mostly Good food, but Overpriced
My wife and I had a pretty good meal here. We got a deck table (though the only one without an umbrella, which was odd).

Our appetizer was lousy -- antipasta with cured meats that tasted like they came from a prepackaged deli tray, a flavorless tomato, etc. However, our entrees were both quite good -- I would recommend the pasta. My wife had the halibut, which was expertly cooked as well.

But come on! $25 for a modestly sized slab of halibut? I've been to restaurants that probably have 3 times the rent of this place, with cheaper prices and much better food.

It seems like the "fine dining" places in Port Orchard know that your options are VERY limited, and price accordingly. we need some competition to bring these restaurants back to reality.

They have "special occasion prices," with only a "nice evening out" experience. Service was OK.
I give it 2.5 stars overall (the rating doesn't allow 1/2 stars).    [05 Sep 2007 23:27:01]
