Giorgio’s Baiting Hollow

I cannot praise Giorgio’s enough. After our wedding there this past weekend, all I can tell people who ask how the wedding was is that Giorgio’s completely surpassed our expectations. The service, the food, the grounds, EVERYTHING, just absolutely amazing. If you are lucky enough to have Nick and Brian as your maitre’d’s you are set. They are fabulous, as was Kelly my bridal attendant.
Their cocktail hour is phenomenal, we even had a mojito bar outside which was a huge hit with our guests. The room itself is absolutely beautiful, and our whole bridal party went right to Giorgio’s after church, not stopping anywhere else in between for pictures because there really is no need to. Their grounds are just absolutely beautiful. I’m telling you– Giorgio’s is the best place to get married and you will not be disappointed.

I am extremely disappointed! Thanksgiving buffet is not cheap but we go every year servace today was non existent no one came to get us drinks I went to the bar to get sodas myself plates piled high no one cleared asked the manager for a waiter three times to get coffee at the end the manager said were extremely under staffed I said your still charging the same price rt? Needless to say I had to bring up my check and pay myself full price looks like well find another place to go next year!

Where do i even begin? Well i suppose i’ll start where it all began. 6 years ago, my then freshly new boyfriend and I attended a wedding at Giorgio’s where we quickly knew this place was a needle in a haystack. Being 21 years old we had no experience when it came to attending weddings as adults and/​or being exposed to weddings and having an opinion. The food, the drinks, the décor and overall vibe this place exudes is one to be placed on a pedestal. Now lets fast forward to June 2014.
Like all weddings, they begin with an engagement. Now after the cloud 9 we took residency on began to become a reality and the champagne bubbles started to wear off and the topic of where and when we do want to have OUR wedding… it took no longer than a moments time to both blurt out GIORGIOS. The next weekend my now new fiancé and I took a gorgeous drive out to Baiting Hollow where we were given a top notch tour by George Jr. We knew then to look no farther and just a few days later went back with my parents. And just like that, with no other venues viewed, we booked our perfect fall wedding at Giorgio’s for Monday Columbus Day, October 12^th, 2015. With the hestitation for the day of the week, have no fear, i dont think one guest, including ourselves thought at any point in time that we were not all there on a Saturday.
Just a few days before our wedding, we had dropped off our wedding homework packet as well as any décor we intended to use day of. Now as this was our first time having a wedding we both were at a loss of how to set décor up or where to even put it, but thankfully the staff at Giorgio’s could work and organize that venue in there sleep.
Fast forward to day of…
I cannot begin to explain. I’m trying to muster up the words to really get across how perfect everything was.
The grounds of this venue are straight out of a magazine. From the golf course, to the vineyard on site, the beautiful deck giving you a perfect view of sunset. It was all just to picturesque and at times i found myself wondering, how did i get so lucky?
MELISSA. YOU ARE A GIFT FROM ABOVE. Once my feet hurt, she had my sky blue converse in one hand ready to go with a fresh pumpkin beer perfectly cinnamon sugared in the other. I had always heard wonderful things about her, but what really took the cake for me was moments before our ceremony (which was held on site and i couldnt recommend more) She took Tyler and I aside and gave us some calming words to remember to be in the moment. «Envision yourselves the last time you drove together in the car, or the last time you we laughing laying in bed together, these are the things you can think about if you’re nervous when walking down the aisle.» Two weeks later and I still remember how tight my now husband held my hand while she said those words to us. She helped to enforce us to really take in the room, and really see everything going on around us while still letting loose and having fun. Its something like that that will forever set a lasting impression and really set one bridal attendant apart from the other. By the end of the night Melissa no longer felt like a bridal attendant, but more like a friend and we could never thank her enough.
BRIAN. The perfect Maitre D. Between Us, both of our parents, and grandparents, not one person even had the chance to finish their drink before a fresh one was put in hand. The attention to detail and constant surveillance of the room to ensure utmost happiness was priceless. He managed to make us feel like family, to feel comfortable and to feel at home. His warm nature and trust within made us so thankful to be exactly where we were. Between overseeing the after party, which we had in Giorgio’s bar room, which i also highly reccomend, and waiting until the very last guest left, THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DID.
All of the staff at Giorgio’s, from the wait staff, to the bartenders, you are impeccable & perfect in everyway. THANK YOU.
2 Weeks later and I am now back to reality in my break room at work… and surprise surprise, a co-​worker on mine just walked in to RAVE about the food. The cocktail hour by far surpasses any cocktail hour ive ever seen and since 10÷12÷15 I have had COUNTLESS texts, phone calls, emails stating that this was the BEST WEDDING they had ever been to. I am not only talking about our mutual 27 year old friends with 1 wedding under their belt, but talking more about my fathers co-​workers all 55 years+ as well as extended family who love some good food and a great party.

The proof is in the photos, the proof is in this review. GO CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF!

Went to a friend’s wedding here this past weekend. The décor, the location and the grounds are absolutely beautiful! The food was out of this world! The staff was very attentive and friendly throughout the entire night. The bartenders made great drinks too!
Amazing! I’ll definitely be considering for my wedding.

WOW WOW WOW! Been to many many many weddings over many many many years. All I can say is WOW WOW WOW!
Service was top notch, food was out of this world and the accommodations phenomenal.
As the father of the groom, Giorgio’s exceeded my every expectation.
The only other thing I can say is: if your planning a wedding, Giorgio’s should be your final choice!

I waited to right this review until the end of the party. Well everyone, I can truly say with 100% certainty, that Giorgio’s is truly over the top. From the start, valley service perfect. The cocktail party was probably the best that I’ve ever been to. They had sushi, sesfood gra Diablo, beef short ribs, mussels, pastas, cheeses and so much more. It was all so perfect and fresh. For dinner, we had a choice of stuffed fillet (they have you 2) roasted duck, chateu briand, chicken, vegitarian dish. Each dish was outstanding with plenty to ready.
Now the service, I have never seen any better. I literally watched the staff control the entire room throughout the evening seeing to everyone’s needs. A glass had broken on the dance floor and within a minute, they swarmed over it and it was all cleaned up. Truly amazing. Special kudos to our server Stephen… he was outstanding in all aspects of his service. He was on 100% of the time. This IS the place to have your next affair… seriously! I’m a believe.

Look it’s not Per Ce, but that’s not why you are here. Massive diverse selection of food. Most very well done even sushi and some not normally smogasborg r mass dining buffet friendly. They keep it fresh and cycled out. Service and attention and bus service us fast and friendly. A tool around the grounds is mandatory. Just chatting with the Mothers and relaxing.

We had our wedding here 2 weeks ago and all our friends and family have been saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to! First off the food is just delicious. Everything from cocktail hour to dessert, unbelievable. The staff on hand is nothing short of professional, kind, and thoughtful. The owners George and George Jr are so true and upfront about everything I didn’t feel at all like I was getting hosed, I told them everything we wanted and at a fair price and they worked with me and everything was the way it was supposed to be on wedding day. The coordinator Nick is one of the nicest and professional people I’ve dealt with. He was punctual and on the ball and made sure everything moved along smoothly, trust me that is no easy task considering the size of our wedding party and attendance. Melissa was our maitre’d, she was amazing, she made sure everyone was comfortable and happy. She brought people drinks and set up our own private table for cocktail hour with everything offered on our table. More importantly, her kind words about marriage and love really remind you of really why your celebrating the day. We couldn’t ask for a kinder person to help us along through the party. Ok so all I can say now is, HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE! They were all you want and more in a wedding venue. And your friends and family will be talking about it for a while after its all over. Truly a professional, fun, beautiful place to celebrate your wedding day.

Have only been here for the brunch so this review is for that aspect of the restaurant.
If you want a Sunday brunch this is the place to go. Reservations are a must R cause the secret got out years ago. Starts with Valet parking. I love this feature and it only gets better from here on.
Your greeted like an old friend and always made to feel like they’ve been holding the best table in the house for you.
One waitress, and I’m sorry but I don’t know her name, seems to remember you no matter how long it’s been since your last visit.
Food. You name it and they have it. We personally love the oysters but all of the food is fresh and delicious.
We will definitely be back and hope to see you there. Drinks will be on me

Was recently in a bridal party for a wedding that took place at Giorgio’s. I was excited since I had never been but have heard only good things. The reception hall is up a very long winding driveway nestled within a community of condos. As the wedding was in February with a ton of snow on the grounds, I didn’t get a very good look at the actual grounds. The pictures were taking out front of the entrance on steps. The lobby is beautiful. It’s adorned with bright carpeting, a large fireplace and a piano that sits welcoming. The bridal suite was nice but I will admit I expected more. It was directly above the fireplace and this suite was HOT. We kept having to open the balcony doors for cool air. The bridal attendant Melissa was everything you want in an attendant on your big day. She catered to the bride and was available for all who needed her. Her copilot was a little abrasive. He seemed to not be as patient or into being in charge of rounding all of us up and playing the role. The cocktail hour was actually an hour and a half. It was a little too long for my liking and split between two giant rooms. There were many stations with good food. There were also two bars available which made it easy to get a drink. The drinks were a little on the weak side, but I’m not a huge drinker so it worked for me. By the time dinner came around, (5 choices– beef, chicken, striped bass, vegetable medley and an additional vegan dish is needed) we were stuffed. I managed to eat some of the chicken and it was tasty. The food was definitely better quality of the wedding food I’ve had. Overall I think that Giorgio’s offers a very pretty space for those seeking a wedding off the beaten path out on the Eastern End of Long Island.

I went to a wedding here on ¹¹⁄₂₂. there was about 250 people. My brother and I could not stop raving about how phenomenal this place was! The dessert table stole my attention, it was AMAZING… What a phenomenal experience with top notch food and dynamite service! Classy is an understatement for this venue and if I could give it 10 stars I would!

If I could give Giorgio’s 20 stars I would. Had brunch there this past Sunday and it was so good. My best friend and I had great time the food was endless. This is how brunch is done. We started with the omelet station and then went for a walk on the grounds which are perfection. Then we went back in and had shrimp and fish and pasta and some kind of salad. Then we had a cocktail and sat back and talked and then went up again for cookies and little pastries and yeah it was awesome. I think my friend said the bill was 68.00 seriously you cannot get this classy place and all that food for 68.00 anywhere else. The people that work there are a class act too. You should go.

AMAZING! I came here for a wedding last night and it was great! The property is so beautiful. Everything is ‘wow’ worthy. The food was so good!!! The staff was nice as well. This is definitely a very nice place to have a wedding or some sort of formal event. As a guest, it’s an amazing experience to come here. I highly recommend it here

If I could give Giorgio’s a million stars I would. I had my wedding there last week and it was PHENOMENAL. Nick, Brian and Melissa were absolutely fantastic — the service was above and beyond. I knew my wedding day would be nice but it really was far better than anything I could have imagined. The food was amazing and Melissa and Brian did a great job making sure we ate. Melissa kept making sure my husband and I had drinks in our hand and plenty of water. She was also really great with keeping us filled in on the progress of the wedding and offered us helpful advice to help us from becoming overwhelmed. I really can’t say enough good things about my experience! Family members called my parents and in laws the next day to tell them how amazing the wedding was and how beautiful the place was. My friends are still telling me how it was the best wedding ever and how Giorgio’s had the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. I really can’t thank the staff at Giorgio’s enough for making my wedding day so beautiful and so special.

My son and his wife choose Giorgios for their wedding. Every single thing was incredible. Staff was Awesome. Bridal Assistant Melissa ensured they were taken care of the entire day. Excellent service!

Attended a wedding at Girogio’s a couple of weeks ago. Beautiful venue, inside and out! Food was wonderful, staff was incredible

Giorgio’s is a great place to have your wedding at. Top notch everything.
I have photographed weddings here and have always been treated with respect. With that I get to see behind the scenes. Which at come venues is really bad. But at Giorgio’s the staff is always accommodating and the food is always yummy.
Since I have been to tons of venues and seen it all, I selected Giorgio’s for my own wedding reception.
After my wedding guests kept telling me how great their experience was at my wedding. They were WOW’ed!
Their cocktail hour is amazing!
*the bridal attendant Melissa is one of the best bridal attendants I have ever seen

Giorgio’s has become part of our Christmas tradition. We have brunch at some point before the holiday. The meal is a little pricey but they have good service and a very nice selection of buffet items. Classic breakfast items are joined by pastas and seafood, antipasto, omelet and carving stations. All good stuff. The desserts are typically good (I did have a bad lemon meringue today but that’s a rarity). The view is very nice overlooking the community golf course and parts of Calverton. If you don’t want to valet park, the only open parking is down a steep hill. I always used the valet and have never waited more than 5 minutes for the car to come up. So it’s not worth the trek uphill. I also suspect the orange juice is a bargain brand as it’s slightly odd tasting. Not awful just a little odd. All things considered, we’ll keep going. They do a good job with the holiday brunch. They have Santa and some carolers going table to table and is sets the tone for the season.

I really enjoyed my visit here. This place has class, elegance, and great food and friendly servers.
I’ve been to many catering halls around the Tri-​State area, and Giorgio’s does it as well as any of them can.
The food was great, cocktail hour and dinner itself. For dinner I was given a pork chop and it was delicious.. I couldn’t complain about anything, everything was tasty and the service spectacular.
They even use air fresheners which was a small detail but a noticed one.
My only complaint was that if you wanted to self park, you had to do it down a hill.

I bounced between 1 and 2 stars here, but I’ll give them the 2^nd star ONLY because of the fact that they appear to be able to cook food properly. That is to say, «correctly», not «wonderfully», or at all with any degree of specialness (yeah, it’s not a word but it should be — I’ll lobby Websters about it tomorrow).
My wife and I were there for their «special» Thanksgiving buffet.
They managed to irritate me right from the doorway. We got inside, walked to the podium, and then had to stand there for five minutes while the maitre-​d argued with the girl working the podium about which waitress he’d move to what table. Through the whole time, neither of them even had the courtesy to look up and acknowledge that we even existed. No. «hello, we’re sorry just one moment please», not even a nod or smile. It took me several coughs and a funny noise through my nose before either of them managed to note the fact of our existence.
The quality of service did not improve. What’s worse, is that they have the audacity to add 18% «gratuity» to the bill, when they can barely mange to pick up a dirty plate.
Food was good. Not at all exceptional.
The «antipasto bar» was nothing more than a few pasta salads, a fennel salad that had the whole bulbs cut in half (nobody eats fennel that way), and a tray of sad looking ultra-​thinly sliced mozzarella pinwheels.
The «bread table» did have a lot of nice bread. Unfortunately, there was no where to put your plate down while attempting to cut from the loaves — all of which were arranged for a left handed person. Not that I have anything against left handed people, but statistics show they are not in the majority. We watched many people struggling to get bread.
«Salad bar» consisted of grated carrots, a few dressings and some cucumber. No onions, egg, bacon, beans, any of what one would traditionally expect.
«Fish Station» was a dry cooked cold salmon, a smoked whitefish, raw clams (good), and shrimp (ok). There was sushi, but no bowls were provided for soy, ginger or wasabi — so you had to drizzle from a big pitcher and by the time you got back to your table, your sushi had fallen to pieces…
With the «thanksgiving dinner», there were 3 kinds of potato, and only ONE vegetable — string beans floating in a sea of butter. The turkey was cooked well, juicy — but the accompaniments were completely without flair.
The desert table was clearly populated by items extracted from institutional boxes. I’ve seen better at a Chinese buffet. Just because you have a chocolate fountain doesn’t make you special (and haven’t those been out of style for about 100 years now?) What’s worse, the pastries were DRY — day old at least, if not more. Repulsive, in fact.
The WORST irritation came with the bill. When you charge $ 42.95 PER PERSON for a buffet, one does NOT expect to see soft drinks (diet coke & ginger-​ale) itemized at $ 1 per glass. WTF?
Sorry — I would NEVER go back after that — I can’t believe that Sunday brunch would be much better. Sorry — I’ll stick with Rothman’s even though it’s an hour’s drive — I’ll get charged about 5 dollars more, and drink Mimosas and Bloody Marys until I can’t see straight — not ONE of those will show up on the bill, and neither will the soda.
