Review content:
I am SO happy to see that there are others who don't like Gina Marie's. I have had two very unpleasant dinners there, and subsequently, thanks to the internet and spreading the word in 'real life', am finding out that there are many others who don't like this arrogant, mediocre restaurant.
Hopefully, the word will spread on their abysmal customer service, arrogance and only mediocre food. Of late, I've read that they have one of THE highest priced entrees -- $46. -- in Westchester.
At any rate, my dislike of Gina Marie goes back a year or more. There are two rooms in which to be seated, and since we were not regulars, we were seated in the front room, a cramped, noisy space. The orders were given, and the appetizer arrived. The food was only okay. WHILE I was in the midst of my appetizer, the entree arrived. Now, the tables are small for two people, and the subsequent lack of space and eating of two courses at once left a bad taste in my mouth for this place. Another meal with another couple got us the 'back' room - the food was still mediocre.
Next (and last) visit we were again two and again given the same cramped, noisy table. We had no choice as the place was filled. People DO like mediocre food, don't they?
At any rate, this time I ASKED the waiter to ALLOW us to EAT our APPETIZER first BEFORE getting the entree.
You guessed it. I had the salad fork to my mouth when the server brought out the entree. An argument ensued, during which the waiter asked my companion what to do. Since my companion is not bellicose, he said to leave the entree, which I did not eat.
In the midst of all the this, during which time the server ignored my angry retorts, I told him that his abysmal service would be reflected in his tip. He shrugged.
I then called over the manager. His reaction? You guessed it. He shrugged as well.
I will take all opportunity to put forth negative reviews on Gina Marie's in Eastchester until they close, which will be soon I hope.
Pros: no pros
Cons: arrogance, overpriced, mediocre food.
