• Steak • Greenwood

Booked 2 times today

Giardina's, one of the Mississippi Delta's most historic restaurants, was founded in 1936 by Joseph Giardina, in Greenwood, Mississippi. A unique blend of sophistication and warmth, Giardina's is the perfect setting for any event. Seating consists of fourteen private booths and the large dining room opens onto a beautiful courtyard. The restaurant's interior space and state-of-the-art kitchen were designed by world-renowned architects. Considerable effort was made to retain the character and charm of the original Giardina's, but the white tablecloths and fine crystal add the feeling of elegance one would expect from a fine dining restaurant in a large metropolitan area. Giardina's bar, reminiscent of a bygone era, features the same dark wood and tile of the restaurant while offering today's premium liquors, wines and liqueurs. Featuring steaks, seafood and Italian cuisine, Giardina's atmosphere is old world elegant but dress is laid-back "Delta casual.”

$$$$Price: Expensive

• American • Jackson

Molly’s Place offers artisanal fresh made cocktails, MS and a few other craft beers, a selection of wonderful wines from the Biltmore Estate Wine Company. Our food, however, brings the entire experience together. Delicious, house made small plates including the top selling Sesame Seared Filet of Ahi Tuna and other favorites the Cast Iron Smashburger, our signature Crawfish Cakes, and more. Named for owner Deborah Bailey’s mother Molly, who flew with the Women’s Air Force Service Pilots in WWII, our tiny space evokes a bygone time, with cocktail classics and aviation mementos that also remind us of Grenada’s great and underused airport, where thousands of pilots trained during that same war. And —- we are growing our roster of musicians, playing live. Come see us. And meet your new friends.

We appreciated that the restaurant was open on Thanksgiving. We enjoyed everything but prime rib was a bit on the salty side. Overall, a good experience.
