The honey bastard (ooh I hate saying that name) is good - but I'm not sure it's giving what it used to give. Might have to switch it up and go for a meat lovers next time. I didn't enjoy my espresso martini so I switched it out for a lemon drop martini. The cocktails were a miss for me but again the service makes up for it.

The crust was perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and airy inside, and every bite was loaded with flavor. You can tell they care about quality ingredients and doing pizza the right way.

I'll definitely be back.

What a gem of a find for a Sunday date night. We'd been running around all weekend and wanted to…read moretake dinner at a bit of a slower pace and our server was more than happy to let us chill and did not rush us. We started with the meatballs and a salad each (Caesar and Arugula) Salads were fresh and the waiter said they used all organic produce. The red sauce on the meatballs was absolutely perfect. We actually requested a side of it for the focaccia, which was the only thing we got that we didn't love. Mains were good size, price & quality wise. Even though we didn't need it, we both got dessert. The tiramisu was exactly what my BF wanted it to be. I had a banana cream pie thing that was also super good. They're also recognized for their wine list and we had 2 bottles we were really happy with. Overall a great experience! Wish we lived here to become regulars here.

I came here for a dinner with my co-workers. It's a really nice neighborhood. The inside of the…read morerestaurant itself is also pretty, with rustic brick walls, flowers and leaves for decorations, really a nice cozy setup. The menu had lots of good appetizers, pasta, meat, chicken and seafood dishes. Of course there was great collection of wines as well. For appetizers, we got the lobster tails, calamari, mozzarella caprese and focaccia. The lobster tail was incredible, tasted so good with the butter sauce. Rest of the dishes were also amazing. For entree I picked the copping antonio (seafood in spicy tomato sauce). It was another marvelous dish, filled with lots of fish, shrimp, mussels, clamps, mixed it a delicious sauce, that had some kick but wasn't too spicy either. The toasted best was the perfect side to sip in the sauce with the seafood. Loved it. We also got some desserts that were equally top quality. The service wonderful throughout the dinner. They assisted with pouring wine, filling up water, and constantly cleaning out the empty plates and dishes. The dishes came out in short intervals. Overall it was an exceptional dinner experience. Everyone walked with with a fully tummy and a happy heart :)

I love wood burning oven because I like the Burt edged crust . We also had chopped salad. Our guest couple had the calamari and shrimp appetizers that were very good too. They decided to have shared a pasta dish, carbonara that they raved about. Our drinks were standard beers. All in all and very nice meal that we are happy to recommend.

We arrived on time for our reservation and our table was waiting. One of my favorite cocktails is a Godfather but usually when I order it the server and/or bartender says "what is that?"

I had the calzone, it was a good size and cooked well done (my preference). My husband had the Montanara pizza which they are known for. It has a flash-fried dough. He absolutely loved it. We were a party of 7 and needed the check divided but the waiter could not do it. I think we should have told him before we ordered (maybe). Should be accommodated.

All that said, this was a great dish. Had the chicken carbonara with fettuccini and it could not have been done better. It was a special that night and I hope the put it on the menu permanently. Drinks were good as well. I'll be back. More often if carbonara gets on the menu :-)

Great flavor and you have your option on pasta and I chose penne. For dessert we had the special cheesecake which was amazing. Prices for wine, cocktails, and food are all very reasonable.

I had a house salad and a veal parmigiana special w/pasta. Both were very good. The portion size was generous - my veal cut was like 9x6.

My husband and I have been meaning to eat at Gorji's after hearing about it through many avenues…read moreover the years, and we had a blast last month trying it for a late Valentine's Day dinner the Friday night after V-Day. The interior is super intimate, only 6 tables for the evening, and you're really being catered to and cooked for individually throughout the night. Also love that the restaurant has specific parking spots reserved, as this area always gets super packed at peak hours. We arrived slightly early before our reservation but were kindly seated immediately to enjoy grilled sourdough with dipping olive oil. The olive oil was itself magnificent, and came with parm as well as something citrus-y, maybe lemon. I never want to eat bread any other way! The house server also came around and recommend Marco Bonfante moscato d'asci when I requested a sweeter wine, which I loved. All the food we ate was incredible, but I do want to mention a couple of dishes that stood out the most. The first course catfish was truly amazing. Perfectly pan-fried, perfectly seasoned, on a bed of lemony arugula that complimented the savory flavors of the fish so well. Definitely understand why this is a regular on the prix fixe menus. The caesar salad was also incredible. Love the dressing and the inclusion of whole anchovies for you to enjoy with the salad. Chef Gorji truly has a way with the grill. The bone-in pork chop was honestly the best pork chop I've ever had in my life -- cooked to perfection, so tender and so flavorful and so moist, with amazing char on the outside. And it was also such a generous portion! The vodka sauce and gnocchi and langoustine provided a lovely balance to the plate, but the star of the show was truly the pork chop. We both loved it. The tenderloin with gnocchi gorgonzola was also excellent, and cooked perfectly medium rare as well. Both desserts we tried were unique and very good. Loved the tart savory sweet balance of the kefir cheese with medjool dates, and the vanilla ice cream went phenomenally well with drizzled dessert wine, tart mulberries, and crunchy pistachios. Also really love that this establishment is tip free, so you know exactly what you're paying from the beginning. My husband and I had a great time and would love to come back for more special occasions in the future!

tl;dr: Gorji Restaurant is a fantastic meal and experience that we will remember, but the price is…read morevery high for what you get. The restaurant has six tables and six time slots on Open Table: one for each table and that's all the tables they serve for a night. I strongly recommend picking one of the first four if you can, because the restaurant has just four reserved parking spaces for guests and that area of Addison can be EXTREMELY tough to find parking at dinner time on a Friday or Saturday night. If you are time slot 5 or 6 definitely give yourself another 15 minutes to find parking and walk. The restaurant has just three staff members: Gorji himself, a waiter, and an additional chef in the back. You'll see the waiter all the time, he's a nice fellow with a humorous personal touch who will be zipping around the dining room and Gorji makes a personal tableside appearance with every course to make sure its to your liking. Tables are spaced about five feet apart so there's plenty of room to get around without feeling cramped and every table feels intimate and romantic. People talk at their tables but it never feels noisy. The menu partially rotates from week to week. There's a few staple items which are always there and then every week (on around Wednesday or Thursday) the new menu will be posted which will have 1-2 new items in every category. When we arrived at the restaurant we were also informed of an additional special item of the day not listed on the menu: a yellowfin tuna appetizer which we didn't order but sounded nice. The standout dishes for us were the catfish appetizer, the vanilla ice cream, and the kefir butterfly. The pan fried catfish was absolutely delightful, one of the best fried fishes I've ever had with a delicate crispy skin and tender juicy flesh, and a perfectly paired sauce. Don't sleep on the ice cream either. This is not a default ice cream scoop like a lot of fancy restaurants will toss you. They churn the ice cream in house and you can taste the difference, and paired with the wonderful wine sauce, dried berries, and rose petals it's a really over the top dish. Finally, the kefir butterfly is more than just a photo op. It looks very nice, but it actually tastes fantastic as well. The pomegranate reduction is amazing and goes so well with the cheese and the date. We were using forks to carefully scrape every last drop off the plate. The thing that sticks out to me about all the dishes we liked best though is the sauces. Gorji is a really REALLY standout saucier. The best dishes in the restaurant are the ones with sauce and the man has awards for his sauces hanging on the walls of the restaurant. If there's anything to be disappointed about here it's that the unsauced dishes are just not as good. We did not order the caesar salad (which has a sauce) and in hindsight that was a mistake. The Panzanella is fine, but it's just a caprise salad with bread. The sugar kiss melon is fine, but not memorable. The venison loin which we had came with a cognac sauce and that was really spectacular (though not to the heights of the catfish or the two desserts we had). The beef tenderloin lacked a sauce and, while it was cooked competently to an exacting standard, it just didn't really "pop" for me. The side vegetables for both dishes were completely dry and could have used something. For $130pp it's just... a lot. We enjoyed our experience. It's nice food, but you're paying a notable markup for the exclusivity of the whole six-tables-a-night setup and we weren't that hooked by it really. We just picked it out for the really interesting prix fixe menu. Yes, there's no tip. Yes, there's a 5% cash discount. But even with those things in mind this is like a $100pp meal with a $130pp price tag. It's not outrageous though. If the exclusive dining experience is very appealing to you though, you'll have a great time and think this is a great deal.
