Well we ate here the next night and just as great again w the fried asparagus, crab cake and fried shrimp! All excellent and then a topper of Creme Brulee' which was done exactly right! Not undercooked and not overcooked but just perfect! The owner Allan runs a tight ship and is really on top of everything! Thnx Allan, Chef and Mrs Dion! What a great place! read more

Great atmosphere and historic feel to the restaurant. Menu prices are pretty high but the food and service was excellent. Parking was plentiful and close by. Had a choice of the bar or dining room and chose the dining room. Ordered a side salad and shrimp scampi. The wait for food was average even though there wasn't many customers. The food arrived and while it was very flavorful - the scamp had way too much paprika for me. Overall it was a good experience. The waitress was very attentive and helpful. read more

The Ginocchio - Main entrance - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Marshall, Texas

We found this place just browsing Yelp while we were staying in town. There weren't too many options and we wanted something more than fast food or a pizza place. I'm so glad we tried this one because it ended up being perfect! It's beautiful inside, especially the bar area. We sat in there because even though they don't have a dress code, we felt too underdressed and were more comfortable sitting at the bar. Right off the bat, the service was excellent. The hostess was super sweet and accommodating, and shortly after we sat, we were greeted by the owner. Above and beyond! He thanked us for coming and left us to our meal. We had: -Raw oysters: a mixed bunch of deliciousness! -Shrimp scampi: packed with shrimp! So much so that I couldn't finish the dish and had to take the rest home. Very tasty, and has a creole flare to it that sets it apart from your typical scampi dish. -Dessert: faced with the choice of vanilla OR chocolate crème brûlée, we dared to be different and it was a fabulous choice. The mint with the chocolate was a marvelous touch. -Drinks: I had a French 75 and my mom had a different 75 that I'm blanking on the name of. Both were fantastic! The bartenders were both awesome and they truly take pride in their creations. The owner came back around to check on us, and while we ate, we had noticed him giving what looked like tours to other patrons. We asked about some of the history and he was more than happy to share with us. Very interesting and an added bonus to our visit! All around, I had a wonderful birthday dinner and highly recommend this place to anyone who finds themselves in the area. read more

Amazing!!! Our waiter Tyler gave the best advice. Hubs had negroni and I had a cucumber smash. Both excellent!! He recommended the specials Australian Wagyu beef and halibut with crab. Both were amazing and positively melted in your mouth! Finished with a grasshopper and shared the black forest cake. I'm gluten-free and they were very conscious of it and made recommendations accordingly. Everything was amazing. Honestly one of the best meals I've ever had and we are foodies. Will definitely be back. read more

For a party of 9 , dinner was at 6:30 , didn't get our drinks until 6:50. . Waitress would come every 15-20 mins with cigarette breath to check on us. Ordered right after we got our drinks , waited until 7:55 to get our food. Half food came out then 7 mins later, other half of it came out. Walked out of restaurant at 8:40. Food was regular food, my wife got the seafood fettuccine and it came with 3 shrimp and alfredo noodles for $38 . But don't worry they will keep bringin your bread if you ask because you'll stay hungry waiting 2 hours for your food . read more

Ginocchio was an amazing find as we were traveling to Houston.It was my husband's birthday and we had wonderful drinks and food, and our waitress was attentive and sweet. Looking forward to making this a destination on our next Texas trip read more

I stumbled on this place near me on yelp. And let me tell you it deserves 10 stars! Taylor was our waiter. He was thorough, friendly, accommodating (I have so many food allergies ‍) and so much more. The ambiance of the restaurant is top notch. It's warm and welcoming and just quaint. The food.... Wow! Chef's kiss. I wish I had taken better pictures but I couldn't take the first bite fast enough. we went all the way with appetizers, salad, entrees, extra sides, multiple bar drinks, and dessert..... still coming in under $200 total tab. I can't wait to come back and try out all new items. The only suggestion I have is that when we walked in (first time) we asked the hostesses did we have to have a reservation or can we just walk in?.... They looked at us like deer in headlights and seated us... which was fine. I will find the answer out. 10/10 I highly recommend. We will absolutely be back. read more

What a beautiful restaurant. It is in a restored old Railroad Motel/restaurant. Great place for a nice date night! The food was excellent, the service was superb. Desert was a high point! read more

We visited Ginocchio when we were visiting family in the area. The setting in an old restored building by the train station was nice. Our server was very pleasant and attentive. The steaks were very tasty. Just wish they offered a baked potato. That said, I would still recommend Ginocchio and visit again if I'm in the area. read more

Everyone was very welcoming and kind. The venue has so much charm and the food is absolutely delicious! It was hard to decide on just one thing. But we decided on the Ribeye, The Skirt Steak, and a chocolate crème brûlée (yes I said chocolate!). I would highly recommend stopping through next time you're in Marshall. read more

Owner was a wonderful host the young lady who waited on us did such a nice job and then we found out it was her first night great building with history will definitely be back read more

Loved the ambiance but it's more for special occasions if you ask me$$$$ although they looked like they had their regulars. The location is super cool. The owner came out to greet us and visited for a while. Nice selection of beer and cocktails. We really enjoyed ourselves and the food was good. read more

I just got home from eating dinner in Marshall, Texas, at The Ginocchio. I had red fish grilled with lemon butter. The rest of the table got shrimp scampi, filet mignon and blackened red fish. Dessert was bread pudding and brandy Alexanders with ice cream. We all enjoyed our dinners and the nostalgia of the railroad station. We will definitely return. The staff were all wonderful and our waitress, Jacee, was fantastic!!! We found out the chef at The Ginocchio used to be the chef at Village Grill in Shreveport. Blackened Redfish, Raw Oysters, Shrimp Scampi, filet mignon and grilled redfish read more

You must go to Ginocchio's! This place has incredible food, the best staff ever, and the building offers awesome ambiance. Thank you Woody and staff for a great meal and your patience ...as my friend and I ate for over 3 hours because we hadn't seen each other for 30 years. Yours was the perfect place for us to have a great meal and reconnect!!! read more

After a long drive, I decided to treat myself to a cocktail and a steak. Kaitlyn made a refreshing gin cocktail by muddling a cucumber for me and answered all my menu questions. When in Texas, the ribeye better be good, and i was not disappointed. The surprise of the evening was the crab cake. As Marshall is deep in the heart of Texas, it isn't clear to me why I ordered seafood, but it was fantastic. Love the building and environment. Hope to be back on my next visit. read more

Excellent place, 5 stars without any doubt for all courses. I polished my plates and was not willing to share my desert after I tried it. Fresh oysters, excellent venison, steaks and fish were very good. Desert ( I had a bread pudding and regret I did not order a double portion) was totally a Michelin star level. My team also had several Snow Bear cocktails. I certainly will be in this place again and will recommend it to all my friends and colleagues. Thank you so much, Alan and all your team. Such a wonderful place. read more

100% The Ginocchio deserves 5 stars. EVERYthing from entering the restaurant until completing paying for dinner was first rate. What a wonderful dining experience. A hidden gem found because Yelp exists. Thank you to all staff (Jaycee...spelling? was my server and Jessica was kind enough to come to my table to check on all and even offered me a look at their papers re: their history). I wish I lived closer as I would be here frequently. read more

From the environment to the food our experience was fantastic! The espresso martini was

A very nice place with history to it. We didn't have a reservation so we sat at a tabletop in the bar area. On a cold day a hot toddy was in good order and it was served perfectly. The bread tray was unique, we were not offered a salad choice prior to dinner and skipped any appetizers. The entrees were very good. Side of mashed potatoes was different (think a scooped baked potato smashed with sour cream). Red potatoes and green beans were also good. A very nice place, next time through will make a reservation and sit in the main dining room. The bar music was great with some 80's rock going and staff was on top of taking care of you! read more

Way too expensive for what you get. The pictures are not the size you get. Walked out thinking, got ripped off.

Food was wonderful (chicken fried venison was the best chicken fried steak I have had , My wife's grilled Red Fish was delicious also, Great service, great drink options , Wonderful ambiance" Definitely worth the 30 minute drive from Longview . What a find ! read more

Perhaps we hit an off night. It was Friday evening following a large afternoon event. Reservations for a party of 8 at 7. It was not crowded. Receiving our dinners was slow. I ordered the Wagyu Steak. It was tough and next time I will choose differently. The atmosphere is always great. Wine-great! Waitress was good. read more

This local jewel is perfect for an upscale dinner or just drinks after work. The food is delicious, from marinated crab claws and the Oysters Reynaldo, named after Chef Reynaldo, to the delicious entrees and I suggest the Snow Bear for dessert. A great place to celebrate or take a break, if you're from the area you're sure to run into a familiar face. With great service, a fantastic bar, and an extraordinary chef The Ginocchio is the place to be! read more

We love The Ginocchio. It's our go to for special occasions or just because. We recently went for Valentine's Day and unexpectedly our granddaughters went with us. Both were a little loud because of their age. I was very concerned and honestly embarrassed but the owner and staff were very understanding and never made us feel like they (granddaughters) were a bother. And as always our meal was cooked to perfection. read more

Lovely atmosphere, attentive service and excellent food. Go for the espresso martinis, marinated crab claws, artichoke and blackened red snapper. read more

The first floor of the old Ginocchio Hotel has been beautifully restored to serve as an upscale restaurant. The food is really good. The chef-driven menu is unique. But, IMHO, the menu needs to be broadened. How about a burger or a CFS? This is Texas, after all. A variety of menu items, affordably priced, would make folks want to come back more often. As it is, it's a very nice place to enjoy a meal, just not as often as I'd like. read more

Great meal, great service, unique and historical setting. The steak was perfectly cooked and everyone in our party of 8 loved their dinner. For train buffs, it may not get any better than having a meal just a few feet away from passing rail cars. The owner even stopped by and gave us an impromptu history lesson of the 100+ year old building. The Ginoccio is a must if you find yourself in Marshall. read more

We've been sitting here two and a half hours and haven't been served. The waitstaff is courteous and apologetic but we can't eat that. We can't even enjoy conversation because the room is built like an echo box with no thought whatsoever to sound control. The room is full, but if you can't serve a full room you shouldn't seat a full room. It's disrespectful. Only come during meal times if you don't mind being an afterthought. read more

I really wanted this to be a good place but it just wasn't worth what they are serving . The portions were small. The cocktails we ordered were good. The menu said the entree came with a potato and vegetable choice but some of them didn't and they were a higher price. We ordered a steak that came with truffle fries , it was $50. Come on! Its fries! Also the food was salty. It was mediocre food for a very expensive price! Totally disappointed!!! Do not recommend. read more

Beautiful old building and a very welcoming crew. Everyone was so welcoming and grateful for our patronage. Everyone from the front end staff to the owner welcomed us to their restaurant. My wife and I both had steaks and they were perfect. From cocktails to dessert everything was a winner. We will be back and hope others will make the trip. We had a 45 minute drive from Bossier City and it was worth the trip. Easy drive for a great experience. read more

We really enjoy this place and worth the drive over from Longview. We always reserve a high top table in the bar area. Cocktails by Woody are always excellent and Brandy is usually who waits on us. She's great. Chef is obviously high caliber and the owner usually stops by for a chat and genuinely appreciates your being there. Oh, and wine list is very good also. read more

Amazing food, cocktails and the hotel is remarkable! Always a fun place with friends!

Went for our anniversary and really enjoyed it! The bartender Ansley was very nice and her martini was very good!! Our salmon and snapper was terrific. The raw oysters were spectacular and my artichoke appetizer was delicious!!! A VERY nice gentleman next to us named Stoney heard us tell Ansley it was our anniversary and when we got ready to pay Ansley informed us that Stoney had taken care of our bill for us!!! What a blessing!! I was really touched by Stoney's generosity and kindness. We felt truly special tonight!!!! We will definitely go back and even try some of their other menu items. Nice to know that Marshall has this caliber of a restaurant. read more

I'm in sales and customer services. I came in an hour before posted closing time with 2 clients. The hostess station was unattended. At this position you cannot see the seating area. After a five or six minute wait we walked in to the dining/bar room and sat at the bar. 2 staff members were tending a table of six(the only table and obvious locals) they disappeared to the back and a bar tender came out 3-4 minutes later. We ordered a cocktail each and requested a menu only to be advised the kitchen was closed. It is now about 48 minutes till closing. After building up my client's appetite, based on reviews posted, I was not only embarrassed but have now lost SEVERAL credibility points with my guests. I usually give second chances. Professionals know anything can go wrong with anything at anytime and most are very understanding and forgiving. I saw nothing that would give me the confidence to go back. Two stars given for the location's historical value and upscale settings. read more
