The food at Giaxa is truly commendable. The shrimp risotto was a highlight, boasting amazing flavors that perfectly balanced the creamy texture of the risotto with the succulent, well-seasoned shrimp. Each bite was a testament to the kitchen's skill and dedication to quality.

The lamb stew, another dish we tried, was rich and flavorful, offering a hearty and satisfying experience. However, it could have benefited from a bit more cooking time, as the meat was slightly tough. Despite this minor flaw, the depth of flavor in the stew was impressive and enjoyable.

Service at Giaxa was impeccable. The staff were attentive, friendly, and professional, ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience was pleasant and smooth. Their dedication to excellent service added a significant positive note to our visit.

Overall a 4 star experience mainly because we were charged for 2 portions of the bread. We did not ask for seconds but the waiter insisted on bringing us more so we agreed. The mandatory “cover charge” is for the bread, olives, and gazpacho, which we knew about from the menu and these reviews. However, insisting me have more of a dish that I did not ask for then charging me for it doesn’t seem right to me? The food was good but I would not come back here for this reason. It’s not about the money, but the principle/restaurant ethics.

We were looking for a nice place to dine at for our last night in Hvar and Giaxa did not disappoint.
To start they brought us some homemade bread and olives (which were incredibly delicious) and some homemade “pie”.
We tried the local white wine which was very smooth and lightweight.
As an appetizer we wanted something light so we ordered the monkfish carpaccio which was very delicate and refreshing.
To eat we had the tuna fish which was my favorite, grilled to perfection paired with baked potatoes and also the saffron prawn risotto.
Everything was delicious and the service was top!

Had a fantastic lunch here.  It was delicious and presented as artwork.  I had the lunch special and my wife had the lobster and pasta.   We shared and loved both of them

I had a great time here! The food was delicious: got some free appetizers which was a nice touch! The bread was simply out of this world and the lamstew was nice! Gnocci could have been a touch less doughy in my opinion but the gravy and the supersoft lamb definitely made up for it!
The waiter was very friendly, which definitely elevated the experience! I loved the location as well, nice and cool!
