Food: Uninspired plates, good portions

The star offering at Gigi's is the steak tartare, flawlessly seasoned to highlight the quality of its beef. The accompanying French fries are crispy and come with delicious aioli, while the caviar butter and bread pairing is allegedly handcrafted to perfection. Yet, the uninspiring menu and underwhelming execution pull the overall culinary experience down a notch, despite generous salad portions seemingly designed for sharing.

  • Large Portions

    Salads were generously sized, great for sharing with others at table.

  • Okay Taste

    Food was mostly good, portions and service varied, some dishes bland.

  • Low Quality

    Overly sweet mushrooms, flavorless gnocchi, overcooked pricey ribeye, lackluster lobster.

Vibe: Impeccable ambience, unappealing views

The intriguing blend of velvet booths and hand-painted ceilings create a charming dining environment inside Gigi's. It's a vibrant locale that attracts a trendy crowd and an Instagram-worthy setting. The drinks selection is extensive and creative. Unfortunately, the lackluster views from the outdoor seating section, overlooking an uninspiring parking lot and industrial buildings, drastically subtract from the overall vibe.

  • Great Ambiance

    Ambiance stunning with cozy velvet booths and hand painted ceilings.

  • Bad For Dates

    Tables too close, potentially loud environment, not ideal for intimate dates.

Perks: Smooth service marred by reservations

Patrons appreciate the free and readily available street parking at Gigi's. The establishment displays a bustling yet relaxed atmosphere, marked by a smooth service. However, reservations can be tricky to make, requiring planning and patience. The exterior patio area, a converted alley or parking lot, appears to be prone to noise and uncomfortably crowded. The proximity of tables and the potential for a loud environment can make it less than ideal for non-casual gatherings.

  • Easy To Park

    Free, easy street parking right in front highly appreciated by customers.

  • Okay To Hear

    Bustling yet relaxed atmosphere, with smooth service and friendly.

  • Bad Outdoor

    Patio is a cramped alley or parking lot, plagued by noise and crowds.
