    Gigi's was amazing - from the moment we walked in, we loved the decor, the ambiance. We were seated at a high top by the fire. So cozy on a cold evening. Our drinks were all spot on, and then the food came - and it exceeded our expectations. From start to finish - a 5 star review for this wonderful gem of a restaurant.

    We enjoyed what we ate and the service was great. It was a bit noisier than usual because there was a private birthday party in the room to the right of the entrance. A few of the menu items were out (and it was late -- we had a 7:45 pm reservation), and of course, they were the items I wanted to try -- the brie, the chimichurri for the salmon, and the pineapple upside-down cake. Hope we can get them another time!

    They sold out of smadhburgers, so we were told. Chicken tenders were over cooked, very dry. Service a little slow.

    The food was mediocre at best. The chicken dinner was made from unrecognizable chicken parts. What happened to chicken legs, thighs, etc., real chicken pieces?!? And the shrimp and grits! Enough grits for four with five shrimp swimming in a chopped ham sauce and where was the andouille??? Doesn’t even need the meat! The wine was good! The waitress with no interactive skills. This used to be a great place to eat. How disappointing!

    This was our first time at Gigi’s. We had the fried green tomato bruschetta (delicious!), shrimp and grits (also delicious) and shrimp carbonara (very good). The service was excellent and our food came out quickly. We were there on a Wednesday night, and had reservations, but would not have needed them. We will definitely go back!

    We enjoyed the fried green tomato bruschetta. The new salmon entree and the crab cake sandwich were both great.
