Fantastic experience overall. It’s evident that the staff behind Bar Gigi are very creative and mindful of each ingredient. The dishes were very unique and packed with flavour. The crispy squash and the prawn toast were notably delicious.

Loved the restaurant transformation. It is cozy, comfortable with great food and service. We had three yummy bites from the menu - scallops, shrimp toast and crispy squash. Would do them all again with the good wine and service. A perfect pre concert spot. Reservation was easy to get, just make sure you give lots of time before your preferred seating - such a fun place is hard to get into and you want to be there!

This is such a neat spot. With such a small amount of tables you get great service. The custom cocktails are fun, and I’m pretty sure the bartender could make you anything your heart desires. We got the special, and three seafood dishes and a veggie. Everything tasted great- the major highlight is the prawn toast. It’s like if a grilled cheese and a lobster roll had a baby, and that baby was delicious! If you twisted my arm for a criticism… I would say that I wish the sauces were a bit thicker… but only because they are so delightful I want them to stick to every bite… and I’m pretty sure it’s rude to lick the plate in a 10 table fine dining establishments

Fabulous food and great service, as always! The special gnudi with morel mushrooms was beautifully textured, earthy and buttery. The thinly sliced butternut squash with grana padano was roasted to perfection! 😋

Absolutely delicious food and cocktails. Service was on point, and as always, comfortable and not at all pretentious. It’s silly if you haven’t been here yet.

The execution of the dishes was outstanding. Every dish we had was beautifully presented and so tasty. We particularly loved the special: gnudi with brown sauce and sauteed fresh morrel mushrooms. The servers were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive.
