   ..but unfortunately not sure I would pay the full menu price to go back. As we were seated, noticed the upholstery was a little torn. The bread arrived, it tasted great, but texture felt like it had been out since lunch time. Starters were mixed. My husbands said his crab starter was exceptional, my goats cheese and beetroot was a little bland. Mains of flattened chicken were lovely - can definitely recommend as very tasty! Desserts were... just not decadent/special enough. Service was fantastic. Great staff! It is a great place to be with regards to a bit of people/car watching - but think maybe the meal was not up to what I expected. Not sure if it was because we were on the deal - maybe I will take back what I said at the start, and go back again for the full menu. I would still recommend because of the location and service - and the chicken was great!

   I had my 26th birthday here and I am so glad!! They decorated my table with balloons and confetti, made sure all my guests were happy and attended to my every needs. The DJ on the night was also lovely, he played any song I requested despite it not being the average song choice for such a place. Anything we asked for we got immediately. I am thankful to manager Mo for making my birthday one to remember. All my friends say how good it was. I will most definitely be coming back in the near future. Thank you all at Gigi's for making my night that extra bit special! Absolutely loved it :)

   I had the worst dinner since a very long time in this MOCK Italian restaurant. the menu has a very reductive choice of dishes, and most of them they do not have any association with the glorious Italian food. The service is very approximative and their focaccia is as soft as a brick. The lobster linguine were tasteless and soggy. The DJ is another nonsense of this awkward place. Shame to dare to associate this cuisine with the Italian, and by the way, the owner is Russian and no Italian staff working there.

   Lovely food but portions on the small side also felt rushed by the servers otherwise would recommend.

   the food and surroundings of the restaurant was great. However, it was planned for a birthday and having spoken to the restaurant a couple months before, they forgot and would not do anything despite knowing about this already.

    We started with the octopus dish and the beef tartare. Both were excellent and beautifully presented. Next, we ordered the black tagliatelle and the ravioli. Again, both were amazing and the tagliatelle was really memorable. For our mains we had the miso cod and the lemon sole. The miso cod was unfortunately too heavy on the miso so I couldn't eat it. The kale had soaked up on the miso, too, so I had to return it. The lemon sole was chilli was excellent though and had a bit of an Asian fusion taste to it. I then got the sea bass with black quinoa, which, again was just spot on and perfectly grilled! Overall a really good menu!
