"The best way for me to explain my Gigi’s lunch experience is come for the food, not necessarily the service. My wife had a good first time at Gigi’s and wanted me to try it. The host who seated us didn’t seem very interested in helping us. In fact, we walked by him because he didn’t engage us initially to gauge whether we were eating there. He did seat us outside as requested, but wasn’t very vocal or friendly. Our waiter was great. He was a little slow at providing us the basics like water but we noted it wasn’t due to lack of effort as much as he was helping with tables with many people throughout the outside dining area. However, once we mentioned to him we needed help with those items, he was very proactive about helping. He was very friendly. I ordered the shrimp empanadas for appetizer and tagliatelle bolognese for entrée. The appetizers came quickly but our entrées came after a while. Likely, this was due to what I ordered but I did note individuals that came after us got their food faster than we did. I will say, though, the food here blew me away! The shrimp empanadas were extraordinary! The tagliatelle was perfect and scrumptious! Price-wise, cooked entrées are pricey, but you get what you pay for — exceptional quality. Other items, such as sandwiches, are reasonable for the quality. I typically appreciate the phrase: “Good things come to those who wait.” Great things come from this kitchen. The service on our visit was just a little off."
