| - Disclaimer: The following review is only for their Saturday Brunch.
I wanted to try out a new place to get brunch, just because I usually end up going to the same places (ie: Lucky's or Inn on Coventry), and I found Gigi's on Yelp. I had noticed that pretty much all the reviews were not for brunch, but I went ahead and came anyways.
On stepping into the store, you can tell it doesn't really have a brunch atmosphere, as the restaurant is pretty dark inside. Our waitress initially sat us at a table inside, but we asked if we could take the window seat--which was really nice.
The menu was French inspired, and doesn't have a ton of what you would expect for brunch. We ended up ordering the Lox, Challah French Toast, a Huevos Wrap, and a side of Rosemary Potatoes.
+LOX, this is like a bread board with lots of toppings you can mix and match. I was personally not a huge fan, and felt like the flavors leaned towards the sour side.
+CHALLAH FRENCH TOAST, this looked super delicious, but taste-wise was just average. I would prefer a normal french toast from somewhere else.
-HUEVOS WRAP, this came in a pretty small portion. It tasted fresh and flavorful, but pretty average. It also doesn't seem to fit too well with the rest of the menu.
-ROSEMARY POTATOES: I am still bitter about these. Our waitress asked me if I wanted to add the truffle and parm, and (blame my own stupidity for not checking the menu) I agreed. This adds another $3! to the price. The end result is not even impressive. The potatoes are cut into the tiniest little squares and I could barely taste, let alone see, any evidence of the truffle/parm.
Overall the food was not terrible, but if you want brunch, go somewhere else. I may come back another day to actually try their normal food (like that bruschetta board!)
