We were a party of 8. We took up an entire section of this cute and quaint little place. They had a large selection of specials that were not on the menu that our server explained to us. We ordered wine, starters, mains and dessert with coffee. Everything was great. The escargot is amazing. I had risotto with shrimp and crab. It was rich, but exactly what I was looking for. The desserts were great too. The restaurant is small but you feel like family there. They pay careful attention to your food and experience. The neighborhood is safe and off the beaten path.
Unfortunately a very forgettable meal for me. I came here for dinner. We were seated outdoors immediately. They have some indoor seating - about 8 tables mostly for couples. Outside they have about 5 tables in the summer. The service was relatively slow and since the menu didn't have too many options I was hoping all the food that they did they would do well. From menu to leaving we ordered about 3 dishes and it took 2.5 hours. At best the food was fresh but it wasn't either tasty or memorable. It didn't have either flavor complexity or interest in terms of ingredient combination. I would probably come here for a basic meal but at the prices I expected something a little more upscale I suppose. We tried the heirloom tomato salad, the crab cake and the ravioli. I would pass on this place for dinner - might be a better lunch option to be fair
Favorite Village dining experience. So intimate and friendly service. We love Pamela the owner and her wait staff. Food is delicious and always cooked perfectly. Those crab cakes are amazing.
I can't speak highly enough about this restaurant. The food and service were exquisite. Very nice menu selection with good quality ingredients perfectly prepared.The outdoor dining was very, very nice - full shade cover and what looked like at least partial rain cover, comfortable seating with sufficient room for pedestrians to pass without crowding. The interior of the restaurant was beautiful and charming. Rest rooms were clean and also beautiful. The interior was pleasantly air conditioned. Parking: On-street parking. Convenient to public transportation.
Excellent french restaurant. Had the bouillabaisse and it was incredible. Staff was really friendly and professional
I can never say enough wonderful things about Le Gigot. We had our Wedding Anniversary dinner there last week and as always it was a night to remember. I rave about this lovely restaurant often for a reason. The excellent cuisine and lovely ambience always remain the same. My husband had the Rack of Lamb his favorite. He said it was absolutely sumptuous. I had Coq au vin which was also delicious. For dessert we had the perfect sweet treat, Tarte Tatin. The wine list is a wine aficionado's dream. Our fabulous server, Daniel recommended a wine that we really enjoyed. Daniel's knowledge of fine wine is as good as any Sommelier you could hope to meet. Of course, the success of this restaurant is owed to the beautiful owner/ host Pamela. We have all been through a lot over the past two years and thanks to her this restaurant has never veered off course. The outstanding chef and the welcoming staff Daniel, Derrick and Andreus will keep you coming back. By the way, it doesn't have to be a special occasion to enjoy this lovely gem. They serve a wonderful brunch on weekends. We highly recommend Le Gigot. We can't wait to go back.
This is my new "favorite French place". It is really tiny with very authentic atmosphere of French Street Cafe, even the building where it located is dated probably back to 19th century. And that is a limitation if you planning to have a dinner with a large group of people. But this is the only downside of this place. The food was simply delicious! Everything! Oysters, salad, soup, fries were just so good. But they had special of the day seafood risotto, that I have odred was just out of this world. It was so good, that two of my friends ordered it to go, despite been full and satisfied by their dishes. So I definitely recommend this place especially for a date night.
Great boeuf Bourguignon. Hard to find! Very hard. Even in nyc. But what makes it extra special is that this street is quiet and small, another rarity in NYC. not to mention the HOME of Taylor swifts penthouse she rented when first moving to nyc. She wrote a song about it called Cornelia street. Literally. Absolute gem of a spot. Phenomenal service. Eat here
Was bloated after the risotto and the duck. Service was okay. Waiters looked like homeless men from the 90s pretty embarrassing Way over priced for quality. I'm disappointed once again.Food: 1/5
The atmosphere and food was exceptional. Kind staff and a great vibe. Them bananas need Ice cream
