The charming setting of Gigi’s on Fairmount manages to grab one's attention right from the word go. Matt black walls, snug window seating and an upscale yet relaxed ambiance that is only further enhanced by the pouring of numerous wines - Gigi’s is everything one could hope for from an intimate date night. Food is prepared from local produce and includes season's fresh flavors. The menu constitutes both wine accompaniments for snacking such as charcuterie and fromages as well as full-fledged meals such as the Filet Mignon and Sea Scallops. Wines are delicious and the list endless - everything from Zinfandel to the fruity Barbera deserves a sip. However, brace yourselves as this little bistro is known to host lengthy queues and reservations are not taken.
