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.
Opened in 2015, CODA is one of the ventures of local chef and restaurateur, Dante Bocuzzi. Considered to be the only live music spot in the neighborhood, it is tucked away in a basement. Though it is a bar as well, it was purported as a space for live performances by local and touring artistes. Thankfully it stays true to its purpose. The music list include genres of rock and roll, folk, blues and indie. The bright graffiti mural is an interesting backdrop of its stage. Showcasing the trademark of rock musicians and bands such as AC/DC, Kiss, The Rolling Stones, Duran Duran and Frank Zappa, the quirky mural adds to the character of this place. Nosh on a tazsty bites if feeling peckish and tipple on a few drinks as you enjoy the music played here.
