    Everything was absolutely amazing. Our waiter was so accommodating and understanding. The food was incredible. The fish was fresh and beautifully plated. The overall ambiance of the restaurant makes you feel as though you are dining in a movie. I recommend booking a dinner reservation.

    We had a wonderful 5-star experience! Our waiter, Zoran, was terrific and enjoyed his warmth and energy. He gave us a wine recommendation that was perfect and our meal was absolutely delectable. We were visiting our son, who lives in NYC, and he selected Il Giglio for us. We absolutely enjoyed our experience.
