    Everything was amazing. Dishes are inventive and delicious. Service is fantastic and prices are really good. The ambience is lovely, tableware is beautiful and it’s so cool seeing the pasta being made in front of you. Only drawdown is that it was really cold! We were also the first sitting and went during the cold snap.

    Did you know that Gigi's is doing lunch on Saturday and Sunday now?? No, neither did we until we were looking for a good spot to have a Saturday lunch that was not in town at this crazy time of the year. And did we make the perfect choice!! It was everything we experience any time we go there for dinner - the food was so tasty and well presented. The people who work there seem to have a knack for keeping an eye on everything. And the ambience just makes you relax. And the Ranelagh location couldn't be better.

    Food was okay. A bit pricy for what you got, but it was Christmas, so that was okay. Service was kind, but very slow. Again it was Christmas so that was fine too. They added a service charge which is not customary in Ireland. Not cool. I was going to tip because again it was Christmas, but I don’t appreciate when it’s added already. We didn’t have a large group.
