Gigi's Restaurant
Reviews
Had our wedding rehearsal dinner here, after multiple other trips for happy hour and dinner. Managers and staff were extremely courteous, dinner was great. This is a really nice place to go if you are looking for something away from downtown. Drink prices seem a bit high, but not unreasonable.
Disappointing. Initially a nice feel to the establishment...even after having to wait several minutes at the hostess station to be greated. Used Open Table to make reservations which were handled well. Waitress initially was prompt, took drink orders and starters were brought timely after ordering. Essentially after this it was downhill. Entrees were very slow coming...3 tiny bread baskets later entress were presented. Presentation was somewhat confusing with my quail and overly simple for my wife and daughters grouper. Several minutes into the meal my daughters meal was discovered very undercooked. It took until well after my wife and I finished our dinners that the waitress finally came back within range for me to hail her and address the undercooked fish. 5 minutes later the uncooked fish portion was returned from the kitchen and placed in front of my daughter, quite unprofessionally. The restaurants efforts to make amends were to offer a 5% discount on our meal tab against a $28 entree which was uncooked. Last feedback...drinks were never offered to be refreshed nor refilled. Very disappointed after what began as a promising experience. Highly unlikely to return or recommend.
Bar staff knows how to make cocktails. I am always encouraged when someone in State College can make something good off menu. Food is not especially memorable.
I go there a couple of times a week. If you haven't been in a while try it again. Early on the service left something to be desired. But they have made a fantastic turn around. Now I can recommend.
