Gigi's On Fairmount

Dinner was fabulous. Every bite was flavorful. It was ever so slightly too dark and ever so slightly too loud but not enough to detract. The wait staff and owner were all amazingly friendly. You should go and have dinner there Today.

I went here on a friend's recommendation, and I probably never would have found it otherwise. Best described as a boutique eatery, this cozy restaurant was a delightful surprise. It's a small space that makes no apologies for what it is. Yes, you might wait awhile for their tiny kitchen to turn your order around, but the wait staff is very attentive, and you'll be rewarded with THE BEST turkey sandwich you've ever had.

We stopped in for brunch. The brunch menu is not the menu posted on line and is a bit more limited. My wife had the French toast and I had the Juan Machata (?). Both were plates were good. They do not offer soup during brunch, but I did manage to get a bowl of soup. It was curried corn chowder. The soup was the highlight of the meal. The corn was obviously fresh and was not overcooked. I felt it could use a bit more cream, or perhaps coconut milk, while my wife thought it was perfect as is. Staff was attentive and friendly.

Without any reservation, ahem, I recommend this neighborhood restaurant/bar. The owners are really special people, very accommodating and generous. The service is outstanding – the hostess bartender and servers are very personal and very efficient.

I have nothing but great things to say about Gigi’s on Fairmount. The food is consistently great. I’ve never ordered anything that I didn’t love. The wait staff is amazing. And the dining atmosphere is incredible. It’s intimate and seducing. I can’t recommend this place enough. By far one of the most amazing places in Cleveland if you’re looking for an elevated meal apart from a chain restaurant. Thank you, guys. Keep up the good work! Trust me, you won’t be dissatisfied with Gigi’s.. much love!
