I was delighted to be 1 of approximately 5 tables against the window of the terrace where the Eiffel Tower could be seen in the background! I was buzzing, the service we got( can't remember our waiters name) was absolutely impeccable, he brought us the catch of the day (a huge lobster) and was happy to assist in any questions about the menu with perfect English. When we arrived it screamed luxurious from the building, to the way we were greeted and so swiftly taken to our seats. However I love Italian food (can't really go wrong) and all I wanted was for there to be a view of the Eiffel Tower. I was very sceptical due to the poor reviews on here. I had originally booked girafe but didn't realise it was a seafood restaurant, so cancelled it and based off TikTok recommendations, I booked Gigi's. I booked dinner at Gigi's for my 24th birthday meal. This place is managed by a troupe of clowns and I literally left with damages. To top it all off, the chairs at our table had EXPOSED STAPLES? that gave me deep cuts in my fingers each time I went to move the chair to stand or sit closer to the table. TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATER (on our last night in Paris) the waiter returns to the table to tell us we still need to pay?Īll of this treatment made sense when I did more research and found out they had a documented history of discrimination. I spoke to the manager Morgan to communicate what happened and that we shouldn’t pay since we didn’t receive our food and she left the table and never came back to address any conclusion or apologize ? greeted to take our order (strike 2, 3, 4), our waiter ignored us for hours (strike 5), food delivered to the table was MEDIOCRE to poor (strike 6), we waited an hour for our drinks and food to arrive (strike 7), still no service from wait staff (strike 8), no requests addressed (strike 9), THEN 2 HOURS LATER THEY TOLD US THE KITCHEN WAS CLOSED AND WE WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO BE SERVED OUR DINNER !!!!!Īnd they demanded that we still pay for this disrespectful level of service. I visited for dinner with my elderly disabled mother and was offered a “lovely” table in the corner in the words of the hostess (strike 1), we then waited 30 mins to get water menus and be. However, bizarrely you have to hover on the fire exit stairs to see this!!! More The plusside of the restaurant was funky music, atmospheric lighting and the view of the Eiffel Tower at night. We accompanied our meal with a lovely Proevence rose but this took ages to arrive and then was placed in an ice bucket miles away from our table which would be fine if the waitress had been attentive and kept our glasses topped up but she appeared disinterested in looking after us and indeed many of our other fellow diners, so we ended up moving the ice bucket to sit beside our table so we could serve ourselves! And the Ragu pasta dish which we found incredibly rich and heavy. Our mains were Lemon, Ricotta & Sage ravioli which was just very lemony and didn’t have a balanced flavour. We ordered truffle arancini to start and they were lacking in flavour and tasted more like they had just been taken out of the freezer rather than been prepared by hand. It seems you only qualify for this if you phone in advance and specifically request it so that’s definitely worth doing on a warm evening. We were disappointed not to be seated on the terrace. This was the best service we received all evening. We arrived early and as there was no one at the desk to seat us, we made our way to the bar and a friendly barmen took our drink order. you feel as if you’re somehow not good enough! Even though we were dressed up nicely and happy to spend on pre-dinner drinks, dinner and so on. We weren’t sure what to expect as reviews had been mixed! And now we understand why! There is an air of superiority and aloofness amongst the staff of this establishment which instead of making you feel special because you are booked to dine there, makes.
