Gigi’s

They were unprepared for our booking, asked us to wait outside (it’s mid November and freezing cold!) and then asked us to go have a drink somewhere else — absolutely unapologetic. Cocktails might be good, but not creative and we’ve seen staff arguing in front of customers and they all looked really unhappy. I feel bad about leaving a bad review, but we invited mum & dad here and they felt really uncomfortable.

Cocktails and Mayfair. My two favourite things… Sadly it doesn’t quite hit the spot if you know what I mean.
Firstly it’s more of a restaurant than a bar but it doesn’t stop it from being nice. The venue has a French bistro vibe to it. My friends and I chose to sit outside because we’re nosy and want to know what’s going on around us haha!
They have outdoor heaters and the chairs are comfortable. The
Cocktails however just don’t deliver I’m afraid… For £15 a glass I expect layers of flavour! Not something you would get in a rundown pub about to be demolished for a badger infestation! I had three different cocktails that night and the only one I enjoyed was the lychee one! So there you have it. Not a great location for exciting cocktails

Ahhhhhh *scrubs forehead*
I think the third star is simply Because it’s in Mayfair and people with pretty bags were passing by.
I went there for Wednesday cocktails, as you do, or don’t. And I have to say, I was a little bit disappointed. Or raging mad, you choose.
The staff were super friendly, the bar was very clean and the floor made me want to get on my knees and lick it. The guy who mops needs a raise.
But. .. . Here’s the but. .. , The main component to their cocktails seems to be lime, which is great if you’re a lime eating monster. If you’re not, you tend to grumble and gag a lot.
The Mayfair lover in me powered through, ordering more drinks.
Dammit!!! I should’ve quit while I was ahead! I could’ve bought a cute hat with that money!
The only drink I had that was nice is the pink lychee. Sweet, pink and well. .. . No lime.
Would I recommend this place? No.

having had such a wondrous vegetarian meal at my previous visit, my latest visit was a bit of let-​down for me. I had the half-​lobster which I found to be quite bland and a little bit raw.

Excellent food and lovely staff! The rib eye steak was amazing! Can’t wait to get back there!

The lobster in the lobster pasta is good, but the pasta is a little hard to chew, risotto is very cheesy, a bit greasy but okay? The duck breast is hard to chewy as well, my least favourite dish of this dinner.
Chocolate Mondrian is okay, the caramel ice cream on it is really good and sweet, but the chocolate brownie base is not that good, just average level.
For cocktails, Pink lychee is good, Long Island is okay, but they look different from the pics on Instagram, but disappointing.
Overall the service is good but kind of slow.

My friend and I both bought a timeout voucher for this place — standard £16 for 4 cocktails
We went one evening after work late in the week and it was pretty busy! We had dinner booked for somewhere else so decided to just use one of the vouchers and come back again!
We hadn’t booked and weren’t sure we could be seated however after five minutes deliberation sat us in the bar area — which was all good, just not sure why it was a tricky decision for them
I’d already picked the two cocktails I wanted to try however after asking for the silvertini they said they couldn’t do this as too many full price paying customers had ordered it and it took too long to make — meh fair enough
The other cocktails were all really good and the staff were friendly but soooo slow
We came back again after work earlier in the week and it was much quieter! We were seated in the main restaurant which was ok but lacked atmosphere as no one else really there (serves us right for drinking so early ey?). Finally got our Silvertinis which were yuuuum!
Nice bar, food looked nice. Would recommend but I would only go back with the voucher as otherwise I can’t afford a drink there! Priced at £10−15
