Our first time there but won’t be the last time after their great service. Derrick was really nice and thourough with the menus and also special meals of the day off the menu. I got octopus off the menu. Believe me or not it was my first time having octopi and it was delicious. The lamb was so delicious ( seasoning was great)
Highly recommended

Coats hung by the bar, sparkling drinks in hand, candles flickering, tiny place buzzing, neighbors tucked up in the window seat eyeing their regular table,….Le Gigot is a little slice of everything you dreamed of from a west village restaurant but rarely get.
Absolutely delicious melt in your mouth tagine and the best crab cakes I’ve ever had. Exemplary service. Thank you for a fabulous dinner in all ways.
Looking forward to returning.

Absolutely wonderful and lively neighborhood restaurant. Everything flowed perfectly as a small packed restaurant should on a Friday night. The staff was great and never once had to call for their attention. The food portions were massively delicious. Stay for desert. We had no regrets about this place.

My first time at a French restaurant! This place is quaint! Fabulous service! Food was fantastic and the wine was excellent! My sister had the duck confit. I had the steak frites. Both excellent. And the bananas flambé was the perfect ending to a superb meal! Hope to go again on my next visit!

Unfortunately a very forgettable meal for me.
I came here for dinner. We were seated outdoors immediately. They have some indoor seating – about 8 tables mostly for couples. Outside they have about 5 tables in the summer.
The service was relatively slow and since the menu didn’t have too many options I was hoping all the food that they did they would do well. From menu to leaving we ordered about 3 dishes and it took 2.5 hours.
At best the food was fresh but it wasn’t either tasty or memorable. It didn’t have either flavor complexity or interest in terms of ingredient combination. I would probably come here for a basic meal but at the prices I expected something a little more upscale I suppose. We tried the heirloom tomato salad, the crab cake and the ravioli.
I would pass on this place for dinner – might be a better lunch option to be fair

We just finished an excellent meal at Gigot. Delicious endive salad. Fresh favs beans. Plentiful escargot with onions and herbs.
The soft shell crabs were the best I’ve ever had. For dessert we had the profiterole. A wonderful night at this tiny, cute French restaurant tucked away on Cornelia street.

I’ve come 3 times over the last few years as I live in PA and don’t get to the city often. This place has blown me away every time. It’s expensive but it is worth it. Every single dish, from the fresh bread and butter to the decadent chocolate cake will make you glad you came. For appetizers, I recommend the escargots, steak tartare and buratta with peaches. For my main I always get the duck because it’s too good for me to even try anything else. It’s tender and flavorful. The potatoes au gratin are the best I’ve ever had and even the veggies (which I’m not normally a huge fan of eating) are well seasoned. I’m also not normally a chocolate cake person but I am for their chocolate cake. Go and enjoy because the experience of eating here really gives you an idea of what dining in a small bistro in France is like. Your taste buds will thank you.

We were a party of 8. We took up an entire section of this cute and quaint little place. They had a large selection of specials that were not on the menu that our server explained to us. We ordered wine, starters, mains and dessert with coffee. Everything was great. The escargot is amazing. I had risotto with shrimp and crab. It was rich, but exactly what I was looking for. The desserts were great too. The restaurant is small but you feel like family there. They pay careful attention to your food and experience. The neighborhood is safe and off the beaten path.

Riley was the most wonderful server! Daniel was also incredible. Both showed me that service here is 10/10. Can’t say enough good things. We had a delicious meal and the best ambience. They know what they’re doing here and we can’t wait to come back!

What a special place!
I made this reservation for my girlfriends who were visiting. The table we were waiting for was running behind and they kindly gave us each a free glass of wine.
The atmosphere is fantastic. Intimate and friendly. The waiters are so attentive to the little needs and were extremely thoughtful and friendly! The food is delicious. Lots of bread provided!
This is my favourite New York restaurant experience to date. I would highly recommend.
