At the risk of letting the word out, Le Gigot is a must. While the atmosphere is charming and the service gracious, it is the food that draws us back. The French onion soup is the best in the US (and France), but don't overlook the butternut squash/crayfish and mushroom/roasted garlic soups. Once you sample the crab cakes, you will be disappointed with them anywhere else. The fava bean salad with smoked gouda, walnuts and chive olive oil can't be beat. Plenty of other tasty salads to choose from. My husband rarely tears himself away from the roasted chicken with garlic mashed potatoes. The steak frites is a classic. The fish selections are always fresh. The attention paid to each plate that leaves the kitchen is clear. The chef has a wonderful sense of favor which is reflected throughout the menu. Le Gigot is a favorite of ours!
