Two buddies and I enjoyed a birthday brunch on June 3rd and everything was top notch save for a lack of ice in my cranberry juice and a decaffeinnated cappachino being brought to the table before brunch was served. The waiter was pleasant and professional -- the food delicious and attractively presented. Two of us decided on the brioche bread in creme anglaise for dessert and the waiter must have read our minds because he recommended it to us just seconds before we ordered (mine came with a sparkler inserted into a giant strawberry to mark my birthday). This is a small restaurant with maybe ten tables maximum and we suspect a hidden gem on Cornelia Street that has a regular clientele but is not much known outside of the neighborhood -- and it should stay that way. One can tell a fine restaurant by its bathroom and Le Gigot's was clean and attractively decorated with a stylish touch of white washclothes in lieu of paper towels. Hey, when we leave a $2.00 bill as part of the overall tip that means the waiter is special and the restaurant is special. We know that $2.00 bills are lucky omens. We will be back, Le Gigot with more $2.00 bills and hungry appetites.
Pros: Service/decor/wait staff/bathroom
Cons: acoustics/a bit cramped
