Gigi's (CLOSED)

If you want amazing California-influenced French food and well-made cocktails, go to Gigi’s. If you want to see paparazzi attempt to snap photos of B-listers, go to Gigi’s. If you want a sculptural hunk of bread as moving as any exhibition at LACMA, go to Gigi’s. If you want to dress up, go to Gigi’s. Despite the mid-luxury cars lining the nearby curbs and the tryhard crowd, the food at this NYC-inspired upscale French-ish dinner spot with an intimate dining room and string-lit sidewalk patio makes trying to snag a reservation more than worthwhile. They now also offer a smaller food menu at their gorgeous bar, a friendlier set-up for last minute walk-ins.
