Gigi's Montauk Reviews
Charred octopus was the best we've had over 20 years. Pepper tuna & halibut were perfect. Dining al fresco, the sound of the surf & lights of distant ships for a view? Terrific.
First time dining at Gurneys. Special occasion. My birthday. 66! My 35 year old son took me. We expected the greatest experience at GiGi's. Nope! Waiter Sammy and Staff so not friendly. I had to ask his name. No small talk or smiles. Food was delicious. Had to keep asking for water. But a terrible experience. Sadly.
The best in the State!
