Walk into this restaurant decorated in a lively royal blue and prepare to indulge in Bernstein's modern takes on classic dishes like Short Ribs and Carbonara. Although everything on the menu is delicious, we recommend partaking in the True Michy’s Experience ($70) where you will sample your way through chef’s tasting menu.

Considered an urban dining experience, Gigi offers the opportunity for diners to enjoy a casual and communal dinner in which dishes are brought out for the table to indulge, allowing for a tapas-style meal that brings those involved closer together. Gigi has become a local hotspot for its highly-regarded asian buns, especially the duck version. The eclectic atmosphere and hip vibe lead to a truly unique experience. Gigi's soft-serve is a perfect ending to a meal, as it epitomizes that the restaurant does not take itself too seriously and just wants its patrons to enjoy themselves.
