    Griot Tacos
    Tequila B.

    Wanted to try this place out. Went with my sister in law. I ordered the griot tacos, she ordered the fish and grits. The tacos were tasty, only thing was missing was a sauce to pour over the tacos. They were a bit dry but the flavors were there. I did have a bite of the fish and grits, nice flavors as well. The ambiance was nice inside. I was expecting some live music but unfortunately that wasn't available the night I was there. Our waitress was very nice and sweet and so were the other ladies working as well.

    My friend wanted to check this place out, as she had seen it on TikTok. So we got our little group and met up for lunch around 1pm on a Saturday. Upon entering we were asked if we had a reservation, which we did not - and the lady said she'll see what she can do and was able to find us a table toward the back corner. The place was an absolute vibe. I ordered the fish and grits and oh my, it was beyond delicious! I'd go back just for that. One of my friends ordered the shrimp burger and said she would order it again. The ambience and music was great - but definitely not a place you can have much conversation as the music was very loud and hard to hear each other. I would definitely return, next time with a bigger group and a reservation.

    Well I went to the grand opening of Gigi's bar and cafe and I must say it was fantastic. Gigi is lovely the bartenders were great the drinks were great the people next to me had food they said it was fabulous and the band was awesome I wish Gigi so much luck it's a very strange location but thank God for GPS she's going to do great!!!

    Love the atmosphere.

    Great service. Enjoyed the layout of the restaurant and bar. Live DJ loved it and will definitely come back again.

    Ambiance was good. The menu was misleading as they have 2-3 different menus (depending on what site you search them on). They only offer a few dishes in the restaurant which was an immediate disappointment. The service is okay. The staff is not aware of the ingredients in the dishes which is a red flag. They try their best but you can tell that there is no true training. The soul rolls were another disappointment as they were tiny and just contained collard greens. They serve two different wings which one was breaded and the other is naked. They both were bland and lacked flavor. Eating the chicken was like eating bland flour. The shrimp looked good but were super salty. The mac and cheese looked promising but tasted like refrigerator. They have a bar but do not serve real cocktails. They serve a rum-like wine which has no discernible taste. At some point in time they may have been a great spot but I feel that they bait you with the online menu. Not a spot I would recommend. For the price you can find better. They receive a 3 star only because the servers look like they care and want to do a good job.

    Gigi's is a soul food restaurant located in Sunrise. They have a small stage set up inside and as I understand it they sometimes have live bands and comedy shows during which they charge a $10 cover fee. They were featured on Robert Irvine's show Restaurant impossible in 2015. According to an update from the show's website, Gigi's reports they kept the interior the same while changing some of the menu items. I was invited to a friend's birthday party here. As soon as I stepped inside I could see I was the only person on a Saturday night which felt very strange. As I waited for the other guests to arrive I ordered from the bar a Bob Marley ($8) made with Rhumbero, Pineapple, OJ, Pina Colada Mix, and grenadine. It was sweet and fruity but had no discernable alcohol. The restaurant is cute inside with musical touches like a wall decorated to look like gold records and a drum kit light fixture. Our group of around 12 people were seated at a long wooden table. There wasn't any entertainment that evening and no one else came in the entire night while we were there although I believe they do get crowded on the nights they have events. On the plus side my friend got a private party. After everyone arrived we ordered our food. I was disappointed to be given a menu that had three appetizers and six entrée choices. Most of what I had been planning to order from pictures online were not offered. Almost everyone at the tables expressed disappointment in both the menu and the lack of alcohol in the drinks. The people who ordered the $13 shrimp cocktail complained about it's size. Some people had the chicken and waffles and the grouper and grits and those portions looked okay. I was trying to stay away from fried so I ordered a classic Caesar salad topped with shrimp ($20). It was fine but not a $20 salad. It was a bagged salad you buy in the supermarket for $3 topped with a few shrimp. The person who tried the Soul Rolls, egg rolls stuffed with collard greens was not impressed. Our group was charged an automatic gratuity of 15 percent. The lack of people in the restaurant made it easy for the guest of honor to take pictures with everyone. I guess it worked out okay for the birthday party but based on what I tasted I wouldn't come back just for dinner.

    Pomegranate Margarita

    Nice place to wind down the end of a work week. No live band the evening I visited but music played at a pleasurable listening volume. The tracks were uncensored, not radio version, so one song was particularly profanity laced. Wait service is friendly, prompt and attentive. Mixed drinks are large, well made and inexpensive. Pomegranate margarita was tasty. Happy hour buy 1 get 2nd drink 50% off. This visit more dinner menu items were available. The fried shrimp were large, lightly coated and hot, served with remoulade dipping sauce. The two sides of collard greens and macaroni and cheese were generous portions but could use more seasoning and better reheating. Suggest calling ahead before visiting to confirm if venue is booked for private event.

    Loved the live music especially throw back r&b! Food and drinks were amazing. Quick service and kind hosts. We also came back for comedy show.

    It was my first time checking out this spot, they had free live comedy, which was very nice. 2 out of the 4 acts were really funny, but you know comedy can be tricky. I love the setup and the way the menus are discs and really nice names. I tried the Bob Marley, it was really freaking good. Sweet with a lil spice, very nice. Then I ate, chicken and waffles and some sweet potato fries, the food was really good. Very tasty, the chicken was seasoned very well with a light crisp. The belgian waffle was fluffy and tasted very good, homemade deliciousness. The sweet potato fries were good as well, Brown sugar on top was a very nice touch. Unfortunately, the only rough part was our waiter was a bit rude. She rushed me a lot and forgot about us, the cafe wasn't packed just yet so I don't understand why this was the case, but I didn't let her ruin our night.

    This is the fish sandwich (fried) with the sweet potatoes fries with the marshmallow sauce.. yum!!!

    We went to this place earlier in the day where they just opened up. We had the best waitress which was also the bartender and she was awesome. I believe her name was deanne.‍ she made us her signature drink, the watermelon mojito. And I dont care tooo much for mojitos but hers were awesome. The food was delicious and prepared and delivered by the cook which was a nice touch. I know they have different events at night so we will most definitely be there.

    9Gigi's was on Restaurant Rescue. I wasn't there before the remodel but things look good now. Very small interior, full service bar and has a full service kitchen. There is a stage in front for music, comedy shows and karoke. Gigi's attracts alot of people. Friday nite, the nite I went, was packed. Drinks and food were good. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The shrimp grits is wonderful as well. Unfortunately the comedians who performed that evening were okay. They were late starting the show, I was going to leave but decided to stay. Myself and other people left before the show ended. Plenty of parking and outdoor seating available.

When we first pulled up, the parking lot was nearly empty, and inside there were only a few people scattered around. My companion went straight to the restroom, so I found a seat at the bar. The first thing we were told was that the kitchen was already closed even though it was only 9 PM which was a bit disappointing since I was hungry. Since it's an Irish pub, they mainly serve beer and wine, so I ordered a Guinness followed by a light beer. Despite the slow start, the night turned out to be unexpectedly enjoyable. We ended up meeting some wonderful people from Italy, Poland, and Turkey. It was especially nice connecting with the gentleman from Turkey, as I had traveled there last year, and we had a great conversation about that experience. The same went for the gentleman from Italy. It was refreshing and easy to talk to everyone. Even after closing, we stayed outside for a while continuing our conversations. The atmosphere inside the pub had a classic Irish feel, very reminiscent of my time in Ireland years ago, with signed celebrity photos decorating the walls adding to its charm. Also money from various countries. The lady behind the bar was extremely friendly and attentive throughout the night, constantly checking in and making sure we were taken care of. It's been years since I last visited, but after this experience, I'll definitely be going back soon.

Our servicer was very attentive and friendly. She was patient and answered all of our questions. The reason for the three stars is because I tried to reach this establishment multiple times leading up to my birthday and didn't get a response until the day of. I called the number a different times during business and sent messages to their social media page to find out if I needed to make reservations. This nearly caused me to not even attend this establishment. Also on Wednesday if you have a group of 5 or more ladies you receive a free bottle of wine. I do wish we were able to choose the wine because we were given an extremely dry wine and no one drank it. So I feel that was wasteful.
