Had a lovely Saturday night dinner here! The food was spectacular - truly fresh ingredients and…read morehigh quality, worth every cent. We had the squash bread with apple jam and the bone marrow + steak tartare as starters. Both were so good, especially the steak tartare that just tasted so clean and fresh, pairing nicely with the richness of the bone marrow. It came with these little potato slices that were scooped out to provide a perfect vehicle for the marrow/tartare. My partner had the carrot tart tartin, which he loved, and my scallops with morel mushrooms were perfectly cooked, with the hazelnuts providing such a nice texture. He enjoyed his phony negroni (they also had other NA options, including other mocktails, an NA beer, and an NA Riesling) and I really liked my Good Shepherd cocktail, their unique take on a dirty martini. We were too full for dessert, unfortunately. The service was great - attentive and friendly, but it felt like we were able to take our time and enjoy ourselves without feeling rushed, even though the place was busy. It is definitely on the pricier side and I would recommend reservations as the place was pretty full, but I would absolutely recommend this spot for a delicious, quality meal in Rhinebeck!

Vegan stuffed squash ratatouille, with herbs, rice, etc. I'm grateful for a real meal, but I think it needed to be on a base of some beans. Fried chicken with dill pickles with buttermilk ranch dip was delicious and tender, collard greens were packed with flavor. Miso marinated black Cod with mushrooms and red lentil puree was enjoyed. All delish! Bar decor is chic and stylish. Not too noisy on a Sunday night. Small place with limited seating. Nice bar. Great ambiance. Service was perfect. Sign was tiny.

The place looks really cool and I saw people eating outside, which looks like it would have been enjoyable. Our party of four sat inside; I was afraid it would be very loud but the acoustics were really good and even though it was lively, we could hear each other and not the other tables, which was awesome. Our server was Patrick and he was amazing. He had recommendations for everything and he didn't miss. I don't even know the name of the cocktail I had (maybe a Manhattan Brooklyn or something like that?) because I told him what I liked and he brought his recommendation, which was perfect. He also warned us not to fill up on the delicious hot rolls they served because portions were big for the entrees and again, he was on target. He brought my husband a glass of wine that he absolutely loved as well. We shared artichoke dip to start and it was really delicious. I couldn't have eaten most of it myself. I had the NY Strip steak and it came with spinach and mashed potatoes. It was very good.....it's not the best steak I ever had but it was high quality and reasonably priced. For dessert, he recommended a few items and we liked them all. There was an orange cake which was awesome, and also some blueberry cake which was amazing. The Dubai chocolate cake was good and if we had only had that, I would say it's good but it was not match for the other two. What elevates this to five stars for me is the overall experience. I loved the atmosphere, the whole team there is really focused on delivering a memorable service experience and Patrick just took it over the top. I don't think it would be possible to have a bad meal if he was your server. He's just excellent and he's what tipped the scales from four stars to five stars.

4.5 rounded up. Loved the wine (got the Sancerre but the Sauvignon blanc I tasted wasn't bad…read moreeither) as well as the complimentary bread to start (warm, soft, and very fresh with soft butter). The starters were also pretty good - we got the mushroom bisque and the baby arugula salad with goat cheese wontons. For entrees, we got the lobster pasta which I liked a lot but my husband didn't (a bit too creamy and mushy for him I think - and admittedly the lobster was a bit overcooked and rubbery), and the Hudson valley duck Peking style (I wouldn't recommend this - it was sadly not that great). We ended with the tiramisu, which was decent. Overall, pretty good food relatively speaking and look forward to returning!

The ambiance, staff, patrons and drinks were lovely. We tried the Balkan Dancing night with MacNCheez and had a uniquely memorable and fun(rather silly, for us) evening; would definitely go back and recommended it to friends. (Pro Tip: Any type of dancing is a huge plus if you're trying to stay sane! Just go for it!) This place is an escape and a joy as we live through this dark, scary time in history. Sometimes, the fight-of-the-hour is to refuel with laughter and know that you're showing up for a terrific little business and band. Get off the couch tonight! Live an interesting life! (Full disclosure, at one point, there was an openly critical woman dancing next to me as I stumbled along but do I think this place is responsible for one grump's tacky behavior? Did I let her ruin my fun? Nope and nope. 95% of the people were awesome to me, it's just math).

All you could taste was the hoisin. So sweet it buried the duck and the pickled vegetables. Why was it garnished with random lettuce? Who knows? The heavy-handed hoisin was bad, but the buns' lack of fluffiness was downright depressing. The cocktails were a blast. The one mocktail was a hit. The tiki-themed Portal, served in a poisoned-apple mug, was fun. The espresso martini was the highlight of the night. I could have used 40oz of it. Recommend the drinks. Skip the bao.

I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at Gigi's during a family trip to the Hudson Valley…read more The aggregated 3.5 star rating (at the time we visited) had me thinking "it's probably fine" but didn't expect much more. I got more! We were in the back room with a large 2 family party and everyone had a good experience. The staff was attentive and took great care of us. The star of the show for me was the Bianca "Skizza" - Skizzas are what they call their pizza-like experience....super thin dough, not quite NYC style in its taste and texture, but at least as thin with a unique overall texture and flavor to it. The kind of taste that sticks with you and makes you wonder "when can I have that again." I tend to get margherita or a basic tomato cheese situation to suss out any place offering pizza of any kind, but strayed from my comfort level and went for the Bianca which was truly a delicious experience. Gigi Rosemary Fig Jam, Pear, Arugula, Goat Cheese, Mozzarella, Truffle Oil created a super delicious and crave worthy experience. I finished the whole pie by myself with no issues. (Okay, maybe my wife had a slice, it's hard to remember...I just remember every bite being delicious.) There are other vegetarian options including pastas and a lentil soup. Plus a delicious looking "Barbina" salad, and the menu is helpfully labeled with which items are vegetarian. There was something for everyone at Gigi's and everyone in our 16 member+ party was happy to have eaten there.

The Caesar salad was fresh and flavorful- a balanced blend of savory cheese and cashews with zingy dressing and fresh lemon. The caps and stems pizza was in what I would call a Detroit-style thin crust. The onions and mushrooms has a savory steakhouse flavor and the Parmesan garlic sauce was definitely garlicky but did not overpower the other toppings. The salad a pizza were enough for two with a solid amount left to take home. I have the raspberry Collins made with gin. I could taste fresh raspberry, and the soda did not drown out the gin flavor. Very nicely balanced. The service was quick and friendly. I would definitely recommend this to some looking for a bar with excellent food and drinks!

Small tasting room with wooden tables and benches, high ceilings and lots of natural light on the all white walls. 8 beers on tap. They don't do flights but will do half pours. Between my girlfriend and I, we tried most of the menu. To me the two standouts were the Schwarzbier (4.9% black lager) and the Co+lab (4.2% English ESB). Both were smooth and flavorful with a slight lingering bitterness. Low ABV makes them both quite quaffable, as they describe one of their other beers. We're from NJ where breweries are only allowed to serve the beer they brew on site and nothing else, so seeing food, wine, and cocktails on the menu was a novelty for us. We didn't try anything besides the beer, but there were some impressive offerings including a penicillin cocktail, and Knackwurst, oysters, and a variety of pizza. Overall a cool spot that we would definitely come back to if we're in the area again.
