GiGi's — Restaurant in San Francisco

Loved the wine here! My friend and I did the non-alcoholic chamborg to start!

Followed by a glass of white and a glass of red. The bartenders were very knowledgeable. We paired our wines with the "cheese board" bread and butter, tuna tartare, noodles, shrimp crackers and finally the cheesecake.

We did not enjoy the food that much. The stand out was the bread and butter!

The cheese board came with one type of housemade soft cheese, jam (you can buy from Safeway) and sesame cashews. The cashews were the highlight. You can't call it a cheeseboard if it's one cheese on it, can you?

The tuna tartare was good, but the noodles were very average. We did not enjoy the cheesecake at all.

My recommendation: add more cheeses to your board (at minimum 3), add more protien to your menu as well. This could be Deviled eggs, prosciutto, steak medallions, and definitely add garlic fries.

Would go back in 6 months to see if the menu...

Popped by with a group of 3 on day 2 of opening - the place was buzzing and was great to see the newly remodeled interior after its previous tenant Wholesome Bakery closed. We were able to grab some seats after some hovering at the bar briefly. The window area is great for people watching.

We only had time to try the mapo noodles (could be more flavorful), white wine, and passion fruit wheat ale (delicious) before heading to dinner. Our server was unfortunately very snarky multiple times to us for some reason and didn’t know the menu but won’t hold it against a new opening. The other servers we encountered were warm even on such a busy night. Excited to try the rest of the menu and return soon, happy to have a new wine bar in the neighborhood that serves fun...

Decided to check out this new addition to Divisadero. It’s a wine bar that offers some nibbles. I thought it would be a restaurant that serves wine but the name should have clued me in. They have a wide range of wines to pick from at different price points which is always nice. The shrimp chips had added season which was a nice surprise. The ceviche had a Vietnamese twist which was great. Only wish that they had more chips to scoop it up. Suggest making a reservation otherwise you may have to sit at the bar. One of companions prefers beer and they had 2 choices: a wheat beer and another that was $20. He opted for sake instead. They also offer chambong (it’s beer bong but with champagne). Overall, it’s a good place if you like wine but be prepared to...
