"For a food lover, tragedies take on their own unique form. We experienced a small tragedy at Gigi’s - we were only there for lunch and we still had many hours to drive. That shouldn’t have mattered but, one glance at the menu and wine list and we knew that we should have been settling in. We either should have been here for dinner or, at the very least, be staying within walking distance so that a long lunch was possible..."
