Very unassuming. Service was excellent. They went as far as recommending the order in which to each our dishes so that our pallets would be the least influenced as we moved through our meal. Not something I would’ve have thought of, but makes sense when considering oils coat your mouth.

Really enjoyed our first visit to Vero Bistro. The food was excellent, and our server was courteous and professional. Really appreciated the restaurant recommendations for our upcoming visit to Italy. Would have preferred to get our main courses a little quicker, but it was a busy night, so it wasn't a major issue. Looking forward to trying some of the other items on the menu on our next visit.

It was our first time at Bar Gigi - we went there for Valentine’s Day and absolutely loved it! The service was great and the food and drinks were incredible. We tried the wine on the feature menu for V-day, a couple of cocktails, 4 share style dishes and grabbed both their desserts. Nothing was disappointing and we will definitely be back.
