Le Gaïac

$$$-$$$$, French, Toiny

User Rating: **** 3.7

Fodor's Review:

If you are in the mood to dress up, this is the elegant, sophisticated restaurant at which to do it. Everything is taken very seriously here. Starched napery and impeccable service complement the blue bay view. Lunch includes chilled, spicy mango soup, salads, and grilled seafood. The dinner menu showcases really serious food: guinea hen, wood pigeon, free-range chicken baked in a clay shell, fresh tuna with Japanese seaweed in a eucalyptus sauce, baby sole stuffed with scallops and mushrooms served in a scallop mousse: are you salivating? Table-side crêpes suzette are de rigueur. There's a EUR 43 buffet brunch on Sunday.

Buyer Beware!

Posted by EP80 from New England on 5/1/08

Our group of six chose Le Gaiac to celebrate a 10th wedding anniversary. The atmosphere is elegant and the staff very accomodating. However, after the first bite of the entrees, we all agreed that the food was horrendous. I could not tell what I was eating and my first reaction was how to get rid of it. Needless to say that for $1200 we were extremely disappointed in the meal.

Amazing

Best meal on STB. The service was very good and the food was amazing. And, on top of that, the artistic presentation of the food was unbelieveable. I really didn't want to take that first bite of any course because the presentation was so beautiful.
