Ambience is very interesting because it seems from the 1980's music video days for few tracks I heard (not exactly bad especially now MTV no longer does music videos-?) but majority of music I heard was decent anyway. Suggestion for crew on the salad bar inform people "plates are cold, be aware" & just so people know.

In case I forgot to mention, or you didn't know, the soup and salad bar is included in the price of the meal. Overall, I would say this was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone.

After a day at Ausable Chasm we were starving. Gigi's was the closest place so we swung by. Yikes. The food was mostly inedible, honestly. We had buffalo and grilled chicken wraps. The chicken was a a peculiar texture and appearance -- not the kind of chicken you feel good about eating after a bite or two. French onion soup was pretty gnarly (I take some responsibility for ordering this -- probably not the right place). Fries and everything else were just kinda not so great. Grilled cheese was the highlight. Which tells the story of this place -- if you do try it -- order something they can't mess up. FWIW -- the ladies running this place were lovely! The food honestly was just tough!
