What Uriah Braun dislikes about Bistro Gitan:
dinner with friends in the bistro gitan. that's the first time we've been at gitan for a few years. although the service was good, my critique is aimed at the pitiful quality of the main course that I had chosen was a lamb. rump this was cut into thin pieces, with each piece with a large section of fat, typical of lamb fat from the night before the roasting one has to be home. it even reminded me that the cut cold fa...

I spent 8 minutes pacing back and forth around the restaurant because I didn’t know where the entrance was, so that was great. Anyways, order the piccata of chicken livers. I am convinced the only reason this restaurant is still open, is because of the piccata of chicken livers. It’s the best dish and the only reason I would ever come back. Did I mention how great the chicken livers were? Servers are very attentive, I left to go to the bathroom and they refolded my napkin lolololol. P.S get the piccata of chicken livers.
