    Like everything prices have gone up, but we were sad to see the take home pasta deal is gone. $30 for pasta and I can't take one home for a steal?? Hopefully they bring it back. Service was excellent as always.

    We very much enjoyed our dining experience at Restaurant Gish and the special holiday menu from beginning to end! Each dish was creative, delicious, and well presented. We sat at the counter and really enjoyed watching the chefs create and plate each dish, and describe them to us. Some dishes such as the consommé and salad ssam were delicate with wonderful finesse. The scallop curdo was inventive and well put together, so yummy. The beef tartare with truffle and Asian touches was outstanding and a unique combination. The larger or heavier dishes such as the entrees (lamb, lobster tail) were substantive and satisfying. The meal ended on a beautiful note with the pear sorbet with added house made pine honey crunch. Service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant felt lively yet cozy and welcoming. We recommend!
