GG’s Waterfront Bar & Grill

Beautiful place, excellent attention, the food was very good. Definitive I’ll come back again. This place is ideal for receptions and birthdays.

I will definitely be going back. It’s a little pricey for people on a budget but if you’re splurging or have no money concerns, then go for it. Super clean and the wait staff are VERY NICE and personable. Even the manager. If you can, I would ask for Tiffany. She’s awesome. Also the mango mojito was amazing! And this is from someone who rarely drinks. I got the yellowtail snapper and the asparagus and it was cooked superbly. I would definitely ask about the specials. There brunch is only available on SUNDAYS. $ 40 bucks per plate. It’s a buffet style but I prefer Saturday’s. Chill area. Valet is $ 4.00. The scenery is amazing, the boats and the races. Everyone was nice and although on the ocean you couldn’t smell anything too «salty». Also, when we were there a boat race was going on. Lovely place. Will return!

The ambiance here is really nice especially the deck seating on the waterfront. Valet at the time was $ 4, a great price considering. The calamari and oysters Rockefeller were great appetizers and the bread just hmmm hmm good. Sort of got close to full off of it. My friend had the orange ginger mojito and loved it. I ordered the snapper dish and I was not happy with it. Disappointing considering how good the appetizers were and the long wait. Oh yea it seemed to take forever to get the main course. Not sure why as I don’t think they were extremely busy. My friend had the scallop and shrimp dish and was nice enough to share with me. It was good. Maybe this is great place to grab drinks and appetizer and enjoy the atmosphere.

From the time we called to inquire about their brunch to the moment we paid the bill, GG’s was awesome.
Their brunch was excellent. Prime rib (a bit over cooked and dry-​my ONLY complaint), turkey, lamb, salmon carving station was great. The salmon was AWESOME. Traditional breakfast foods too. The eggs Benedict was perfect.
Peel and eat shrimp, ceviche, salads, and a lot more. The views of the water were excellent.
It was crowded and a bit hectic. The food stations are scattered and you are constantly bumping into people.
It was pricey ($ 45), but worth it. Sometimes you have to splurge. And this is the place to do it.

Great ambiance and service. We had raw oysters and tuna poke for appetizer and both tasted amazing and fresh! For the main course I got the Cioppino which was loaded with all types of seafood (half a Lobster only with Dinner portion) and a delicious broth. My Wife had the Fish Tacos with sweet potato fries and she loved it. We had a GREAT experience

I came here for a rehearsal dinner a week or so ago and had a great evening. The food and service were great and the venue (back room) along the water was gorgeous. Perfect venue for any sort of event!

This place never disappoints me. Food is so good, place is extra clean and classy. Servers are truly professional and warm.

1. Wonderful atmosphere
2. Food was great.
3 service was great.
4. Service was quick

An outdoor, waterside dining encounter that must be experienced! While the ocean-​facing side of Hollywood is nice, it can be very windy… but not here! Super calm and super chill! Went mid-​week during a business trip/​conference and was able to sit on the deck over the water. May sure you do to! Nice wine list! Food was super fresh and presented as you would expect for a fine dining restaurant. There are a few good restaurants in this area and this is a must-​go spot.

Finding ourselves looking for last minute reservations on Mother’s Day I found GGs through the Unilocal app. I had driven by it for years, just never had an inkling to go. We were lucky enough to get a reservation for that evening without an issue.
The restaurant parking is all valet due to limited parking in the area, but it is well run and only cost us 4 dollars and we were seated right away.
The menu was not complicated with upscale steak and seafood offerings and our server was more than willing to help guide us in ordering asking what we were interested in.
We began with the oysters rockefeller, crabcake and shrimp cocktail. All of which were amazing, but as simple as it was, the shrimp was our favorite. At 5 dollar a pop they did not disappoint and were probably one of the best I have had.
For dinner we ordered a Maine lobster, king crab leg, surf and turf ribeye and lobster tail and the ahi tuna. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food thoroughly and were impressed by the fresh quality of the seafood overall.

The waitress was attentive throughout our meal despite the busy day always making sure our drinks were full and that we were satisfied.

The meal ended up costing around 315 dollars which included four alcoholic drinks and a glass of wine. I found the prices worthy of the quality of service and food we received. You also can’t beat being right on the water watching the sunset!
A good time was had by all and we were very satisfied with our experience.

This place was right on the water! And when I say right on the water I mean it. It felt like you were on a boat almost. The service was as everyone says– great. They were very polite and quick. I appreciated it.
I ordered an artichoke for my appetizer which didn’t make it out before my main meal. The waiter was very apologetic and actually bought my dessert. It was lovely! I got the bread pudding and it was to die for! I would get it ten times over. For dinner I got the pasta dish and it was a perfect dinner portion. Not too big or small.
The wait was kind of long– I would recommend reservations. We even came on a Monday! Ask for an outside table! I would definitely come back though.

Sunday Family Lunch by random selection. Everyone was happy with their food but my brothers said the Angus burgers were by far the best they’ve had in a while.
I personally wasn’t wowed by my selection but I like to give credit where credit is due.

Five stars all the way!!! If you are looking for the BEST brunch in south Florida, then you need to eat at GGs. I just finished having my second breakfast buffet brunch here and both times left me feeling satisfied, happy and impressed.
They have valet for your car and it’s only $ 4. If you’re eating there on a beautiful day, I highly recommend sitting outside. We called ahead to reserve a table for 2, but were told that they don’t take reservations on the same day. They said there was no wait, so we made our way over. When we arrived, we were told a bunch of people had just arrived and there would be a 40 minute wait. We opted to sit at the bar outside, facing the water. This was the right choice! Brandon was an amazing bartender and server. He offered us a Bloody Mary or mimosa as soon as we sat down.
We headed inside to jump on (what we thought was) the omelet line. Turns out we were on a make-​your-​own-​risotto line!!! Being that I LOVE risotto, this made me extremely happy. They had tons of fresh and delicious options to choose from. My risotto had muscles, shrimp, scallops, asparagus, mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach and arugula. The guy preparing it said it would be the best. He was right!
Keep in mind I’m writing a review of a buffet (don’t judge the amount of food listed…)
Next we moved onto the omelet station. They had all the things you would want, including feta cheese (you just have to ask him to grab it from the back). Next came the traditional breakfast choices. They had bacon (which was covered in some amazing maple delicious glaze), sausage, potatoe, etc. I don’t eat gluten, so I didn’t try the eggs Benedict, but my friend said she loved it! We then moved onto the salad portion. They have ALL sorts of different vegetable salads, cheese platters and a lox station to choose from. They offer homemade hummus and (real, not canned) tuna salad and a cumin cubed chicken salad. Yum.
Our last plates consisted of hot/​prepared foods. We had the most delicious and tender prime rib, with four different sauces to choose from. The salmon was delicious AND it was wild raised! The Brussel sprouts were amazing and lastly their musk r’s had a fantastic flavor.
We were way too full to attempt desert, but the selections offered looked great!
There was not one single bad thing at our meal. I’ve tried many different brunch places in SoFla and GGs is, by far, THE BEST! Our neighbors we met at the bar were super fun and even invited us to leave from their on their boat with them. I will for sure be back, and I’m bringing more friends (only next time I’ll call ahead)!
I might try their dinner menu one day…
Happy eating :)

Had dinner here with a small group. We had an Oyster platter and ceviche. We also had grilled artichokes and the vegetable flat bread. It was all very good. For main course we all ordered seafood. The fish was very fresh and tasty. The view of the sunset was also very nice.

STAY AWAY!!!
I’ve worked in restaurants and I work for a company that prides themselves in customer service… for a place that charges $ 30 – 50 per customer I expected a lot more. I’ve received better service at a iHop.
1^st the parking… it’s valet only which is fine, but to make you patrons wait 30minutes only to tell them «our lot is full, you can keep waiting or there’s public parking». strike 1
2^nd…I get it we are a big party, but the service was extra slow, the server I dont think even smiled once. We had to keep asking for water refills, and we never even got the table bread until we asked for it during our main course. My friends were having drinks and appetizers. If I am being charged a standard 18% gratuity at least make us feel like it was worth our while.
We ordered the shrimp and scallop risotto and ciopinno. While not the whole experience was bad, the food was good until my date found a rotton clam with a big blob of sand in it. We told the the runner right away, and they did absolutely nothing… no discount, no «let me get you another». Nothing. It was disgusting after that we didn’t even want to touch the dish. okay fine whatever, I don’t want to raise a fuss or anything. To top it off, I had one friend that had overcooked steak, and another member of our party had fish that was so dry it was like eating card board.
We were there to celebrate a birthday party/​farewell to our friend, this was just the worst dining experience I have ever endured. Oh just to add the cherry on top, when I asked for my bill because I needed to go, the less than eager to help us out server tells me he cannot split anymore than 4 checks for our party of 12. Pardon me? Wow, just because the restaurant charges a standard 18% gratuity to groups and maybe even unlucky tourists who eats that this poorly managed establishment, does not mean that you can be very unhelpful?
Reading through most of my other reviews rarely do I ever complain about a restaurant. However this place is far from meeting any standards of fine dining of any type. Poor service, poor parking, poor management, overly prices for mediocre food.
Do yourself a favor, take your money and drive a little further to Rustic Inn, casual and comfy place to eat, great, fun atmosphere decent prices and most importantly friendly service.
This place, never ever again.

I went to GiGi’s for happy hour. The atmosphere was great. We sat by the bar on the water. It was 80 something degrees and sunny. Joy was our server.
Service was good. I believe that Joy was our server. Food came out relatively quick. The stone crab was just ok (overcooked) but the Tuna Tacos’ were excellent as well as the shrimp.
Drinks were $ 6 (some of them) and food was cheap. $ 100 for two people for happy hour.
I Would go again.

Lovely atmosphere and nice patio. They start you with bread, butter and a very tasty chunky hummus. PEI mussels were excellent. Knife and Fork Veggie Sandwich was tasty and filling. Served open faced on foccia. Nice selection of craft beers. I recommend the Holy Mackerel golden ale. My wife had a refreshing Arnold Palmer. $ 45 without tip. Figure in $ 4 plus tip as well for valet parking.
Nice lunch in all and good service. Highly recommended.
Lots of fish, seafood and wine options. We’ll be back.

A direct answer to Unilocal’s question, «What keeps me coming back here?» is simple and one word: ATMOSPHERE. Of course without good menu choices, service and quality food, the atmosphere would not matter much, so here is the rundown on my experience at GG’s.
I never came here for dinner in their dining room and never sit inside, so this review is based on the great outdoor seating right on the inter coastal, and usually for the Happy Hour from 3:30 to 6:30 pm on Sunday. They do offer Happy Hour every day at the bar areas and selected outdoor bar tables. Drinks and glasses of wine run from $ 4.00-$ 7.00 and they have a special small tapas menu that is exclusive for this happy hour. Fresh Oysters, Angus Sliders, Stone Crab’s when they are in season and one of their famous tapas dishes, the Pow Pow Shrimp. Small shrimp, lightly fried with a tasty sweet sauce. The portion size is good for a tapas shrimp dish piled high served with chop sticks. The oysters are really fresh and get those every time, and if we are with a bigger table of people we usually get a couple and split them. Great dish to have at a happy hour price.
I will mention that the inside of GG’s is really beautiful especially with the inter coastal backdrop. Very open and cheery décor.
The outdoor bar as I mentioned is why I come here. It has a big U Shaped bar and separate seating around the outside of it. This outdoor area represents quite the view right on the inter coastal right along docking for boats to pull up for boaters to dine. Want ATMOSPHERE? Get here before sundown and as you are drinking your favorite wines, Champaign or cocktails with friends you can actually see the sun go down right into the water. Spectacular every time.
I hesitate to give this secret away but they have two wonderful entertainers that sing outside on a small stage at the end of the bar on Sunday night happy hours. A lot of classic songs that have been around that we all know. The girl who does most of the singing will make your evening complete as she sings just about everything and has a great soothing voice. The guitar player is also amazing. Imagine that. Outdoor beauty, sunsets, great cocktails and wine and tasty tapas treats all at great happy hour prices. Must mention that the happy hour menu is not large but everything from shrimp, oysters to sliders are delicious. Then the entertainment.
The crowd here is another observation and MUST be «observed». You get them «all» here. All ages, locals, tourists and they do have their regulars.
There is Valet Parking for $ 4.00 plus tip on the way out and is easily accessible from the car to the bar.
The servers are really on top of their game here. Very friendly and will keep your food and drinks coming.
If you want to take advantage of this Sunday early evening happy hour, suggest to get there by 4:00 latest. It starts to fill up at and around the bar as well as the surrounding tables.
If you need information regarding the regular dining room I suggest reading other reviews because that is not why I come here.
At GG’s, who says Sunday’s are work nights???

Twice now and yes I am a fan! Several of our good friends have been here and we saw their reviews so one evening we thought we would check it out. First time we went it was just my husband and I we sat at the inside bar area. The entire restaurant is very pretty. Beautiful wood tones, gorgeous views, with a modern chic décor. Both times we were here for Happy Hour. They offer a good happy hour with wine, cocktails and small bites.
They have a very interesting crowd of people who come here. Imagine the Boca crowd mixed with South Beach, yes quite fun to sit and watch. The bartenders here are very friendly and take good care of you. As far as food we have tried the oysters on both occasions and they are excellent. The shrimp pow pow is always a huge hit. I think that is the name. This is a must try.
I usually start with a nice Rose bubbly then switch to their house wine after about 4 – 5 glasses. It is such a comfortable setting being on the water in such a cozy, cool atmosphere. This is a great place to go hang out at the bar either inside or outside with friends. One night we did look at the dinner menu but decided to just order a few more apps and stay at the bar. The menu has fresh seafood dishes but it is not very large. For someone like me who is super picky with my seafood options, I didn’t find anything I really wanted to have.
We will be back again and again, love the happy hour, beautiful restaurant and a fun spot to people watch! Service is very good, prices are average, and the views are spectacular.
Cheers!

I came for a family holiday brunch here twice.
Both times we sat in a private room behind the wine wall. It was dark and was cut if from water views and lighting. I wish I sat in a booth, the décor here is really nice, modern-​nautical, and a huge bar.
There was a wait time even though there were reservations, they book the room back to back to back.
Brunch comes with a waiter who will get your drinks, take away your plates, fill up your waters. The service fantastic both times.
The brunch has choice of mimosa or champagne.
The foods looks great but it was salty, and overcooked for my taste. There are many stations to choose from like cooked fish, ribs, wild rice, cold seafood bar with salads, carving stations, cooked breakfast options like eggs Benedict, waffles, French toast, omelet chefs in the open view kitchen.
The made-​to-​order stations are the best food options.
The desserts I wanted were not replenished and gone by the time I had dessert. Everything looks better than it tastes, there are bars, cookies, tarts all in nice tiny portions, fresh fruit. Needs to be more real, rich, satisfying stuff, not mediocre.
You’re paying close to 50 $ per person at the end, it should be amazing.
The valet is a good touch, especially to try to find parking in this area.
I might be back if the family books another brunch.

Belle ambiance, très belle qualité de nourriture, service de valet a l’arrivé et magnifique vue ! Une seule petite chose, les employés semblaient un peu déborder et nous le laissait voir à la table.
Il était tôt dans la soirée et il né restait plus de pinces de crabes d’une certaine grosseurs, celle que nous aurions voulu malheureusement
Mais sinon nous avons passer une assez belle soirée !

Nous y sommes allés à la recommandation de notre hôtel. L’endroit est un peu trop chic à mon goût, avec un service de voiturier pour garer la voiture et le personnel qui est un peu guindé. Le lieu est toutefois des plus agréable, situé juste au bord du canal. Assis à la terrasse chauffée, on y admire le coucher du soleil et les bateaux qui passent. J’y ai probablement mangé le meilleur steak de ma vie, accompagné d’un bon vin. Difficile de né pas recommander l’endroit.

Nous sommes allez pour le 5 à 7 du vendredi!!! Belle ambiance groupe de musique excellent et prix très abordable sur la boisson et entrée offerte!!! À conseiller à tous! Super soirée!!! Nous y sommes retourner 2 fois
