Gina's on Congress 314 Congress Avenue, Austin, TX 78701

"We tried rabbit for the first time and it was paired so perfectly with crisps and jelly (I’m totally downplaying it, I forgot the names. it was good to our surprise ! The lamb was done very well and I loved the “grits” with it, so good. Bartender was charming and said he loves his job. It shows. :) He got us an extra jumbo shrimp to even up the number on the plate haha . Dessert I failed to take a photo of before we went for it . It was surprisingly filling and I don’t usually like chocolate mouse type desserts but this was good and had some whisky and oddly if you close your eyes you could say it maybe resembles a healthy, classy cookies and crème , it was interesting. Ambiance is really nice for quiet dinner with a friend , a date , or classy but relaxed little group outing. Food quality was very good. Not disappointed at all."

"Honestly, it is more of 2.75 stars but I will round up. A little on the side: it is ok, the alcohol taste was too strong Favorite godmother: it is good We also got dirty martini and old fashioned and they were better than the cocktails on the menu Gougeres: it is an attempt at popovers. They were fresh but needed more flavor or salt. Rabbit rillettes: not good at all. The pate wasn’t spreadable Steak tartare: very good, very flavorful Bone marrow: it was the meatiest bone marrow I ever had, but it could’ve used more flavor. Braised lamb shank: excellent!! It literally fall of the bone, you don’t need the knife Dark chocolate pot de creme: very rich but very good The price point isn’t worth the value. The old fashioned was $24. We had 3 items on HH and the bill was over $200 with tip, not worth it."

"We’ve been looking for a nice little French restaurant and this is it. It’s not the same as the beloved Chez Nous that closed during the pandemic but we are quite happy to have Gina’s. The decor and ambiance were great. The food was fantastic. We ordered the golden beet salad, mussels, cod, and rigatoni. All were superb. Only the cannoli for dessert was disappointing so we will skip dessert next time."

"Drinks were good and half off during happy hour. I had The Diplomat which was a little on the sweet side and the Sharp Dressed Manhattan. Enjoyed the giardiniera but not a fan of the gougeres. I think if it was toasted before it was plated the flavors would have been brought out and the texture might have been better. I enjoyed the pasta and loved the caramelization and different textures of the mushrooms. The lamb shank fell of the bone was also paired well with the soft polenta and currant."

"I came here for my birthday dinner and i beg for everyone to please come here. Everyone here is so lovely and accommodating and the food is just the icing on the cake. It is DELICIOUS!!! From drinks to dessert, I’m leaving this restaurant feeling like I was treated like an A-lister. Ethan and Ozan (apologies if I misspell) were incredible and made sure that we had an incredible experience, even playing jazz music for us. EVERYONE NEEDS TO COME HERE! Because I will be coming back :) 100/10"
