We ordered carry out on a rainy night. We didn’t have a menu but the server who answered the phone helped us select a delicious octopus salad with a creamy dressing, a delicious steak (that we cut into three portions at home) with a side of fingerling potatoes and came with a mushroom sauce and a reduced balsamic glaze (it may have been a wine glaze) and a side of panini bread with olive oil. It was a delicious fancy French bistro style dinner and well worth it. Highly recommend this charming spot for fine dining.
You have to try this restaurant! This place is incredible. Great atmosphere and even better food. We ordered 2 specials that aren't on the regular menu, Octopus Tentacle and Beef Wellington. It was the best octopus I've ever tasted. Everything on the plate was delicious and complemented the octopus perfectly. The Beef Wellington was cooked and seasoned beautifully. It was one of the pricier entree's and was worth every penny. The item we ordered from the regular menu was the Fettuccine Alla Nona which is handmade pasta and it was incredible. We're from out of town and wish we could come back already!
Finally open again! So glad Gertie and The Giant Octopus is open again and taking reservations! Please support this family business; it's our favorite date night restaurant. Very fancy and good price
This tiny treasure is an excellent place to enjoy a meal with someone special. It's good, so it can be hard to get a seat sometimes--that's the price you pay for way above average food and wine. The choices are fun, too. I like trying something new every time we treat ourselves to a meal there and I've always walked away satisfied.
I have been to Gertie's a number of times now and have never failed to be impressed. The food prepared here by Rob is some of the best I have had and will long remember these meals. The wine alone is worth the visit but paired with the food it is an experience not just a meal. If I had to recommend any meal it would be all of it. Treat yourself and stop in for a glass and you will never be disappointed.
Great European feel. Lovely rich and delicious foods all the while paying tribute to the PNW Octopus under the Narrows Bridge!!!
Only great things to say here. The staff are always friendly and professional. The food is out of this world. The atmosphere has a real European feel to it. It’s eclectic and has a warmth that makes to you to sit forever. The very versatile menu has something for everyone.
Go and enjoy this restaurant that has big city flair in beautiful Gig Harbor.
