Swanky French Bar. Swanky French bar which is super fab. Very upscale and nice. Drinks are very stiff, food was just so-so but the drinks make up for it. The outside patio area is super nice on hot summer nights. Everyone is either out on the patio or walking by, which makes this a hot place to be.

We were there on a night they had a band playing, and my only complaint was that is was wayyyyy too loud

Service is super slow and they don't have waitresses that come out to the patio, so you have to go inside to order.

Great late-night happy hour which starts at 11pm and is every night including weekends!!!…

Citysearch Editorial Review. With the menu of a Paris street-corner bistro and a beer list full of Belgian brews, Gainsbourg brings a little bit of the Europe to the Greenwood area. The exposed brick walls are trimmed with heavy curtains, loaning a luxurious feel to the long, narrow room. Patrons have the choice of the bar, a few sparsely placed tables and the high-backed booths, which give an intimate illusion of privacy. Black and white movies play on the television screens, but the real treats lie in the tiny but open kitchen that runs parallel to the bar. The menu of small plates is a best-of list of Parisian classics, from perfectly presented, garlic-saturated escargot to steak frites. A visit to Gainsbourg is only properly rounded out with a sampling from the extensive Belgian beer lists and a quick dive into the various absinthes offered.…

Drop the attitude. You're in Greenwood NOT France.. I have tried really hard to like this place. The steak is awesome when prepared properly and the menu is outstanding. The atmosphere is funky and cool. I have taken people here several times and referred lots of others but at this point I'm done being embarrassed by my recommendation. The servers apparently think they ARE in France serving stupid Americans. They are lazy, indifferent and incompetent with one or two exceptions. Newsflash, you live in Seattle and your just another server. Get over yourselves. We ordered the steak again last night and weren't asked for preparation instructions, when it finally came out (a long wait indeed with our empty drinks) they were beyond well done, perhaps burned to a crisp would be more accurate. Paying out took forever because our server was busy flirting and snacking. We took the cards inside after a long wait and still she took another 20 minutes. We had 5 people with us that were new customers and they, as well as we, are customers no more. This scenario has played out more often than not and we have been fools for hoping it would get better. The place sure is pretty though.…
