Against Pastis, Le Gigot is the more intimate pick. Pastis is better when the goal is brasserie energy, a larger downtown scene, a meal that can carry a group. Le Gigot is better for a quieter French dinner where the spend stays in the same $$$ tier but the occasion feels more personal.
If the choice is between Le Gigot and the $$$$ French set, the decision is mainly about formality and budget. L'Abeille, L'abeille à Côté, Le Coucou, and Le Jardinier New York are stronger fits when the meal needs a bigger luxury signal, a more polished room, or a higher-stakes celebration. Le Gigot makes more sense when the brief is French, West Village, occasion-worthy without committing to a $$$$ night.
For value, Le Gigot and Pastis are the closest comparison because both sit at $$$. Choose Pastis for scene and easier group energy; choose Le Gigot for a smaller celebration. If the reservation is meant to impress someone who expects a more formal French experience, cross-shop the $$$$ options first.
