We left full, happy and with a few bucks in our pocket -- for the caliber, it was surprisingly affordable. Between the three of us, with drinks included, it came out to about $48 each before tip. We also loved our server, Brennan, who gave can't-miss recommendations all night. So here's how much I loved G&G: I went back solo two nights later and ate in the lounge, where you don't need a reservation. More green beans, wiley point oysters, and got to try the pork shank, courtesy of patrons sitting next to me on a very bad date who didn't touch it. Score! The food is the star, but don't skimp on the drinks: The "Best of 3" is best in show! Stephanie has created a real winner in the West Randolph corridor. In every dish, you can taste how much she loves what she does, and that she knows she's good at it. The fact that I thought of my dear, departed Granny Lou and her mantra that a meal should be made with love let me know that my effusive praise for G&G was not off-base. Stephanie br
ought the love and that kick of 'what what" that makes a good meal great, and a great meal an "experience." Food: Sublime. It was absolutely incredible. Shared about 12 small plates among the 4 of us. I was a little stressed about ordering the food, because you have to order everything up front and they choose what order to bring out to you, so you can't order a few small plates and then add on more. If you're getting full, you can't stop the other dishes on order, or if you're still hungry, you can't order more. Fortunately, we had the perfect amount. Favorites: Squash Blossoms, Scallops Least Favorites: Quinoa Ravioli (didn't like texture), Green Beans (too salty for me) Ambience: Was a bit loud - a little more casual than I expected, but I didn't mind that. For a Tuesday night was still incredibly busy. We tried our luck by walking in without a reservation. At first we were told a 2.5 hour wait, so we put our names on the list, grabbed a cocktail next store, and came back about a
n hour later to check in. They were able to seat us then, but with the condition that we had to leave the table by a certain time for an upcoming reservation - we agreed, but because of our limit we were unable to order dessert. Our own loss for agreeing to the table, but at least we got in for dinner. I felt like the host staff was a bit pretentious, likely because they know that they work for an incredibly successful restaurant, and that because people were begging for tables, they could pretty much act however they wanted. They weren't rude by any means, but when we came in as a walk in, it was almost like an "Are you Serious?" response. Maybe it was crazy for us to try, but hey, we got in Ultimately, it was an incredible dining experience as far as the food is concerned, and I definitely recommend making it out here once to try it! We also had the Mole and Avocado bread, which was very tasty in its own right, but I won't order it next time b/c it threatened to fill us up and kee
p us from enjoying more goat. As a final testament to the quality of the food, we
