stout was definitely lost from all the other stronger flavors and added to this odd lukewarm temperature in the dish. The flavors that stood out came from the cake, gelato, and marshmallow fluff. That said, we still finished it but I think it needed a bit more contrast or varied flavors given the amount of components. All in all, this was an amazing meal and definitely a spot I would come again when I come back to Chicago. And of course, it's always great to know that a Top Chef winner I like is doing well. I think this restaurant is good but it's mostly hype. It's almost impossible to get a reservation unless you go at 8-10pm for dinner and who wants to do that? All things aside the food is good, BUT after being at other places in the city first I realized it's more average. I actually got pretty sick from the steak tartar I had. That shouldn't happen. Things that I really liked were the baby octopus salad and the roasted shishito peppers. We had some sort of onion bread whi
ch had a faint shrimp flavor (totally odd), prolly not worth what is cost. The tartar had my stomach a turning but the absolute worst dish I had was the goat belly with bourbon butter lobster and crab. Not a single one of those flavors worked well with each other, my friend wouldn't even eat it. All in all I would not go back, and I would have murdered someone had I waited months for a reservation. G&G is just one of those things you do to say yeah I been there. Kinda like the G.E.B. place is supposed to be turning out... Overall: Excellent small plate, unpretentious gastropub, but not the best in Chicago. $6-$16 per plate, expect 2-3 plates per person for a full meal. Top Chef Stephanie Izard's new pride-and-joy after closing Scylla. 1) Decor and ambiance are a definite plus. The restaurant was created out of an abandoned warehouse, so there are high ceilings, lots of dark wood furniture, and a very spacious bar. The kitchen is purposefully not hidden away, and you're so
close you can interact with the cooks as they prepare your food. As others have mentioned, the waitstaff are unpretentious, friendly, and very passionate about the dishes. The minute you walk in, you feel comfortable and at ease, with the noise level just enough for activity
