e goat cheese and corn bread. It was very very good. The bread is not dense, but not airy either. The goat cheese and corn spread was so complimentary to the bread. We had woodfire-grilled oysters which was a nice change of pace from raw oysters, but it still held a lot of the raw oyster essence. For veggies we had the shishido peppers and cauliflower dishes. Both were very savory and satisfying, but the cauliflower was to die for. I normally don't like cauliflower that much, but I kept eating it. It was the best cauliflower I've ever had. We also had the beef tongue dish that was very good. We had the sugo with veal and gooseberries. This dish was so delicious. Finally, we had the softshell crab. This was the lowpoint of our meal. The dish was way too salty. We also had 2 drinks each on top of all our food, so we left extremely full, but extremely satiated! I wish we saved some room for dessert! A group of girlfriends went this summer to celebrate a special birthd
ay. We could not get a reservation but had heard such rave reviews, we decided to roll the dice and put our names in for the first available seat. We were told it would be about 1 1/2 hours so we ventured down the street for a couple glasses of wine. When we returned 1 1/2 hours later we were told it would be another 20 mintues. An additional 2 1/2 hours and a bottle of wine and fresh oysters later, we were finally sat. I was ready to eat my hand and kept threatening my friends that THIS BETTER BE WORTH IT!!!! It was SOOOOO worth the wait! The host was very apologetic for our extended wait and treated us to a round of oysters. We were given one of the very best tables in the house right next to the kitchen. Our waiter was funny, prompt and even brought Stephanie Izard to our table to introduce her. She did the "Goat Dance" for us and we were ammused! What a talented chef--maybe not so much with the dance, but her dishes were OUTSTANDING! I really didn't think I could be E
XCITED about green beans with fish sauce and I raised an eyebrow when our waiter said that was one of the house favorites. G&G's green beens are the Rolls Royce of beans. The softshell crab was to die for. By far, one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I've had in awhile. GATG was a must on my most recent trip to Chi-town, but I didn't make reservations. My friend assured me if we went when they open (4:30pm), we should be fine. Turns out she was right; our party of four was seated almost immediately. First of
