not only met, but they were unbelievably, unquestionably exceeded. Honestly, I would normally hesitate to go so over the top in a review for fear of setting another's expectations too high, but after last night that is just not possible. Everything, and I truly mean everything, was beyond top notch. The service from literally the first step in the door, to the decor, to our server (Amy, you were amazing!) and all of the other servers (a true team effort), to the food...OMG, the food. I'm almost at a loss for words to describe the food. The words subtle, complex and creative are so often overused, and in the world of food, have become so trite. At the G&tG, however, they almost don't do the food justice. I know, you're asking yourself how it can be THAT good. Honestly, it just is. The flavors are so layered and so subtle and then BOOM (or sometimes it's a little boom), another flavor hits your palette. The mix of ingredients is so spot on, I literally marvel at how perfectly they
were compiled. In writing this review, I'm transported back to last night and I keep remembering 'this' and then 'that' and then 'this'...it was so good that I'm literally having trouble not taking off on a million tangents all at once. I'll try! Ok. The menu is broken down into three parts: Veg, Seafood and Meat. There are 10 'small plates' on each list, so this is definitely a place I could go with my vegetarian friends. On the other hand, they offer dishes as varied as crispy pig face and escargot to pan roasted chicken and NY strip, so really, I think anyone can eat here and eat here well. Every dish (yes, every single one that we tried) has such an interesting mix of ingredients and is so meticulously thought out that nothing is "just average" or "just ok". From what we were told, the menu is going to change all of the time, so I'm not going to go into each dish in explicit detail. Suffice it to say that everything was truly superb. Another really nice thing is that this is t
he kind of place you could come to for a celebratory dinner and linger with a large (or small) group for hours; you could come with a friend or on a date for a few small plates and a glass of wine and call it a night; my husband even mentioned that he'd love to stop in for a beer at the bar and a plate of something like the escargot. It really is that flexible. Have I gushed enough? I think perhaps I should cut it here Thank you, Ms. Izard, for staying in Chicago. We loved Scylla when it was around, we cheered for you through the
