    G&G never disappoints. We've had dinner here several times now for special occasions. Hands down our favorite place to go for an amazing meal. The filet flight is an amazing way to experience the differences in the meats. Service is always wonderful. It's not a cheap place but nothing is cheap anymore and at least at G&G everything is top notch across the board.

    We come here alot and seem to be treated differently every time from the hostess with the short blonde hair to the waiter Steven not believing that I use my digital gift cards from the restaurant! Insane! I would really like to know why??! I booked my reservation 2 weeks ago and to tell me there are existing reservations like mine isn't just as important is uncalled for and like its an issue! I'm spending money just like everyone else! Steven didn't believe that I had digital cards, I wrote the numbers down on my check like I always do and he asked to take a picture of my phone instead like really! The treatment tonight was unacceptable seriously! It will be a while until I come back to this place again. Bet disappointing experience!

    Guard & Grace knows how to do it right! The tables are far enough apart that you're not bumping into other patrons and you can hold a conversation. The service couldn't be better with professionalism and friendliness. The food is delicious. Only criticism is the music is a bit loud.

    Let’s get this straight, the food was great, but our waiter was a bit slow. I’m all for enjoying my experience. As a matter of fact, I really appreciate when we are not rushed through a meal. However, a couple on the other side of us who sat down at least 15mins after us was taken care of by a different waiter and he seemed much more efficient. They ordered drinks, apps, mains and dessert just like we did and were done before us. Will chalk the slow service up to the possibility that the waiter was overwhelmed with it being a busy night, however he didn’t really move with purpose so not sure. He was knowledgeable and professional, just didn’t think it should take us over 2hrs for dinner. Main dining area was very loud. The two top tables are set up long ways so we felt like we had to talk really loud to hear each other which is not great considering two more two tops were on either side of us and very close. We kept wishing we had sat in the other room through the glass doors where it might’ve been a bit quieter and more enjoyable.
