    We enjoyed high tea to celebrate daughter’s birthday. Requested a window seat and enjoyed the ambiance and view. Shuba was very friendly and attentive throughout the afternoon. They even provided a birthday dessert with candle. Having a 4 pm reservation was perfect. We never felt rushed. Would recommend BG’s to anyone who’s in the area.

    Jst a fantastic evening. We had not been in so long. You easily fall into trap of thinking such places are indeed tourist traps. But this is the real deal: lovely decor, excellent food (and sizable portions), and attentive staff. And post dinner some wonderful jazz in the bar area. Cannot think of a better way to spend an anniversary in our own city!

    We ordered multiple small plates and enjoyed them all. The chicken liver melts in your mouth like butter and the grape jelly is oddly epic. The tuna tartare was fresh and light. Other dishes we enjoyed included the calamari, Brussels, and crab toast). Service and ambience were excellent as well. Can’t wait to return again soon.
