fine, but the duck confis was not necessary. Did not add to the dish; actually detracted from it and we did not enjoy it. This one was a bit of a miss, even for self-professed duck fans. Perhaps they listened to our suggestion; I see that now they serve them on foie gras confis! Shortribs-I thought they were delicious, although I notice that they are not currently on their menu. Cheesecake- precious, little goat cheese, triangular, cheesecake, and one of the best that I've ever tasted. Beautifully presented. Another chocolate dessert was almost as good, although I can't even remember what it was! *Note* - Sadly, although we told the resto why were here when we booked our reservation, although everyone was friendly, etc, they didn't even offer a bday drink, tiny taste of celebration, nothing. I was a bit disappointed since in such a beautiful city with the friendliest people ever, I was not made to feel special at all on a pretty big day. For that reason, there are a few other restaur

Too bad for us, but then again, it gave us a chance to try even better restos in the area, too. Contrary to popular belief, it is easy to get reservations, you just have to dine really early (5ish) or late (9ish or later). I had made reservations and when we arrived, the hostess tried to seat us at the two top overlooking the kitchen (their supposed best table in the house), but I said no thanks, I don't want to inhale a kitchen grease fire, please give us a normal table away from the kitchen. Our server was an odd combination of overly excited and disinterested, but I think he was just cranky from having to explain the menu a hundred times. The food here is original, creative, full of flavor, and exciting. For that reason alone, I'm bumping it up to 5 stars. I encourage any chef that shies away from blandness and dares to satisfy my taste buds. G & G is loud, but rustic, cozy,
and romantic. The mood was right, the wine was good, the food was amazing, and my man was looking dreamy across the table--I was one happy girl. The Girl and the Goat. Hmm . . . funny name but there is nothing funny about this place! In all seriousness- it is named after a painting that the owner has of- you guessed it- a girl and a goat. Look around- the painting is
