| - I just don't know where to begin...there's SO much wonderment to be found in every nook and cranny. Let's start at the bar. Duh.
Tiki drinks in an Asian fusion sorta kinda restaurant? Well, why not? Damned fine tiki drinks and OTHER drinks, too. My very first dabble into the G&G tiki selection was a lovely little, innocent tasting number called Jambie the Genie. Apparently inspired by Jambie in the TV screen at Pee Wee's Playhouse, what seemed mildly entertaining at first packed an evil punch of Metaxa, shochu, St. Germaine and Benedictine along with just enough guava to magically convince one there was barely any alcohol onboard. Wrong. Woo!
Over the course of several visits (I keep going back!), I've sampled most of the written cocktail menu. (Sharing with non-germophobic friends is a great way to get to try everything without overindulging...just sayin'.) I can honestly say you can't go wrong...especially when Greta is behind the bar. Awesome barkeep! And for sure she's not the only skills behind the bar. I haven't yet tried the drinks made for a group. The Scorpion Bowl and the Porron are cocktails made to be shared when you're getting your party on with friends. (So WHY haven't we tried either of these yet?)
Back to my habit of sampling. The Dim Sum trays that circulate the room with little dishes of delightfulness-es are another thing that bring me back again and again. Especially the Pork Belly Bites...please Mr. G&G, don't ever take these off your menu! For $5 a plate/dish you can choose as many or as few dim sum items as you wish to accompany your cocktail or as a pre(or post)-appetizer. In addition to the required pork belly, try steak or squid or scallop or chips. Chips? Not your usual chips, these are crisp-fried chicken skin pieces with a chicken liver mousse dip. Mmmmmm....
And then there are the main dishes. I wish I could give you more detail here, but I keep going back to the braised short rib,broccolini, cippolini onion, mushroom and rice noodle bowl that I can't get enough of! Bonus is that it's gluten-free - YES - G&G has GF options! Just ask. Fortunately I've also sampled a number of other dishes (thank you, friends) and haven't found anything that wasn't spot on scrumptiousness.
Desserts? No clue. Good drinks, dim sum and an entree have always been enough for me...but they sound as fab as the rest of the menu. Then again, that gluten issue precludes many dessert choices anyway.
Any downside? It's hard to get into. I go early...and obviously often.
