After reading the mostly negative reviews, I was very apprehensive about dining in this venerable old Chicago institution. I must say I was pleasantly surprised by our entire experience. We had 6:30 reservations (on a Saturday) and were seated immediately upon arrival (we were minutes late). Our waiter was neither surly or indifferent, but very professional (and apparently, in his late 60s), and quite attentive. We started with the fried calamari and fried ravioli, both of which were delightful. All had steaks, one of which was medium rare instead of medium, but all good, juicy quality cuts of meat cooked well. Overall, a great dining experience. Perhaps coming early with reservations is the way to go, but G & G is a throwback to the old clubby steakhouses.
Pros: Great service, Excellent food, Ambiance
Cons: Ambiance, Crowded, Bar area small
