table to introduce her. She did the "Goat Dance" for us and we were ammused! What a talented chef--maybe not so much with the dance, but her dishes were OUTSTANDING! I really didn't think I could be EXCITED about green beans with fish sauce and I raised an eyebrow when our waiter said that was one of the house favorites. G&G's green beens are the Rolls Royce of beans. The softshell crab was to die for. By far, one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I've had in awhile.

Other dishes we ordered were: Grilled Octopus w/ pistachios, Pig's Face, Pork Shank, Goat Belly, Goat Mousse, and chocolate-chili gelato for dessert. The pork shank was my favorite - the kimchee sauce on the side was simply delightful! They have some pretty amazing food. It's hard to still be impressed when you walk in with pretty high expectations. But there dishes were p
retty amazing...We were there with a group, so had a fixed menu of most of their small plates. Flavors were really fantastic - their veggies were most impressive: simple looking with very creative and distinctive flavors. Their meat dishes are heavily weighed towards lamb, although per the lamb eaters around the table, it wasn't as gamey as most. For folks who are hard core veg, may want to check with the
