Had The Marathon. Every plate was visually pleasing, every bite thoughtfully crafted. It was a really great meal. I was told it’s a lot of food, so we didn’t eat all day. I left absolutely STUFFED. The variety was impressive. I think we had around 12 plates of different food, ranging in size from small bites to full plates. I suggest the Bad Witch as a drink! I had 2 and my boyfriend ended up ordering 2 after having a sip of mine. Every server that helped us was funny, easy to talk to, and knowledgeable on the food we were eating. For a special celebration, this was exactly what we were looking for. Worth every penny. My only complaint, and it’s small, is they brought the first 4 courses out very quickly one after another. The remaining courses were spread out more. Our total meal time was about 2 hrs.
Easily one of the best (if not the best) dining experiences I've had. My wife and I ordered the marathon, which was a eclectic collection of unique and interesting flavors start to finish. A carrot salad with honeycomb and a blue-cheese/cheddar hybrid stuck out to me, along with a creamy cod fritter as one of the opening bites. Our server, who happened to also be the sommelier, was extremely knowledgeable on the menu from top to bottom. Cocktails were delicious, wine selection was varietous, and all staff was courteous and attentive. I ended the meal with an amaro flight, which the bartender helped to select. Honestly could not have asked for a better outing. Would give 6 stars if I could!
Wife and I came in for the full Marathon tasting menu, as part of a short weekend getaway. The food was delicious, and most everthing you would expect from an expertly crafted tasting menu. The drinks were delicious, we ordered the Cola Old Fashion and The Crosby. Both fantastic. Each dish was portioned well, with a wide variety of flavors and cuisines, ranging from Asian, to French, seafood to artisan bread, and everything in between. Very pleased with the strategy order eash dish and course was served, that ultimately did a great job exploring and connecting all major taste palettes. In a very close decision, our favorite dish was the roasted duck with peppers and corn. Only minor feedback is that we noticed halved cherry tomatoes were used in two seperate dishes with no clear progression or transformation (that we could perceive). Service, albeit very friendly and professional, was wanting... There were instances where some of our requests were repeatedly forgotten. We had ordered a second Cola Old Fashion, and it took more than a few occurrences of "So sorry, we'll get that going right away" before finally receiving it. I had also requested ice for my glass of water, and that also took several attempts before finally receiving it. Perhaps the biggest feedback was the lack of knowledge and confidence. It was a recurring theme that many of the staff who were bringing out our plates were actually unaware of what was on the plate, or how it was cooked, etc. As the plate(s) was being set, the servers would often stumble across their words as they struggled to recall exactly what the dish was, what was in it, how it was cooked, or be able to answer some fairly easy questions about it. Regarding confidence, something we noticed was that some of the servers would kind of just set the plate down, recite the name of the dish, we would say thank you, and they just sort of smiled and shyly/awkwardly walked off. Nothing major, just something funny and quirky we noticed. Say "My Pleasure, enjoy." or something to give the interaction a sense of closure, and walk off with confidence. Our main server, though I can't recall her name, was extremely friendly and a gem. Lastly, the atmosphere... The atmosphere was definitely... interesting! G&R does well balancing an semi-upscale casual a la carte eatery, a bar area, while also executing sophisticated tasting menu. The decor was entertaining, as we were figuring out the fun paintings (nike van go-gh, pickle ball). My only small minor feedback was that our table, and consequently my seat, was just a touch too close to the shelf against the window with the lit candles on it. Overall, a wonderful and memorable experience, and one we would ultimately recommend for the price point. Our only regret is not adding the wine pairing!
We went and did the chefs marathon for my husbands birthday dinner. It was out of this world! I thought it was better than candle in the woods. They were able to make us mocktails with faux spirits that were creative and tasty. The staff was friendly and I love the atmosphere. The only thing I would say that should be noted just for future reference is I thought the dinner was going to take 2.25 hours and it took 3.25 hours. Honestly with how much food we ate we probably needed the extra hour to fit it all in because we were stuffed lol but we had to alter our after dinner plans due to the length of the meal but it was 100% worth it and you should run not walk to go devour the deliciousness. Their “gluten queen” as they called her made the best bread we’ve ever had and their pasta was 🔥 I already want to go back and I left 3 hours ago and I’m still full lol
We have been coming here for years. Always amazing service and we love the pasta and food. Not sure about the price for the side of bread for two slices, we didn't think it was worth it however we've done the chefs marathon 5 times and it's worth it. Fresh herbs, daily made pasta, and clear conscious decisions with food pairing. Worth every penny for the meals and marathons. Great date or anniversary place!
