One of the best restaurants north of Boston, but also including Boston. 15 minutes from Logan Airport, easy ride along the north shore coast line. Owner and chef Greg Brackman's mix of fresh fish, beef, chicken and pasta covers all variations of tastes. The dinners are incredible. The appetizers are incredible and the drinks are incredible. The seared sesame tuna with bok choi is second to none in this area. If you have never been to G, then book it today, you will love it and become a regular customer.

Not my first time coming here. I come back because the food is delicious, the atmosphere calm, comfortable and the waitstaff are pleasant and knowledgeable about all the dishes they serve. Was also surprised to see the owner and chef mingle with the guests, treating them like they were guests at his home, my reason for coming back. Shout out to our waitress Adrianna and Gregg, owner and chef. 👍👍

Steak was perfectly cooked. Disappointed in accompanying Brussels sprouts which were dry and pretty much tasteless. Chicken Milanese was excellent. The duck was also excellent and loved the accompanying noodles & vegs. Meatball app was very good in a mild marinara. Overall, a wonderful meal.
