    The drag brunch was so much fun. The performers were great and got everyone involved. It was a high energy show. For those introverts out there, don’t worry, they won’t pull you on stage as there are always plenty of volunteers. No matter your age or where you are sitting, it’s extremely loud, so bring ear plugs - it was louder than any concert I’ve ever been to.

    Our dinner at G&G met and exceeded all expectations. I'd read the reviews and it truly lived up to the hype. The staff was wonderful, knowledgeable, engaging, and worked incredibly well together. The food and drinks were the best we've had. My guy is a huge steak fan through and through, but don't sleep on the cod. We shared the choice ribeye, the wagyu filet, and the cod after having an incredible valentine's started with king crab. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an incredible dining experience from start to finish.
