Not impressive from the outside, because it's tucked away in an older neighborhood. However, the interior did remind us of the "petits restos" in France. Seating is limited, and the place is popular...so reserve in advance. Natalie greeted us warmly and took excellent and patient care of us all evening...we were there a long time!! The wine list is of manageable size and has a good sampling of France's major regions, with mostly reasonable pricing. But the best part is the food, all of which is very well prepared. The Grilled Octopus appetizer is incredibly tender and flavorful. The absolutely delicious Caramelized Onion and Goat Cheese Tart is nice rich quiche by another name, with perfect texture and tons of flavor. Finally, the (non-traditional) Escargots with the fresh mushrooms were great, but just a touch salty. The main courses did not disappoint anyone either. The Veal Chop was tender, nicely seasoned and cooked to desired doneness, as was the Filet Mignon Oscar. Others in our party had the Portobello Ravioli, salmon and seared scallops, and were uniformly delighted. It seems you can't go wrong with any dish. Our shared desserts were also very good. This is authentic French-style cuisine!!!

We had a fancy meal here on Thanksgiving. The steak was remarkably good and all the sides and earlier courses were tasty. The beet salad with honey goat cheese sticks out as worth trying. Cool neighborhood.

Our daughter discovered this place for us. It is tiny - 4 countertop seats by the kitchen and a small array of tables. We slid in at 6:30 and enjoyed an unhurried dinner. Fantastic drink selection (beer, wine and cocktails) with some interesting things you don't see all the time. Try the rum old fashioned! Bone marrow with a luge bourbon shot to finish and a very creative foie gras appetizer. Three of our group enjoyed the duck, elk and fish main courses while one had a salad and porkbelly bun. All excellent. We passed on desserts but they had a nice assortment that merit a look. This place is on our list to return to visit. Our server was amazing - everyone working here is excited to be at the restaurant and they know the menu top to bottom, inside and out. It made for a wonderful experience.

Table 6 is a super relaxed, comfortable place that immediately feels homey and wonderful. The staff are really friendly, and the service is excellent. There is a fairly small menu each day, and the offerings are varied and unique. Absolutely loved the salad with fresh apricots, brie and toasted hazelnuts, and oohed and ahed over the tater tots with pesto and pecorino. Wowsah! Two of shared four appetizers and it was more than enough. I would definitely recommend this place. No sense of being rushed. Just a terrific meal and a super nice Friday on the town.

G&G was highly recommended by family that live in Denver so I ventured there with a colleague. We took a last minute reservation at 9:30 PM on a Thursday night (that's all they had).We arrived at 9:25 PM (thanks google timeline) and they said it would be a few minutes until our table would be ready. We did enjoy ourselves at the bar but they didn't get us until after 10PM.I have traveled to Denver numerous times and have eaten at many of the fine dining establishments. G&G is at the very top of the $$$$ scale in Denver and is a challenging value proposition. See below. The food was outstanding. The salad portions are large and both were delicious. We had a Cesar and a Greek(ish)? salad.We shared a 22 oz ribeye and each had a 6 oz lobster tail, they were both great. Mushrooms and the Nudi were standout sides. We had 2 desserts as well: both excellent.The service was where this place struggled. They initially tried seating us along the kitchen in an area that was deserted so we asked for a booth where there were still people dining. They obliged. However after that no one came to see us, offer us water, wine or a drink for about 10 minutes.Once we did meet our waiter he said he would bring bread and get the somm for me. The sparkling never came, nor the bread, nor the somm. When he came back another 10 minutes later he wondered if the somm had taken our wine order to which I said no, nor did we have water or bread. It was close to 10:30.Ultimately we never saw the somm and we ordered a bottle of wine that was on the somm recommended section (I beleive a Sonoma County Pinot). While he was taking our food order the bread and water showed up. Salads came out pretty quickly, but then there was a long lull before steak/lobster/sides. It was like it was never fired because there was easily a 30 minute period we never saw our waiter with no explanation. The runner who brought them didn't ask if we needed anything else (horseradish) and we didn't see our waiter for another 10 minutes. I have a feeling he was on break or a meal period, but no one came to say he/she would be taking care of us.A different waiter took our dessert order and finally we saw our main guy. At about 11:30 the restaurant was really in tear down mode...especially the section we would have been sat in. When the desserts showed up 15 minutes later (maybe 11:45 PM) there were about 5 tables still with people but the staff was obviously done for the night and really made us feel rushed (even though we were waiting on them). We left at 12:15 AM and were the last people out, but not really by choice.,I also don't remember any manager checking on us.Like I said, the food was great but the service not polished. At over $400 for two people they are at the high end of Denver and really show blow you away with service (or at least make you not notice the issues).I would come back but I guess try to eat earlier or be a little more demanding while dining.
