Place is cute but very loud. Food is good but expensive. I ordered a steak medium rare and it was undercooked - VERY rare. No big deal, I asked for it to be brought back and cooked a little more. It came back medium well if not well done. Seems like the chef was annoyed I sent it back. I couldn’t even eat it. $38 for a steak not cooked to my liking. I likely won’t be back

G offers fine dining in a casual setting. Our cocktails were first rate-I especially recommend the Smoky Punch, a Mexcal-based drink. Our food was excellent too: We shared the arincini and the beet salad, and had the eggplant entree. The chocolate soufflé dessert was a fine way to end our meal. Service was friendly and attentive too.

Lovely cozy spot, even on a rainy autumn evening. They feature unusual ingredients so ask a lot of questions before assuming that these are classic preperations. My friend did not enjoy her salad as it featured "chopped vegetables" which turned out to be chopped brocolli and cauliflour as opposed to the usual peppers, tomatoes, etc that you get in a salad. My risoto was crunchy, not creamy. I would have preferred the classic preperation. Our after dinner decaf was Americano which means decaf expresso. We would have prefered regular old decaf. Strangely they only pour 4 oz which is a very small pour for after dinner coffee. The place is lovely, and was very filled on a Monday night with happy locals. Please try, just ask a lot of questions if you have a picky eater in your group.

Multiple times I have tried little G now and been disappointed each time with the service over and over again. Not welcoming and then you wait 30+ min for someone to even greet you with water.

A true gem in swampscott! Best gluten free pizza in town, plus the chicken souvlaki and the steak and lamb tips are excellent. Great for kids, a work dinner, or to watch the game. So glad they opened up this sister restaurant and we are frequent patrons.

I ordered two grilled chicken sandwiches and was very disappointed. The chicken breast inside the brioche bun was so small that I did not eat 70% of the roll.

Ordered two salads for takeout at $32 and my 8 year old kid ate one and half mine. Staff for takeout was horrible! Will not be returning and did not feel like this was a place to recommend to others.
Our food was really good but our waitress Christie RUINED our dinner experience. She was visibly moody and inattentive the entire time. I had a question and she just kept rushing away and looking around at other tables while we were talking to her. She had time to talk at the bar though. Another customer went to pay at the host stand (probably because Christie hadn't been around) and she rushed up to the host stand, took the bill, and rolled her eyes at her paying customers SO HARD I could almost hear them. When it came time for our party to pay, she disappeared yet again and we had to literally flag someone down (Not Christie, of course) and pay that way. I'm a server so I understand being busy, but that's not what this was and the restaurant was not that busy. Leave your attitude at home.

Typically I don't leave bad reviews. But this was by far the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. I've dined in many cities across the US, and in many types of establishments. We had an issue with one of six dishes. We told the waitress and she took the plate of food back. Rather than fix it, or ask questions, the manager and owner came out with the plate of food to tell us we were wrong. They flanked the person with the food, and the owner literally picked up the food off the plate with his bare hands and held it up to tell us it was fine when it obviously was not. Disgusting hygienically as well as a horrible attitude. He laid his hands on my 12-year old as well. He was angry and rude and intimidated my entire family. We could not wait to leave. I have never felt so upset at a restaurant in my life. Very disappointed.

This is my wife and my favorite low key spot for us to have a date night! Huge hit with the locals! Great drinks and pizza. Also really like their ceasar salad here!

Myself and two friends went to eat an early dinner there. The place has a clean, cool vibe. Only complaint about the setup is the chairs. They are the absolute worst! Hard metal chairs with bars that prohibit you from sitting all the way back.For apps we had the “scratch nachos”, they were delicious. They had a little kick and were cheesy on every bit. But not overloaded. The Shrimp Spiedini were nicely grilled.For my dinner I had a pasta dish, that had chicken and mushrooms with homemade fettuccini. It was really good with a little kick.For desert we shared the chocolatefi moose and lemon cheesecake. Both were good but the chocolate moose was perfect.Our waiter was friendly and polite.I would definitely go back here! Overall great experience ??Parking: Small size parking lot right next to the place.
