  • Acoustically Treated Dining Comfort

    Dedicated sound attenuation across the dining room keeps ambient volume balanced so tables can converse naturally during busy services.

    This is a place that has invested in what matters - acoustics (we could hear each other), great chef, and professional (also delightful) staff.

    The 80 days dry aged steak was phenomenal, beefy, tender, and juicy.

    As with every single meal I've had the pleasure of eating at NG, the roast was phenomenal. Not a skerrick left on the plate from the perfectly medium rare cooked beef roast layered inside the generously sized, puffy Yorkshire pudding, smooth, dark and rich gravy, perfectly cooked green beans, crispy roast spuds and oh so cheesy cauliflower.
