"Guu is open late, the atmosphere is great, there's cold beer and the food is spot on and delicious. The chefs have a one page written menu of specials and if you can sit at the bar I recommend doing so, because it's a good crew to watch cook." – Brian Luptak

My fav restaurant in downtown. I always go for the 3 course tasting menu as it changes periodically. It’s a real treat!

"I've had some of the most emotionally-charged simple meals at this small intimate restaurant. It takes a lot of guts to ride the wave he rides. Flavors are delicate, ingredients pristine and amazing execution. This is a great example of effortless simplicity." – Jair Tellez
