but the pig face was out of this world!

Yeah that is absolutely outstanding.
Found the recipe (see below) as I will try to duplicate this in my kitchen. I'm very familiar with braising and can improvise on the tamarind vinaigrette and cilantro oil sauces. Will call 2 local slaughterhouses to inquire about farm raised pig heads.
I'm busy the next several weekends but will find the time to experiment with this dish and keep y'all posted on my results.

Going here tonight. Thanks to the OP for the recommendations. Will def go with duck tongue and goat carpaccio.

The halibut dish and the roasted pig face are unreal. You won't get anything like that pig face in another restaurant. Take advantage
The miso shishito peppers are good, but I have the recipe and make them at home a good bit. Very easy. So I'd skip that.

The pig face is unreal.
Also the green beans side is really really great. It simple but awesome.

The other end is tied with twine then braised in pork stock for 12 hours. It is the exact same batch of stock they have been using since the restaurant opened. It is brought to a boil every single day to ensure that it is sanitary, and more pork stock is added if needed. According to Izard, the braise is so gelatinous that you could probably "bounce it on the floor.

go for it brother
I was back in Chicago last weekend for 3 days/nights and couldn't fit G&G in my schedule.
Weather was brutal at -4 degrees and -31 wind chill - we ordered Giordanos pizza , I cooked gumbo for my relatives one night (see below pic), and dined at Cucina Biagio ... incredible Italian food
as mentioned multiple times, get the pig face !
my uncle Louie had never eaten gumbo before. He ate 5 bowls of this

Hard to admit liking much about chicaago in the winter, but my god this was top 5 meals in my life without question. Apologies in advance for no pics, the food is so well timed coming out that photos are an afterthought:
Miso Hungry bread = wished I had another roll
Raw British Columbia oyster- wish I had more than one
Green beans - solid recommendation
Calamari bruschetta was great
Pan roasted drum was solid (not halibut tonight)
Seared scallops were good
Tie for favorite between pig face and pork shank
Crispy short ribs were nice
Goat belly was mixed with a considerable amount of crab, lobster, and butter, all you could taste was lobster and butter.... Left me wishing I had strong-armed colleagues into goat carpaccio
Black coffee was phenomenal
Goat cheese cheesecake.... Regret not getting my own
Squash something dessert wasn't memorable
Would eat there again in a heartbeat!

Yea that place is awesome. I think my favorite dish was the halibut.
I loved the pig face but i think the egg on top is not needed at all.
