We came for drinks but stayed for the food. Jordy was the bartender during our time at Gravity Bar at G Hotel. He was the best! He provided us exceptional service, was friendly and attentive. He told us about the food, and we decided to order and it was really good! Make sure to ask for Jordy when you come!
