The food was delicious and the portions were substantial. The kitchen was very efficient and Alejandra the server was amazing. She was very knowledgeable, professional and hospitable. I relied on her for recommendations and she guided me perfectly. This was our first time there. I would go back again and again.

This was our first visit The Gladly, and it was on Christmas Eve. We made a reservation… And it’s a good thing that we did because they were very busy. From the minute, we walked in through the entire meal the vibe throughout the restaurant was very upbeat and professional. But people really seem to be having a lot of fun. Our server Liz was a phenomenal. We made it in time for a couple happy hour drinks and appetizers, which were excellent. We also bought the ice ball and Liz demonstrated how they make them and explained the whole process to us. It was very interesting. A portion of the cost for the ice ball was donated to their charity for the month. Three of our party got the special for the evening and I got the salmon. The portions were large, super tasty and well prepared. A couple of us ended up, taking home a doggy bag. This was our first visit… But it will definitely not be our last. We were quite impressed with the restaurant, as well as the employees. In addition, one of the main reasons we chose the restaurant is because they do a great job with offering gluten free items. This is extremely important to us as my daughter has Celiacs. We would definitely recommend this for a special occasion, or just to hang out with friends.
