    My wife of 49 years, and I are visiting from Virginia. We were greeted warmly on arrival. Our service was prompt, courteous and attentive. Devon was outstanding. The food was amazing. I could not eat it all. We shared the baby back ribs and the Crispy grouper sandwich. The bread was freshly baked, but be careful you don’t fill up on it so there’s no room for your meal. My wife said the coconut cream pie was the best she ever had. Very grateful for such a lovely and romantic evening.

    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.

    Such a festive outdoor setting with wonderful food and drinks. We started with drinks at Sidecar and then moved over to the beer garden tables outside for dinner. It was great for our larger group of 7. We love the whole experience.
