    I was hearing a lot of good things about this restaurant but I’m very picky when it comes to my favorites. This blew my ratings out of the water. The candied carrots with the whipped feta is probably the best dish I’ve ever eaten. We all planned on sharing our meals but became too involved with our food before we even had a chance to share with one another ! Along with a great meal, our server was absolutely incredible. He was so attentive and was such a great help when it came to deciding what foods to get ! We can’t wait to get back here

    Delicious food, festive occasion, bustling restaurant but we felt very private and happy in our table in a back corner. Attentive but not intrusive service. Food presented nicely, good variety of dishes, we all enjoyed our meals, whether seafood or Italian specialties. Not rushed through it, either; plenty of time to linger over our meals. We always enjoy our time at Gola!
