    We had a great time and were greeted with a birthday card for our birthday person. Service was excellent and careful. The food was delicious, we had squash ravioli, rainbow trout and an asian inspired pork chop. Wonderful sides and dessert was amazing. The best galette tart of our lives and with birthday candles! We will return.

    Lots of great food + drink choices, so everyone's happy. The service was fabulous. A bit on the noisy side, but we would definitely go here again.

    Everyone in our large group agreed that the food exceeded our expectations. The pork chop was a standout, but also the French dip, burger and Cali bowl. Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Wish we had GLK in our neighborhood.
