"Chef Bernie Kantak and restaurateur Andrew Fritz, who also founded Citizen Public House and Beginner’s Luck, have created a cocktail-and-comfort-food haven in all of their restaurant locations. For complete privacy with a group up to 50 (seated), book the Whiskey Room at the Gladly, which has its own bar (stocked with lots of whiskey, natch), a dedicated sound system, and hi-def television. For a semi-private vibe, there’s the Green Room, which sits on a mezzanine that overlooks the restaurant and seats 24. FYI — Beginner’s Luck accommodates loads of small gatherings (often bachelorette parties) on its patio, while Citizen Public House offers two semi-private spaces and an ultra-private upstairs speakeasy." - Nikki Buchanan

"Chef and owner Bernie Kantak is probably most famous for the legendary Stetson chopped salad on the menu at Citizen Public House, the first restaurant he and partner Andrew Fritz opened in Old Town Scottsdale over a decade ago. But Kantak comes from a family of butchers, and many of his meat dishes at both restaurants are legendary as well, including the Commander Hamburger at the Gladly. A charred but juicy patty, fashioned from a blend of certified Angus beef and brisket, sits on a Noble Bread bun that’s been given a swipe of “special sauce.” The fixings are pretty straightforward: lettuce, tomato, onion, and sweet pickle, which supports the argument that simplicity is the height of sophistication. Another option is going to Citizen for the French Onion Burger, an Angus beef patty, served on a Fudd bun with horseradish aioli and Gruyere. It’s a meaty take on French onion soup (with hints of the French dip), served with a side of French onion jus." - Nikki Buchanan

"Although the Gladly has a local cult following in the Biltmore area for its Original Chopped Salad, its whiskey menu deserves the same kind of attention. This is not your standard darkened room with heavy wooden features. The Gladly’s light and airy design is welcoming alongside its five pages of whiskey choices. Its Scotch selection is even broken down into regional selections like Islay and Campbeltown, giving drinkers access to bottles not commonly found." - Asonta Benetti

Our night started at the bar and all 3 Mixologists were on their game ! Andy was outstanding and a true pleasure and professional. His attitude and his pure joy for his craft was infectious and we will be back to sit with him and munch on great appetizers and his concoctions. On to dinner with Leah! Well nothing short here as she also was a consummate professional and attentive and not overbearing as we like our space. We were celebrating my Birthday and we could not have chosen a better venue. Prices were spot on and definitely not gouging as restaurants in this area charge for their location. We look forward to frequent The Gladley!

Amazing food and great service in a large restaurant with a big patio. They really took care of my family for my mom’s graduation dinner. The salmon was amazing and apps were great too.

Photo doesn't do it justice. Best food I had in Phoenix last week. Excellent wait staff. Hats off to Justin, our server. First place I am going next trip.

The food was really good. The yellow fin tuna tasted very fresh. My husband really enjoyed his hamburger. I would give this place a 5 star review but the service wasn’t very friendly or welcoming. Although, I would come back for the food and to try different dishes.

Phenomenal meal in Phx! The scallops were cooked just right—medium-rare with a crispy, delicate browned fond. Loved how they paired them with fresh corn grits, lardons, and that intriguing cola reduction—so darn good! Our group of five dug into our dishes with gusto. Service was top-notch, and the vibe was relaxed and airy, with plenty of greenery to admire—a rare find in Phoenix. Can't wait to come back for more. Thanks for a fab meal!

This is an excellent place for after work drinks and apps or a nice little dinner. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy. They have a good happy hour as well.

The food was spectacular and this was a terrific spot for a nice dinner. I’ve never ordered chimichurri chicken until I visited here — and it was phenomenal. I’d easily drive here again to order this entree. My companion had the mushroom and acorn squash (with vegetables on quinoa and wild rice), and was equally impressed. The catalog of available bourbons and whiskeys is more extensive than any place I’ve ever visited. And, it might sound odd, I noticed how clean the windows were, which was nice since we had a table next to the massive panels of glass. Definitely will be returning to The Gladly.

A Delight!! Service: Upon arriving for reservation, we found a lovely placecard set up by the hostess commemorating our celebratory event. Additionally, our always pleasant and attentive server kindly offered a complimentary dessert in honor of the festivities. Food: Perfectly prepared and delicious. Salmon was tender and tasty, spicy potatoes were 100x more supurb than fries or mash, and rum bread pudding is a definite stand out! And as if the amazing array of whisky selections wasn't already enough, the artisan ice ball adds an extra special distinctive artistic flare that's a must have addition to any glass! Atmosphere: Clean, bright, stylish, and relaxed ambiance. Beautiful bar.

They offered delightful mocktails. Just be cautious; they serve the duck medium rare, which I was not anticipating. The gravy was tasty. My friend's beef was superb. I just needed a bit more from the team and the ambiance to give it all fives.

Gladly has the vibe of a high-end bar with its impressive display of top-shelf whiskey, but it's also a fantastic spot for happy hour. What initially caught my eye on the menu was the Thai Margarita, and it did not disappoint. A hint of spice and a salty rim perfectly complemented the margarita mix--it was so good, I ended up having four of them! To pair with my drinks, I tried the smoked mozzarella fondue. It was rich, flavorful, and downright delicious. I didn't get a chance to sample other happy hour dishes because the fondue was surprisingly filling, but judging by the quality, I'm confident the rest of the menu is just as good. The bartenders stood out as well--friendly, attentive, and skilled at making everyone, whether a newcomer or a regular, feel welcome. I'll definitely be back for more of those margaritas and to explore the rest of the food menu. Highly recommend!

Love this place. I've been to the gladly several times and each time I get the chicken club. I'm typically not a big brioche bun fan but their noble brioche bun they use for that sandwich is amazing. I've always sat at the bar and the service is amazing always. Love the ambiance, this is a beautiful restaurant! Will be back!

It's a great date night place. The staff was warm and attentive, and the guy who refilled my water looked a bit like Freddy Mercury. They really cared that everything met their standards. The Noble Bread appetizer was okay, with the best part being the spoon of flaky salt. The real winner for me was the short ribs, which were succulent. I rarely use that adjective, but these were prepared perfectly. This is an a la carte menu, so don't assume fries come with that burger

We went during restaurant week. They have two options $44 and $55, 3 course meal. Service was great. The Chopped salad was a winner. I never had smoked salmon with my chopped salad. It had right crunchy bits with sweet nuggets. Just what you want in a salad. We had the short rib on the $55 menu and my companion had the salmon on the $44 menu. Both were good, however, we both were baffled by the sauces. It was sad because the proteins were cooked perfectly on the dishes, but the sauces could have been better. The desserts were good. I had a German chocolate cake and my companion had the banana bread pudding. They were good. It is a lively place, more for socializing. Overall, it is a solid choice to eat at.

It's been a couple of years since I was here but the food still remains one of my best memories of Phoenix! When I went they had a special on oysters and it was the first time I'd tried raw ones and they were SO GOOD! The poke salad bowl was fresh and light and we also shared the crab cakes which got inhaled, so no pic. Would highly recommend this joint for excellent cocktails and amazing food while in the area!

I met a couple of colleagues here last night for dinner and it was a great experience. I've been here before and sat outside and remembered then the food was good. Tonight, we were seated about 5min before 6pm and the waitress was so very nice to let us put in some HH orders before 6pm. We ordered the fondue, shrimp cocktail and Brussel sprouts. Brussel sprouts were delicious and my colleagues both killed the shrimp cocktail and fondue, so I take that as a good sign. We then ordered a few more items to share including their tuna crudo and chopped salad and both were fantastic! This place is classy and swarming with people, loved the very adult ambiance of this place. Staff were friendly, helpful, attentive and welcoming. If you park in the lost behind the restaurant, they will validate your ticket and you can come in from the back. I also spied a beautiful bar that's open and welcoming. I'll come check this out next time! Overall, a really nice experience, I'll definitely be back and their HH is a great deal!

I've been going to the Gladly for years and it never disappoints. Service is always impeccable. Their chop salad is to die for and they have a great whiskey selection. I love the modern interior. The noble bread was grilled and the flavored butter was unique. The short rib was pulled apart perfection. I will definitely be back.

This is a great restaurant for lunch or dinner right on the Camelback corridor. It's a little bit west of the Biltmore and you don't have any issues with parking, like you often do over there. This is my first time visiting and I will definitely be back because the food was delicious and the service was fast and friendly. The tacos and tater tots were absolutely fabulous, and the portions were hearty. Surprisingly it was rather quiet at lunch I'm not sure if that's normal or not but I would definitely come back here for a lunch meeting or just to enjoy some incredible tater tots

We ate in the bar area and got a great reception with several people visiting our table. I had the coffee and cigarettes drink which was interesting. The chopped salad was delicious. They took all of the components and mixed them at the table. The crab cake had an avocado purée which added to the taste. The grilled filet mignon was cooked perfectly. There was a lot of energy in the restaurant for a Wednesday night. Super great meal!

I have wanted to try this place for a long time and I am glad I finally made it! I started off with some bubbly that complimented the cheese fondue so well. The cheese was delicious and paired well with the bread, sausage and pears. I had the steak salad and everything was well seasoned and the steak cooked well. The service was great and the staff attentive and helpful. The place got progressively more busy as the night went on but the noise level was not bothersome. Cannot wait to come back!

Stopped by for a quick happy hour drink before dinner elsewhere. Place was pretty empty around 3:30p on a Friday which allowed for a nice relaxing vibe. The bartenders were quick to take our order and super friendly! My husband ordered the Gladly Whiskey old fashioned and I had an espresso martini. We paid an extra $3 for the ice ball and it was totally worth it! Such a fun thing to watch as the bartender described the process to us. We also ordered the bacon fat popcorn which was SO good (with a bit of salt added). Great place to start a date or have a date night!

Wow wow wow -- this restaurant, ambience and service are truly delightful. My server, Fabian (sp?), was just wonderful -- friendly, and really helped me navigate my gluten free options. I began with "That One Drink," a concoction of vodka; orange marmalade reduction and Elderflower. Delicious! My starter was the roasted Brussels on a bed of incredibly creamy sweet corn polenta, finished with Pecorino and truffle oil. Honest to God, I could have licked the plate clean of that polenta! For my entree, I chose the Original Chopped Salad, eliminating the couscous and having steak, rather than salmon. Also wonderful! The homemade buttermilk dressing beautifully sets off all the flavors of the salad. The interior is industrial and inviting, and there are lovely outdoor seating areas, as well as nice architectural landscaping. The Gladly has been around for about 10 years, and it's no wonder. If you haven't been, get yourself to The Gladly. (And shout out to Vicente, who gave me all kinds of background on the restaurant, and Phoenix)

Their flavors are so unique on the menu! I like to see different variations of popular American menu items on menus. I know they're known for their chopped salad, but get the crudo first! I'm keeping this version of a chopped salad in my repertoire. Definitely will be recreating when I get home. They have the salad in a nice striped design when they bring it out and then mix it right in front of you like a work of art! The waiter told me this salad keeps them in business. The crudo was amazing! The sauce was mild but slightly sweet like lemon and the pickled onions gave it a nice zest. The fish was so tender, fresh, and non-stringy. The servers were also attentive and quick. No complaints at all. They have a little parking lot and lots of outdoor seating.

So glad for The Gladly!! Upscale ambiance! Food and drinks appeared quickly right after ordering, as if the chef could read your mind and make your food magically appear!! Started with that one drink (yes, that's what it's called). It was good, but a little too tart for me. The shrimp cocktail was alright, nothing special. It came with a creamy sauce and cocktail sauce. I preferred the cocktail sauce. I don't recommend the brussel sprouts here. Very bland and not much aromatic flavor. On the other hand, the scallops were solid! Not the best scallops I've had, but pretty solid! The Gladly is not the best restaurant out there if u want mouthwatering flavorful dishes. Their dishes are mildly flavored, which is better for u in general, as I think they go really easy on the salt! The Gladly is definitely where u need to dine if u have celiacs disease. Their entire menu is practically gluten free!! Overall, great ambiance, tons of gluten free options, and really quick service!

It was completely unplanned but ended up becoming one of my favorite dining experiences in Phoenix. They earned its title as a Whisky bar. There is a nice tweak in every cocktail on their menu, so I picked "coffee & cigarettes" . It tasted smoky and delicate, really love it. The chopped salad is a must. With the appealing look, you might be more amazed by the dressing. Try it! Interesting pairing with grits for the pan seared scallops. Very delicious! I like the contemporary ambiance and great services. Highly recommended.

Great food and service. Dined here with a large work group, they were kind enough to accommodate us last minute. The food is outstanding, everything from their salmon salad to Brussels sprouts to comfort foods like tater tots! My entree was the short rib and it was out of this world. The portion size is huge and can easily feed two people. The snickers ice cream dessert was delicious. My glass of Cabernet was one of the best I've had. Wonderful service from our waitress. Cute decor and ambiance.

Tom M.

Yelp
The Poke was really good with limited ingredients, but was preferred because it can get overwhelming with too many options. Nice fresh tuna, and salmon, including avocado, cucumbers, onions, and a sauce that was very thick like an aïoli, but wasn't as tasty and actually rather bland. The seared yellowfin tuna was exceptionally good with a nice ginger sauce mixture! Service was responsive and friendly. A good option if you are in the general area which is riddled with many restaurant choices. Parking is very limited.

I planned my fiancé's surprise party here, and the team here went above and beyond to make sure it was perfect. Katie was great to work with as we coordinated dates, and CJ did an absolutely outstanding job in helping me get the details together, and then during the event itself. She was on top of everything during the party, and I couldn't have asked for better service from her and her outstanding team. The space was beautiful, and everyone was so impressed. I highly recommend this location and team.

Best meal I've had yet, in Phx. The scallops were perfectly medium-rare, with a browned fond that was crisp and delicate. Beautifully paired with fresh corn grits, lardons, and some kind of cola reduction--really fantastic. We were a party of five, and all enjoyed their dishes. Great service, a light and airy space with lots of green, plant-filled views (a rarity in Phoenix, where everything tends to brown). Can't wait to go back. Thanks for a really nice meal.

On our recent winter getaway trip to Phoenix we made a reservation for six to celebrate the big 7-0 for one member of our party. Shortly before the appointed time,as we were driving to the restaurant, we got a call letting us know that our table would be ready in 15 minutes -- smart -- if we're on the way, the table is ready, if not, it can be released for other customers. Since we responded to the call and were on the way, we were promptly seated on arrival -- a sign of impeccable front of the house management. But we came for the food and a celebration. I started with a cocktail, something they called, "Beginner's Luck," a variation on a classic Old Fashioned. The blend of bourbon, amaro, cherry liqueur and bitters was excellent. I've actually started making the same cocktail at my home bar. Tasty! I decided to go with coffee rubbed short ribs with parsnip purée, broccolini and a cherry BBQ sauce served on the side. The meat was well braised -- it reminded me of my mom's pot roast the way the ribs were fall apart, tender and moist. The coffee rub was apparent, but not overwhelming. The purée and broccolini were decent but not spectacular. Thankfully the BBQ sauce was served on the side--it brought nothing to the plate, was overly sweet, and lacking the essence of a good, tangy, southwestern BBQ. Had it been served on top of the beef the dish would have been inedible, in particular because it just didn't jive with the parsnips. I don't remember what everyone else in our group ordered. But I can report that everyone was essentially satisfied with our dining experience at the Gladly. Even though no one raved about their food or drinks, the meal was fine, we had a great evening together, and at some level -- that's what going out with friends to celebrate is all about. BTW, parking in the lot behind the restaurant was convenient, and free, with a ticket validated by the restaurant.

The ambiance here is perfect for a date night or intimate gathering with some friends! I wish I could be more excited writing this review as I've been wanting to dine here for awhile. The entrees weren't anything more than ordinary and nothing about them wowed us. I'm typically a sucker for a food tenderloin steak salad and was saddened by the quality of the one I got. I did request for the steak to be cooked well done and it was closer to medium. Given the intimate setting of the place, I'm glad the waitress gave us space to enjoy while still making sure if there was anything more we needed. We did opt for the cinnamon roll dessert with bourbon glaze and that was easily my favorite part. For two, it was huge and we devoured it all.

The Gladly has become my favorite go to restaurant and bar the past three years. Everything there is simply incredible. The food, the drinks, the service, the location and environment. This place is first rate in every way you could imagine.

CONSISTENTLY SUPERIOR. Each and every time we visit, I am impressed by the professional bartending. The Gladly takes the bar seriously and does not have just any server making drinks behind the bar. They also have one of the best hooch selections in town. The menu is limited, but each dish is executed perfectly with fresh quality ingredients. The salmon is simply divine. Easy five stars.

The Gladly is one of my favorite restaurants to go to. The aesthetic of the restaurant is very pleasing, very chill. The service was great and the food is always delicious. My most recent visit, I had to keep it light so I ordered the baby iceberg wedge. Every ingredient on the salad tasted so fresh and I truly appreciate that. That's something that doesn't occur very often at restaurants. I will be back to try the ribeye. I heard great things about that entree.

So The Gladly has always been a favorite restaurant of mine... especially if I need accommodations. In previous reviews I stated how at times I had to be off dairy and they were always so good at accommodating and making the food delicious. So we decided to go to The Gladly with some friends to introduce them to the restaurant and restaurant week. We were quickly seated inside at a booth. I noticed the outside patio had been enclosed and redone so it was a bit more private and added to the restaurant dining experience. Our server came, took our orders and then left. She came back once and one of us requested another drink, as she walked away, we tried to get her attention to add on another drink and she ignored us. So the next time she came by, I asked her if we could order another bartender creation... the likes and dislikes were given...and... it..never..came.. unfortunately this was for one of the friends who we had brought with us. I was highly disappointed. Our server went from okay to poor... in the middle of our dining experience it was like she just disappeared. When she finally came back with our check, she didn't ask if we wanted it split... so then we had to wait for her to come close again, get her attention and ask her to split the check. Besides the service... the waters were continuously filled by other staff and the food was absolutely delicious..our friends were extremely impressed with the food. Up to this point they had said they had not found a place they would choose to frequent. After trying the food here, they said they would totally come again. While I was glad the lack of service didn't sway them, I'm always disappointed when the experience is lacking... especially when introducing someone to the place you have come to love... and know how good the WHOLE experience can actually be.

Went here for the first time with my husband and kid. Made a reservation and was sat immediately upon arrival (given our res was at 5:45). Service was good overall, food was delicious, and ambiance was nice. My husband and I both got the chef selected ribeye that came with a mustard reduction, Demi glaze, broccolini, and mashed potatoes. They were absolutely delicious. Significantly better than STK - don't waste your money at STK for a steak, go to The Gladly instead. We were celebrating my birthday and they gave us any dessert on the house (with a candle). My son got the Mac and cheese from the kids menu, which was delicious as well! He also has a severe allergy, which they accommodated to extremely well. Definitely would recommend to others and would 100% go back again.

Here for the salad! Honestly, whenever I'm in town for business, I have to hit up The Gladly for their delicious chopped salad and take a few orders of their "super yummy" nuts to-go. Everything about the salad is amazing -- the varied flavor profiles just work. Smoked salmon, couscous, pepitas, Asiago cheese, currants, dried "super sweet" corn and marinated tomatoes on a bed of arugula drizzled with buttermilk herb dressing *CHEFS KISS* Shout out to the roasted brussel sprouts and whiskey. Check this place out if you're in the area!

Came here on a Friday for restaurant week and I was highly impressed. We made a reservation in advance and were able to be seated right away. The staff was amazing! Our waitress was friendly, personable and gave great recommendations. The environment is warm and inviting. For restaurant week it was pre fixed menu with three courses. I ordered the original chopped salad, roasted mushrooms and acorn squash and the olive oil brownie. All of it was delicious and I appreciated the healthy options. I would certainly visit again.

Was in Phoenix and got stellar references to The Gladly, and they are deservedly so. We got a lot of the happy hour menu, like the Brussel Sprouts (on grits), the Pretzel and sausage. The Commander burger is simply great. But the best imho is the Chopped Salad, so much so that I'm trying to replicate it at home! I know I won't have their herb buttermilk dressing or their dried super sweet corn, but I can still dream I'm there. Their drink menu has selections across everything I like but was in a bourbon mood so got the Manhattan (from their draft prep), and it was classic and good with perfect balance. I'll have the Moscow Mule and the Expresso Martini the next time! It's casual with a great comfortable class. We sat inside, but the outdoor seating looked great in the cool evening. Parking is easy and validated. A walk outside through the desert gardens is a plus!

We chose this spot for our anniversary dinner this year. We love trying new places and to be honest, when scouring Instagram those scallops caught my eye and I couldn't stop thinking about them. We actually caught happy hour and enjoyed a cocktail each (I had the espresso martini...YUM) and the mozzarella fondue. Delicious! My husband also had to try the 'ice ball' experience which was fun. He loves a good Old Fashioned so we was happy. Our entrees were brought out promptly and I was right about the scallops. Wow were they good!!!!! Wonderful texture components. My husband had the filet (it really shocked me that he ordered this) and while he definitely enjoyed it, we both felt that at $60 it was overpriced. We were too full for dessert but were sent home with a box of cookies for our anniversary. Also the ambiance is a little casual. Which might explain why we felt the filet was overpriced. All in all, we enjoyed our time and would return.

Came to the Gladly for the first night of restaurant week. Wasn't sure what to expect but I'd heard good things and this is where my friends decided we go. We went on a double date together and arrived around 7:30pm. You had to make a reservation, although it didn't look overly crowded for a Friday night. We were sat, and greeted with menu's. The restaurant week menu we'd seen online and it looked great. There were two prices options (one for $45, one for $55) and it came with an appetizer, the main entree, and dessert. Not bad at all! Me and my beau tried two different items for each, he selected the soup for appetizer, and me the burrata. For entrees we selected the pan roasted halibut and this wasn't on the menu online, but they had a steak option. I went for that one! And for dessert, he had the chocolate butterscotch cake and I had the whiskey bread pudding. Of all of the items, my meal altogether was better overall! Not just because I selected them of course () but they were just more tasty. The burrata was to die for.... The cheese was perfection with the salad and it had a semi crispy bread served with it, and the tomato and mixture had the perfect saltiness and just, the combination of it all was... heaven in my mouth! The soup was good but it wasn't at all to die for, or even close to as tasty as my burrata. The steak... ooh. I ordered it medium rare and that's how it came out and it had a wonderful crust to the outside. It was seasoned perfectly and it came over a mound of super flavorful and creamy, soft, mashed potatoes, topped with some asparagus spears, the steak, and a tasty, very savory gravy. The combination of the three were simply wow. The halibut was good, a tad overcooked on the outside, but it must have been the bacon lardon but there was a very tasty flavor that enhanced the fish so much. The sweet corn grits were good but again, not something I'd rave about or even remember if I wasn't actively trying to remember for this review. The desserts... oh, goodness... the desserts. So we were torn on this one because my babe loved his chocolate cake. To me, it was more on the bland side, didn't have any sauce atop, and it certainly had a chocolate taste but I felt it was dry. I enjoy myself the moistest cakes, personally, so it didn't fit the bill but he enjoyed it. My whisky bread pudding however... I'd say 7 out of 10. The flavors were wonderful, you could definitely taste a hint of whisky and it was creamy in the mouth. Overall, the service was ok. Our server was soft spoken and I hoped for more menu guidance, recommendations, and confidence and zeal about the dining experience as a whole so it wasn't spectacular, but it wasn't bad. I'd go somewhere else first before I dropped the $ for the Gladly and the food and experience overall. Because if it weren't for the Restaurant Week menu prices, I think I would have been disappointed for the cost and what we received overall.

Last night I met my buddy after a work event at The Gladly. I have been here once before with my wife, and really enjoyed the rather extensive whiskey selection. I had a great four roses Manhattan straight up, but then I decided to stick around and we hung out at the bar and grabbed dinner. I had their salmon which was excellent and cooked to perfection. Stephanie and Andy at the bar were great hosts and made it a fun experience . I was searching for some new options for my bourbon palette and asked for things that would possibly compete with what I think is among the best in taste - Garrison Brothers Balmorhea. It was suggested that I try this Stagg Jr. and it was wonderful. Overall, we had a great night, hanging out, enjoying the food, the ambience, and certainly the Bourbon! Andy made us a cool concoction for a desert drink which topped off the evening quite nicely. Thanks for another great round of food drinks and fun.

Centrally located restaurant that's great for lunch and dinner. The meals here are great, well balanced and have always had great flavor. Most recently had their scallops for dinner which is amazing. The scallops themselves were cooked perfectly. The service is top notch here and clear the servers and wait staff are trained for having a high standard. Lots of windows let in a lot of natural light during lunch and at night the restaurant is lit just enough to provide a more upscale vibe. Their Thai margarita is one of my favorite spicy drinks, and the best part for me is that they can make it alcohol free. Worth a try with or without tequila for sure!

Very nice dining experience! We had no idea they had a patio. The ambiance of the patio combined with delicious Mexican shrimp and a great selection of cocktails, bourbon, and wine made a memorable evening. The steaks were cooked to perfection . Delaney and Rachel certainly deserve a shout out for their friendly and attentive service. This place is definitely worth revisiting!

My sister and I ate here during restaurant week, we both have celiac and there were options for all 3 courses. I had probably some of the best scallops ever w corn grits, my sister had chimichurri chicken and we both had delicious butternut squash soup. For desert we had gf German chocolate cake and it was phenomenal. The weather on Monday was incredible so we sat on the patio. Loved the ambience and the service.

Stopped in for a quick lunch - & glad I found this gem. I ordered a "standard" go-to, fresh greens salad with steak . . . Boy, was I amazed at the quality of the food! Definitely, one of the best cuts of steak I've ever been served on a salad. Tender, perfectly prepared, with great flavor from marinade that complimented the flavor of the meat without overwhelming. Figs & candied almonds also were subtle additions that made the salad enjoyable. Server was upbeat and attentive - went the extra mile without being intrusive. I will definitely return to try another entree for dinner.

We had a great first time at The Gladly! First, our server was outstanding...I wish I could remember his name because he deserves props! He recommended an Asian whiskey...never went down that road before and it was surprisingly good. My wife and I shared the chopped salad...outstanding...and I had the salmon and my wife had the poke bowl. Both dishes had great flavor, was well prepared and well presented. I'm definitely going back and would recommend it to others. The only complaint is that it was real loud due to the concrete floors and hard edges which made it hard to have a conversation because the place was packed!

Came for a work lunch so didn't get pics, but ordered the tacos of the day. The were good but I immediately regretted not getting the Cobb salad w salmon! It looked AMAZING, tossed table side. Beautiful ambiance, small parking lot. Excellent, top notch service!

First time at The Gladly. We have dined at it's sister location, Citizen Public House, several times. We arrived at 5:50 for a 6:15 reservation and were seated right away. Our server, Liz, offered us drinks and apps. We barely beat the happy hour, so drinks and apps were discounted. From that we got wine and the 'Super Yummy Nuts'. It was busy, so in a few, my wife ordered a glass of wine, nuts plus the Scallops. I ordered the Chopped Salad and the Poke. Our nuts and drinks arrived in short order. The nuts were advertised as smoked and spiced. I would've called them smoked and candied. Still yummy tho. After about 15 mins, Liz returned with our dinners. I've had the chopped salad about 25 times, but it was just as outstanding as the first time. The poke bowl is as also very good, with a mix of tuna, salmon, avocado, pickled onions, thinly sliced jalapeños, cucumbers, field greens and a spicy aioli. My wife enjoyed her scallops, which came with grits and a bacon gastric. In all it came to $106.83 plus tip. An outstanding meal in a loud but welcoming atmosphere.

Our server/service was great. She was attentive and not overbearing and respected our space/time on deciding on the menu. She gets a star for herself (wish I remembered her name). I thought the dinner menu was underwhelming and not too many choices. This can be good or bad depending on how you see it. I was a little leery on ordering any seafood as I could smell it in the air (usually a sign of not so fresh seafood). Although, I must say.... i enjoyed my steak salad and my husband enjoyed his chicken dish. Would I go back you ask? Nah, it's pretty and all but not a restaurant that I would return to or recommend off the bat as there are so many other places to try. If I could give 1/2 stars, this would be a 2.5. Don't take it personal, I'm coming from SF, LA & NYC. Hard to please this palette. Onto the next...

Came for drinks and dinner during the week. The ambience is cool and chic without being stuffy. Service was excellent. We had an old fashioned and a Manhattan, both were amazing!! We enjoyed a couple of rounds. The burrata was to die for. Will definitely be back.

The Gladly is our version of an upscale modern Cheers! The happy hour menu is fantastic and the cocktail to try is the Coffee and Cigarettes! It's not only a cocktail but also a show as they smoke the glass with tobacco. The bartenders are fantastic and personable. They have helped me when I messed up with a reservation and my family had a great time! Overall my husband and I love the Gladly and we are grateful to have such a great bar and restaurant in our neighborhood.

Came for happy hour and what a great decision it was. The staff was friendly and although we came at a time when it was picking up, we didn't feel like an after thought. We got few happy hour cocktails which were all pretty good. The hillbilly egg rolls were pretty good but decadent and dense, the Brussel sprouts with sweet corn grits and the pecorino Romano was delicious and full of flavor but the highlight was the Commander burger which was damn good. The patty was thin but full of flavor and the toppings rounded the burger out well, the special sauce seemed like a homemade thousand island but better. Note: it comes with raw onions so I'm sure if you ask for grilled they can accommodate (we didn't want to wreak of onions so we removed them). Other than that, we were very happy with our experience and would come back.

Dinner for four with cocktails to start at the bar. The contraption that turns a big square ice cube into a clear round one is a great party trick. Entertain your friends! My scallops, chef recommended medium rare, were fabulous. I was leary of medium rare but it was a great sear, perfectly heavily seasoned. The short ribs were crazy tender, and a surprisingly large portion. The roast chicken was tender and delicious, and made its way home for leftovers. Everything about this outing was great. We will be back.
