I went to The Gladly last night for Arizona Restaurant Week with a friend. I'd never heard of this place, but decided to keep an open mind. This place is definitely popular with the yuppie crowd. Don't let that stop you from going to dinner here.
From their specialized menu for restaurant week, my friend had the chopped salad, and I guess they're known for their chopped salad. She seemed to enjoy it. I started off with the butternut soup. It was a generous portion of deliciousness.
I had the pan seared scallops, which were slightly oversalted. They came under a nice bechamel sauce and I think some blanched spinach. It was still very good. My friend got the duck meatloaf, which I stole a couple bites of. One word: wow. I'm getting that when I come back.
The dessert was okay. It was a s'more style bread pudding with salted caramel ice cream. I've had better bread pudding.
We also split the fondue from the regular menu. It came with bread, ham, and Asian pears. It was my first experience with fondue. It was enough for two people to enjoy.
The service was excellent! Instead of asking who had ordered what course, the busboys automatically knew and placed your course in front of you. Every time someone came to check on you, they always refilled your water from the carafe they left in your table.
