im bummed that i didnt go to the gladley sooner in my travels to phoenix!! finally stopped in for dinner last night and i was super impressed! the restaurant is clean, chic and everyone is friendly. i was dining by myself, so i chose one of the many seats at the bar. their happy hour specials from 4-6 PM are AMAZING, especially half off raw bar?! unheard of. unfortunately i arrived about 12 minutes after 6 and couldnt partake in those items.
i wasnt feeling too hungry - so i got the brussel sprouts over creamy corn grits ($12ish) and the crab cakes ($22ish) - both from the shareables part of the menu. they came out quickly enough, as i was drinking one of the several cocktails on tap - an aviation ($12). both dishes were very well made, great balance of flavors + crunch, and i would order them again! well done. i think they would price the cocktails on tap at a lower price than the made to order ones - makes more sense no?
location is great too - 5 minute walk from the camby hotel. you could even do it when it's 108 degrees outside :) would definitely want to return for happy hour on future visits to phoenix!
