I am a huge fan of Citizen Public House so when I saw they had opened a sister restaurant, my expectations were high going into it. Right off the bat definitely thought the aesthetics were very nice and it looked like a nicer than casual type restaurant. The ambiance was very warm and we were greeted with warm hellos and smiles. Our waiter Nathan was very nice and very friendly and was able to offer nice drink recommendations. Their Manhattan was on point, and MAKE SURE you eat that in-house maraschino at the end that's been marinating in maple syrup and bourbon all day, it's a like a cherry jelly bean. If you are a fan of whiskey's they have quite the extensive list, I think I saw up to 100+ on their list.
Being a fan of Citizens already I already knew to get the Original Chopped Salad which is a must even if you've had it before. Next to come was an off menu Ceviche which is a no-brainer to me as well. (I always get excited to hear about the off menu items) and my girlfriend wanted to try the pistachio and chicken pate. To top off the night again emulating my love for Citizens I got their meatloaf, but the Gladly makes theirs with Duck making for a richer flavor, but absolutely delicious. Needless to say my girlfriend and my eyes may have been a little too big for our stomachs, but still well worth it. The Gladly is definitely up there now on one of my favorite restaurants in Phoenix and I would recommend it to anyone who likes good food and nice drinks (esp. Whiskey-based).
Cheers!
