A jewel box of a restaurant! I heard good things about The Gladly, so we decided to meet friends for dinner there last night. Until we arrived, I did not realize they had taken over the old Ruth Chris space. I did know that it was the sister restaurant of Citizen Public House, so I had high expectations.
As the hostess escorted us, past THE AMAZING LOOKING BAR, I wanted to yell, "Wait, let's just hang out there!" But arriving at our table, I was not disappointed. The elevated dining room gives a feeling of privacy, but still allows it's diners to check out what is going on around them.
Cocktails last night were Negroni's On Tap, followed by a bottle of Hearst Ranch Petite Sirah, suggested by our waiter, Tim, and all was good in the world. Of course, we ordered a couple of The Original Chopped Salads to share. Three orders of Pan Seared Scallops (incredibly sweet and bacon-y) and one order of Coffee Charred Short Ribs, we were an incredibly happy table of diners. An Apple Tartlet and Buttermilk Bread Pudding for dessert was just over the top.
I appreciate that the menu indicates Gluten Free items and was able to help with a dairy intolerance substitution. All around a great meal and a fun evening. We will be back!
