Let me preface this by saying that I do not write yelp reviews. I'll read em! But typically don't write them up. \n\nTonight was my first time at this establishment but it will by no means be my last! I wish yelp had a 5+ star option. \n\nMy friend and I chose to go here based off rave reviews right here on Yelp! We were a little hesitant at first because we had just come from the gym and were dressed more appropriately for, well... The gym! THANK GOD we didn't decide to go elsewhere! As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a genuinely friendly (hard to find!) hostess as well as Robin (sp?), who I am assuming is the manager. \n\nFrom the minute we were greeted to the moment we left- nothing but AMAZING and friendly service! I ordered the Seared Scallops on a bed of sweet corn grits (FANTASTICAL!!!!) and my friend ended up ordering the Chicken breast on a layering of fingerling potatoes (BOMB!). We had both oohed and awwed over the chopped salad though (which, btw, has it's own FB page! LOL). \n\nRobin and our waiter, in listening to our commentary as we looked over the menu, brought out the chopped salad as our appetizer and said it was compliments of the house and that we both just had to try it! Robin was sweet enough to add in there that it'd help hold us over from our gym session till our entr\u00e9es arrived. (Which it absolutely did!)\n\nOk- not exaggerating by any means here; some of the best tasting, outstanding quality  of food I've had while dining out in A LONG TIME! Plus to top it all off, the service was just as superb as our meals (AND that salad) were! \n\nMy friend and I sat and caught up with one another for about 2 hours and never once did we feel rushed to hit the road. In fact, they were still so great about continually coming by to keep our waters full and to check on us.\n\nMaybe even more so than the food, my dining experiences are determined by the service; at The Gladly, I was entirely impressed with everything! Food, service, decor, ambiance- it was all spectacular! Thank you to the awesome staff, to the chef and to Robin! We'll both be returning multiple times, joined by everyone we know! :) LOL\n\nPlease do yourselves a favor and add The Gladly to your \""Must Try\"" lists!
