Food and service always on point. We were so kindly asked if we could move to the next table over a few minutes after we placed our order so to accommodate a larger group as the place was hopping. We did not mind. We were offered a nice bread basket and deviled eggs which were so delicious. Nice touch.

Riley our server was exceptional. Duck breast was tender and the polenta was the smoothest I ever had. Steak tartare with quail egg was the best I have ever had. We can’t wait to go back.

We have been patronizing Gulliftys for decades…and in this day and age isn’t it nice to have a place where you can just go, meet friends and family or just grab a bite with your spouse! It’s casual and consistent! The staff from the front of the house to the back always friendly and competent. (Also a constant) The food is always fresh and actually homemade down to the everything and classic yet interesting. There is something for everyone and it’s always a “yes” when a group gets together! Thank you Gulliftys for being YOU! Keep it going!:)
