Best Contemporary American Restaurants in West Phoenix

Everything was great. I didn't realize there was an 18% service charge because it was Christmas; I didn't recall seeing anything in Open Table when I booked the reservation. The folks at the table next to me weren't aware of the 18% service charge either. That didn't include gratuity (tip for the server)! Add that to over 20% tip and it's 40% added to the price of the dinner, which adds a lot. Makes for a surprise amount when you weren't aware!!

This was our first visit The Gladly, and it was on Christmas Eve. We made a reservation… And it’s a good thing that we did because they were very busy. From the minute, we walked in through the entire meal the vibe throughout the restaurant was very upbeat and professional. But people really seem to be having a lot of fun. Our server Liz was a phenomenal. We made it in time for a couple happy hour drinks and appetizers, which were excellent. We also bought the ice ball and Liz demonstrated how they make them and explained the whole process to us. It was very interesting. A portion of the cost for the ice ball was donated to their charity for the month. Three of our party got the special for the evening and I got the salmon. The portions were large, super tasty and well prepared. A couple of us ended up, taking home a doggy bag. This was our first visit… But it will definitely not be our last. We were quite impressed with the restaurant, as well as the employees. In addition, one of the main reasons we chose the restaurant is because they do a great job with offering gluten free items. This is extremely important to us as my daughter has Celiacs. We would definitely recommend this for a special occasion, or just to hang out with friends.

Absolutely perfect. My boyfriend and I are visiting from California and I wanted to bring him somewhere memorable for his birthday…this place made the cut!! We love the ambiance of the sultry atmosphere but even greater than that was the thoughtful and expertly orchestrated plates. Our server was so wonderful also. She was extremely knowledgeable and offered amazing suggestions. Couldn’t be happier! Highly recommend!!

We arrived the host assisted me up the stairs a complete gentleman. We began inside and decided we wanted to be outside. And we were accommodated, we were relocated to a lovely table. There was a beautiful and talented violinist playing, he played so wonderfully. All ambients were warm and inviting. Dinner was mouthwatering it was an amazing experience.

Such a festive outdoor setting with wonderful food and drinks. We started with drinks at Sidecar and then moved over to the beer garden tables outside for dinner. It was great for our larger group of 7. We love the whole experience.
