"Now, about the food – it was absolutely amazing! I loved the wings (peek gai tod) and the dumplings (kanom jeeb). I ordered the panang curry, and it was truly life-changing; definitely the best curry I've ever had. My boyfriend enjoyed his pad Thai as well. I also had a drink that was cute but quite strong. He really liked the bread pudding dessert, although I wasn't a fan. As for the service, it was exceptional. Everyone was super friendly and offered great dish recommendations, creating a very authentic experience. The atmosphere was delightful, with perfect lighting and chill hop music setting the mood. The themed decor added to the overall vibe. One thing to note is the parking situation; the lot is quite small, and there are signs at nearby businesses indicating you shouldn't park there unless you're a customer. However, street parking is available just a block away."

"Best tiki bar in Phoenix!!!! The immersive experience is second to none in Phx. Drinks are phenomenal, service is prompt, and it lives up to the tall expectations. You will spend 100 dollars per person (all up) if you do it right and Uber home. But it 's worth every penny! The only thing that would make it more magical is if ownership installed two or three gimmick props that were actionable. Example: a mechanical parrot that says drink up or a skull on the wall that has a motion sensor that says watch out for the Scorpion bowl! Still though....fantastic experience. Oh tip! If you are big/fat, the porthole seats are not comfortable. You will need a bar seat so book ahead and request the bar not the portholes"

"Oh my goodness. I decided to try the top desserts at this restaurant and they all surpassed my expectations! The sweetness level, texture, and overall taste of the dulce de leche, oreo, and key lime desserts were perfect!! They were not too dense, making it easy to devour a whole slice without even realizing it. I couldn't put down my fork, they were that delicious. I definitely plan on bringing some back home!! Ordering a sampler dessert tray with three different types (unfortunately only for myself on a work trip) was a fantastic treat!"

"This review needs a lot of clarification because we love the jazz night Thursday 7-8:30pm. However it is the worst managed affair and hasn’t changed in over a year or more. Our server was nice but whatever process they have to go through to get a drink order filled takes 20-30 minutes. Food takes even longer. When other staff comes with the drinks or food they take it to the wrong table then circle around or put it in front of the wrong guest! This is NOT a rare occurrence. They finally lit all the new cheap table candles with their thread width wicks and they all promptly burned out. One server got new candles for his three tables but the rest of the room got none. We ordered two drinks at once because we know getting second service is rare. For food I ordered their Boudin Blanc listed as Foie Gras, duck breast, parsnip purée and jus. Listed as an appetizer I expected a tiny portion of each item. What it really is, is a white (mostly parsnip) 3” quennelle shaped mousse of the ingredients. I suppose as it’s called a boudin I should have realized that, but I was sitting in the dark. The jazz starts at 7 and lasts 90 minutes. They didn’t start seating last night until 6:55pm (sometimes earlier it’s not consistent). This results in getting your drink 20 minutes or more after the jazz starts and the crazy service dance lasting all the way through the performance. There has to be a better way to handle these nights. You’d at least expect them to have table numbers and seat positions so when the drinks and food come they end up with the right person at the right table. And get quality fake candles, the servers have enough to do. On a positive note the room is lovely and intimate and when Nicole Pesce is playing piano, the jazz is wonderful though the sax was a little louder than usual last night. Also management called when my friend left her credit card so we could return to pick it up. He met us at valet, a professional touch. We keep hoping for improvement."

"We had an incredible dining experience at the Gladly. I took my sister and brother to celebrate their birthdays, and our server, who I believe was named Amy, was outstanding. She was sweet, kind, and incredibly attentive. The food was, as always, fantastic and arrived quickly. I highly recommend this restaurant!"
