Best Global Restaurants in Central Phoenix

When you walk through the gates you feel like you’re in Europe. We were immediately greeted upon walking in. Once seated we were quickly given menus and met our servers. They went through the menus (wine, cocktail, caviar, and the different courses) with great detail. We chose 2 cocktails and the four courses. My partner and I ordered all the courses so we could try everything. I chose the rack of lamb and he chose the surf and turf as the final course. Everything was fantastic. The dishes were cooked to perfection and packed with unique flavors. We finished off with the pear creme brûlée for dessert, which was very good, but the four course meal was definitely the star of the show. We had a wonderful evening, and we would highly recommend for a special occasion to treat yourself at Cafe Monarch.

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.

Excellent experience from all perspectives. Attractive setting, wonderful service and most importantly, excellent food. I would highly recommend the Branzino- it was expertly prepared with a unique and delicious flavor profile; one of the most enjoyable entrees I have had in years.

Beautiful Anniversary Dinner! Food was amazing. Thanks for making this occasion special.

Amazing experience from start to finish. If you have found yourself even slightly pondering if you should go, you absolutely must!
