    It was a wonderful Luncheon with friends. It was relatively quiet so we were able to talk. Food was high quality and perfectly seasoned. Good, unobtrusive service. Would definitely go back.

    Everything was amazing about the restaurant; the history, food, wine, service, and ambience. We were celebrating our third marriage anniversary and it was the best one yet thanks to Gandy Dancer. We will be back!

    We had a lovely dining experience from beginning to end. Our waiter, Jeremy, was gracious and personable. Everyone in our party of six was happy with their meals and the ambiance was quietly festive as usual.

    It is always a treat to dine at the Gandy. The food is always amazing and the service is excellent. Parking during busy times can be a bit challenging with the waiting times for the Valet but it’s part of the whole experience. It’s a favorite place for my family and a special place for celebrations. Had a wonderful time on my birthday at the Gandy.
