   GL was an awesome experience. From the time walked in my and wife and knew it was going to be a vibe. The ambience, the service, servers and the food - OMG. Had the opportunity to talk the chefs as they checked on us. GL chefs and crew thank you for great evening. Definitely recommend and will make my way back there soon.

   Took an associate as a “date” to go undercover and review. First and foremost I want to say, the ambiance, seating and service were all impeccable. They were welcoming, cozy, great. Now the issue moved on to the food and drinks. Ordered a whiskey sour (which wasn’t bad considering the bartender delivered them and informed me he used the last of my preferred whiskey) my dates drink was like a pink lady or something of the sort. Did not match the description, it battled itself within that glass between the strawberry, pineapple and chocolate. Its identity was akin to John from “Split” to be honest. Tried another drink, not memorable at all. In the end my associate settled for a Shirley temple. For appetizer, we went with the crispy squid. The dish was fun to look at it, the squid was actually perfectly cooked, however we both stared at it for a minute agreeing that “instructions were unclear” due to the fact that the architecture of the dish was two levels and we weren’t informed we could eat below the blue disk in the bowl which looked plastic. Still a fun dish, but would’ve been nice to have known before digging in. Mains: I opted to try their duck confit, with my associate going for the seafood parppadelle. The duck was bland, there was no makeup or jewelry or perfume for that matter, which isn’t an issue when it comes to duck. My problem with it, however, was that the duck didn’t even have any clothes on. Not a hint of flavor or seasonings. It didn’t appeal in the plate either. I could only taste what I assumed was the steel of the frying pan and residual grease kept behind to be drizzled over it. For the seafood parppadelle, it looked fun. That’s all I can say. My associate was displeased so much, that I offered to switch dishes, which she agreed and ended up finishing the Duck. She exclaimed that the duck had more flavor, ironically, than the seafood parppadelle and I must concur. The parpadelle was 90% cooked, mussels and shrimp lacked flavor. Overall 5/10

   Each member of the staff was excellent with great hospitality skills. Our meal was exceptional. We travel often and eat at many nice restaurants. This is truly one of the very best restaurants in Norfolk,.

   Drinks are quite small. Soup was great. Burrata salad was also. My husband’s burger was tasty. Fries also! My eggplant dish was not good at all. Veggies were lukewarm and not cooked well. The Eggplant was so mushy. They did take it off the bill. Waiter was good but busy.

   We live dining here! It feels like we’re out in New York City, but still home in Norfolk

   First time and our dinner exceeded our expectations! The Executive Chef came to our table to welcome us and assist us with our menu choice. The service was first class and the bonus was to view the incredible glass museum inside the Hotel, after dinner.

   Food was delicious, along with the wine and cocktails ordered. We sampled the menu extensively. Everything was enjoyable. Ren was our server, she was efficient and managed our large party well (group of 7), and it was great to see good team work with the manager, Darryl, who was helping his team. Darryl checked on our table too, took our additional orders and was able to secure our table request for our group (called ahead). Thank you for another incredible evening, our group had an awesome evening celebrating a birthday at a great spot downtown!

    It was a quiet, pleasant dining experience: amazing chefs, staff, and great food. I recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely fine dining experience in Norfolk.
