we love the vibe, service and menu at GLK on Grand and have been going there for years. On our last visit we were surprised by how salty the food was. I think the cooks are overly generous with salt. Both our brussel sprouts and the scallops were really over salted. Next visit we will be sure to order low/no salt, and send back anything that's too salty.
In town for the weekend and this lovely spot was recommended by a good friend. He was not wrong. Excellent service, excellent food, excellent atmosphere. Chelsea was my server and she rocked it. 100% recommend
I’m letting this place become my Sunday brunch spot!! Cecilia Miller
