Dinner at Gazala's was terrific and our server, Bryan, was super friendly, helpful and generous. It was a quiet night (very cold outside, which likely kept most people home) so it was quiet and very comfortable. The food was interesting and delicious, the prices were reasonable and the portions very large (we took a lot of food home).
