Gloria: A Pescatarian Haven in Hell's Kitchen, New York City

Gloria, a popular upscale-casual restaurant in Hell's Kitchen, New York City, opened its doors in March 2017. Named after Chef Diego Garcia's mother, the restaurant is located in a building that once served as a peanut factory from the 1910s.

The interior of Gloria is designed to be intimate and welcoming, offering a perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. Chef Garcia, along with Phil Johnson and Leland Meibeyer, teamed up in 2015 to bring this unique dining concept to life. Their mission is to make food and wine enjoyable and accessible for everyone, while maintaining an elevated sense of affordable and organic food for the masses.

The menu at Gloria is a delightful fusion of Mexican and Californian cuisine, reflecting Chef Garcia's roots. Guest favorites include the octopus with black rice and whole shrimp with hominy. The menu is constantly being updated to reflect the seasons, ensuring a fresh and diverse selection for diners.

The restaurant prides itself on its sustainable fish menu, with Chef Garcia's ultimate meal being whole fish cooked over open fire, served with cucumber, tomato, cilantro, and lime. The wines served at Gloria are natural and come from selections in Napa and France, adding a sophisticated touch to the dining experience.

Gloria has become a go-to for the neighborhood locals, with the team taking pride in serving them. The restaurant is located in the same neighbourhood as Casa Lula, The Meatball Shop, and As Is, a craft beer bar, making it a perfect addition to the vibrant dining scene.

While the team behind Gloria has not expressed any plans to open more restaurants that follow the same name pattern, they might consider naming future establishments after their mothers, as suggested by Chef Garcia. For now, Gloria remains a beloved destination for those seeking a unique and delicious dining experience in Hell's Kitchen, New York City.

The team also recommends their beans with sparkling rose and mezcal, a perfect pairing to complement your meal at Gloria. Whether you're a local or a visitor, a regular or a first-timer, Gloria offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it a must-visit destination in the heart of New York City.
