    We have had back to back bad experiences for the money here. Last time the salmon was very under cooked. This time there was obvious change to the staff who were all new and under trained. Servers could not answer basic questions about the wine or food.. They were very pleasant just not knowledgeable.The food was ok but nowhere close to what the cost of food is. I miss the old Gallagher’s. I believe they’ve bitten off more than they can chew with this new upgraded version..🤷🏼‍♂️

    The last two times we have come in for dinner, the steaks, specifically the baseball sirloins we well under what they had been the other times we have been there. But the staff and ambiance were great.

    We wew there for dinner and the atmosphere on the first floor was very energetic and had a warm inviting feeling. Service and food was great. The bread pudding dessert was better than what you'll find in New Orleans.

    Fantastic, everything was just fabulous. Only thing missing was cranberry sauce, and possibly a small salad. Food was great, plenty of it.

    Thanksgiving is so filled with memories so it is hard to please. Gallagher 's was outstanding. The food on the plate was a skilled balance. Not too sweet, not overcooked, moist and served warm. The wait staff was attentive without hovering. The whole experience was highly rated by everyone at the table. Well done!
