Gallagher's did not disappoint again. The food was spot on and servings were filling. The service was great and timely. Our reservation was at 630pm and we were finished dining and were walking out by 830pm for a part if 3. We love our dining experiences and they should take two hours or more sometimes if you are at a location like gallagher's. If you want fast there are plenty of options out there. There are also several value items, if you are not looking for a $50 steak(which is not a bad price as well). Keep it up Team Gallagher.

I have always had good experiences before. Tonight just was not quite as good as it has been in the past. My friend asked for a glass of wine once we received our food. She didn’t get the wine until we were done eating. Then we were never offered desert. There was a large wedding party on the third floor and I think it just disrupted the normally good service.
