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.

We were expecting top choice with Gallagher’s supposed upgrade and the higher price for the meal. We were put at a table in the corner near a doorway. When we inquired about moving they said it was not possible. The food was cold when delivered. We were not satisfied at all.

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!
