    Gallos is so consistently outstanding. The menu has a nice variety to select from ~ everything fresh and homemade. And the nightly specials are also always excellent. The seasoned/experienced staff takes good care of you ~ they really ensure you have a nice experience. The restaurant is always bustling which is a good sign you're at the right place, especially in a city with a plethora of dining options. And I can't end this review without mentioning Tommy Gallo. It's always nice to see the owner walking around, ensuring his customers are having the best experience possible. Well done, Gallos!!!

    Gallos is our “go to” restaurant. The food is always excellent, and the staff go above and beyond. The gumbo alone is with the trip, but the pastas and creole dishes are also excellent. If you haven’t gone, do so soon.

    I was thrilled to snag reservations for Fat Tuesday at Gallos! Always a fun atmosphere and Tuesday was beaming with regulars and newcomers there to enjoy their feast before Lent. I'm not a seafood person but my favorites at Gallos are the Pasta Russo, Gumbo, Filet and the amazing appetizer Buratta with pinenut pesto and tomato confit. Yum!

    We will not be going back. Have eaten there many times over the years but no more. The hostess told us we had 90 minutes. We were still finishing drinks and she came and asked us to leave. Never in my life has that happened.
