Great spot. Food was perfect, especially the raw oysters. Has an old school steakhouse feel too It’s not cheap but it’s also not over the top pricey. Highly recommend it

We’ve dined at Galo about 5 times, and while the food is usually good, last night’s meal was pretty disappointing. The swordfish was awful - it was severely overcooked, and tasted funky. My dining companions were not thrilled with the pork loin and chicken either. Fortunately, the desserts were enjoyable, and the waitress was pleasant. Maybe Galo was just having an off night, but it was definitely not a good meal.

The food was best I’ve had there. My husband’s burger was delicious and so was my salmon. I don’t know why but the mashed potatoes were perfect, creamy and tasteful. Will be dining there again soon.
