I was shocked to read so many average to poor reviews. Both my husband and myself have been in the restaurant business for decades and this restaurant is for real top notch! We both had the prime rib, which was immense, and we ate til we had to unbutton the tops if our pants! Cooked a perfect medium, medium-rare... Excellent! Can't wait to go back!

Somebody once told me: you cannot have a bad meal in New York: Forgot to mention "Excluding Gallaghers" It takes effort to ruin perfectly good steak and if you voice your discontent it is almost expected. Made mistake to order sauce bernaise which arrived on my table streight from refridgerator - COLD.and the list goes on. Bottom line:STAY AWAY

The steaks were mediocre and the service was slow and unattentive. The waiter was more interested in watching soccer on TV than on helping his customers. When my wife mentioned the steak was tough and gristly, the waiter said it was because she had it cooked medium well and walked away. He did not have a response to why mine was the same way and cooked medium rare.

We went in at a quiet time; pretty good service. The steaks were cremated! You could tell the meat was good but ordered medium and came completely grey, dry, burned. We had no time to send back and the waiter kindly comped drinks and dessert and seemed to care about the lousy cooking. Generous drinks, vegetables good, cheesecake glorious. Perhaps just a bad day in the kitchen.

This place has mediocre steaks, average service, and is very noisy with tables almost on top of each other! They have ridiculous prices compared to the product and service they provide. For the prices they charge I expect my steak to be cooked the way I ordered it and not have to send it back because it was almost raw! I guess I sould have checked some of the previous reviews instead of relying on Gallagher's hyped reputation!

Gallagher's is a classic NY steakhouse -- a little careworn, a little brusque, but ultimately much more rewarding than the more sanitized, sleeker newer places.

There are dozens of better steakhouses in this city. Many within blocks of this place. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.
