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.

After hearing so much about this famous steak house myself and my partner decided it woul be the perfect place to go before a show.... was i wrong! when we arrived the restaurant was bright and lacking in atmosphere. Starters which were very average arrived almost immediatly, and then our staeks were thrown on top of us just after finishing our starters.We ordered sirloin and while the portion was huge the quality was not good. We were rushed over our meal the whole time and the only time the staff were nice was when when they were looking for a tip! save your money,theres so much less expensive great places in new york , the only area this restaurant suceeded in was topping up our iced water!

My fiance and I went to this place Saturday night around 6:40PM. We were just looking for a place to dine prior to going to a show nearby. We were seated right away, and got out drinks immediately, but it was down hill from there. The food was definitely overpriced, the chicken was poor, the steak was alright. As for the service, after we got our food, we were completely ignored. If we didn't get up to tell the manager that we waited at least 30 minutes for the waiter to attend to us, after we finished eating, we'd still be sitting there. The best part was, another waiter came and get our food. Our original waiter came with the check and hinted that he wanted a tip. Well, for the first time in my life I didn't tip someone. Just remember, TIPS stands for "To Insure Prompt Service"! I always tipped prior to last night. Definitely not going there again, and I'm telling everyone I know not to go to that place.
