Absolutely excellent dinner. The Sunday chicken was very good. The have really raised the bar on everything from the chicken to the biscuits and side dishes. All drastically improved. The service was exceptional. Can’t wait to try the regular menu items.

We have had back to back bad experiences for the money here. Last time the salmon was very under cooked. This time there was obvious change to the staff who were all new and under trained. Servers could not answer basic questions about the wine or food.. They were very pleasant just not knowledgeable.The food was ok but nowhere close to what the cost of food is. I miss the old Gallagher’s. I believe they’ve bitten off more than they can chew with this new upgraded version..🤷🏼‍♂️

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.

Fantastic, everything was just fabulous. Only thing missing was cranberry sauce, and possibly a small salad. Food was great, plenty of it.
