Editorial Review for Gallagher's Steakhouse at New York-New York – by John Curtas
In Short
Located in the Strip's Big Apple, this clone of the original establishment on 52nd Street in Manhattan is a passable re-creation of the macho, clubby original that practically invented the whole genre of urban steakhouses in 1927. Back then, they doubled as speakeasies, now they don't have to. Well-chosen, aged steaks and some excellent grilled seafood are still the order of the day. All are cooked with skill.

Looked good, seated quickly without a reservation (turns out there is a reason for that) but the tables are poorly arranged making for seating more suitable to a greasy spoon than a fine dining establishment. Prices are high but they make that clear by posting the menu outside. The prices are so high that it is clearthe restaurant wants to be compared to the finest restaurants. Waiter was insulting but I let that slide as I really wanted to have a good time, but he then served the lamb raw (not undercooked but cold and raw) and the salmon over cooked (which I actually like but not acceptable). He then insulted us when I called him over. Before I said anything he said "Is the lamb a little undercooked for you" (understand that it was clearly raw). Insults continued but damn I wanted a nice evening so tried to make the best of it. All insults were done with a smile. No apology for the poor food and at one point the waiter suggested we would still have to pay for the lamb. We did end up paying for what we had eaten. Not all the staff was as bad although the bar tender was rather short with me when I asked a question. To make it clear we were dressed OK (I didn't have my tux on but neither did anyone else) and were polite, too polite actually, had not been drinking and are naturally a quiet couple. This is a low class place that laughs at tourists. No self respecting kitchen would serve raw lamb and over cooked salmon. Serious management issues (staff not happy), health issues (serving raw food), Kitchen out of control (two major and obvious errors) and grossly overpriced for the product. I cannot recommend Gallaghers. There are much better options. My name is Jeff Brown and this was the evening of July 17 2007
Pros: Location
Cons: Staff has poor attitude, Kitchen unhealthly

Make reservations, this place fills up. I came here on a Wednesday evening at 5:30 and the place was already three quarters full. I agree with another reviewer who said the shrimp cocktail is absolutely devine. You MUST get this as a starter. I ordered the prime rib cooked rare and it came out perfectly. This place serves dishes a la carte, but the side dishes are large enough to serve three people. Our waiter was nice, although by the time he noticed my wine glass was empty, our meal was pretty much over so it wasn't worth getting another glass at that point. But the "water boy" did a fantastic job in keeping our water glasses constantly filled. Plus he was very unobtrusive so we didn't even notice half the time when he poured us refills. Overall this restaurant was a good experience.
Pros: Great food
Cons: waiter was nice but didn't check back on us often enough
