Profile

This theater district steakhouse exudes Old Time New York, from the massive raw-meat window displays to the convivial bar and the wood-paneled dining rooms. Dry-aged prime steak is the way to go here, but you can't go wrong with prime rib, lobster, or the sublime chopped steak either. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Lunch Special

Daily, noon—3 p.m., three courses for $24.06

Recommended Dishes

Chopped steak, $24; prime rib, $43; Maine lobster, market price

What a major disappointment!! I wasted a hundred bucks. It was our 44th anniversary, dinner followed by "Billy Elliott." When I made reservations, I said it was our anniversary. It went ignored. I'll never go back to Gallaghers again. We were barely greeted by a maitre'd, who acted as though we were bothering him. No smile. Tried to seat us in the bar. We said, no, the back room, which was almost empty. He seemed offended. My steak was small, tough. The service was lousy. The maitre'd should be working as a bouncer at a dance club. The steaks were laughable. Stay away from this place. Fast food is preferable. Gallagher's is living off its name. By the way, "Billy Elliott" was terrific.

If only I had read previous reviews in this magazine . . .

. . . I would not have had to endure the horror that was Black Friday at Gallaghers. Food was poor to mediocre. My companion ordered the Rib Eye and I ordered the Chef Special steak. Fat and grisle were more than one would expect on a $40 - $50 steak. Service from our waiter was fair, but we had to remind him that we were ready to order. The other fellows in suits had this "grumpy old man" aesthetic and the room temperatue was uncomfortably hot. This was topped off by Rumplestilskin (this dude was barely walking; he should not be working in such a busy restaurant) messing up the credit card payments so that I got charged twice. The business manager has assured me that the charges will be removed, but I will believe it when I see it. The non-wait staff were pleasant and if not for them, I would have rated the service a 1 instead of 2.
