Galliford's Restaurant & Tavern

I was not expecting what my family and I received. Great food, a great atmosphere/ view, and professionalism. The service was more than great. If anyone goes here, you MUST try the firecracker shrimp. I posted a picture of a single portion so you can see the details and how big it is. It was delicious! Everything else we ordered was great. I ordered the garlic and lime pork chops and loved it. I have a family of 5 and the bill was more than reasonable. We reserved a spot and walked around the Zoo until our time came.

🌟 A Dining Adventure Strong with the Force 🌟 From the moment we arrived, the staff impressed us with their friendliness and attentiveness. Great service they provided—quick with refills, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely welcoming. Reasonable the prices were, especially considering the quality and portions of the food. A rare balance of value and experience, strong in this place it is. ✨ Appetizers Worthy of a Jedi Council The cauliflower “wings” were golden and crispy, with dipping sauces that brought balance between light and dark (mild and spicy). The sautéed mussels, bathed in garlic butter with a splash of tomato and wine, felt like a treat straight from the sea—perfectly paired with toasted bread to soak up the broth. 🍕 Main Courses that Conquered the Table The Tree Hugg

This was our second time here and both times were great experiences. Brynn was our server and she was also bartending.. she was very attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. I had the fried pickles, and salmon, my husband had a pizza with Alfredo sauce, prosciutto, and roasted red peppers, and our little guy had the chicken tenders, fries, Mac n cheese, and sliced cucumbers. The espresso martini was also delicious.

This place was an amazing break from the heat and crowds of the Southwick Zoo. The food and service were quality. Access: You can access the restaurant from the zoo (with a re-reentry stamp) or without visiting the zoo through the main entrance. Entering from the zoo there are both stair and elevator options. We were even able to exit out the front - put our leftovers in the car - then re-enter the zoo through the restaurant. Which was amazing because we did not have to carry our leftovers with us. Parking: There is a lot in front of the restaurant and another large lot adjacent from the restaurant/zoo. The only reason I gave the atmosphere a 4 was due to large amount of families with tired small children, as to be expected from its proximity to the zoo on a hot summer day. Staff: The staf

Stopped by for lunch today and were surprised to be the only ones in the restaurant. But, I wasn’t sad about it because we had first dibs on the patio that overlooked the petting zoo. The waiter came over promptly. He was very nice and provided a great experience. The food itself was excellent. The fun-ghi pizza was flavorful along with being nice and crispy. I highly recommend. The significant other had their fish tacos and the portion was generous. I highly recommend and would come back again! Their entrees are expensive but for lunch I thought it was more than reasonable.
