Customer Reviews
So was my first time here I was brought here by a friend we had cocktails, appetizers and dinner. The food I have to say was amazing the service not so much our waitress seemed very non-enthusiastic. If you will, I understand everybody has days, the other thing for a place that was not so busy the appetizer and the dinner came out exactly at the same time which is kind of like an unspoken no no at any dinner service nonetheless, the food was very amazing
Highly recommend coming for Porterhouse for 2! Burrata with prosciutto was my favorite appetizer. The creamy spinach is a great side with the steak
EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious. When you first enter you get the pub/tavern feel so I was expecting a good burger vibe. NOPE not at all. I went out on a limb and ordered the fileted Bronzino OMG so yummy. Hubby had pasta with shrimp and he said it was very good. Shrimps were big and plentiful. The sauce was good too. He also had the lobster roll (I believe with shrimp) which he shared was flavorful and filled with each bite. I am SOLD. Wish I took some pictures but I honestly wasn't expecting the food to be THAT good. When I am hungry and I know the food will be good, Galo will see me. Ask for Lorena as your server. She was attentive and welcoming. Glad my friend invited us out. Good spot for casual dining.
I really wanted to like Gallo Tavern 18 and make it a regular go-to spot, but unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectations. The food was okay—slightly above average—but not memorable enough to make up for the lackluster service. The staff only handled the basics: taking our order and serving the food. Beyond that, there was no effort to check on us during the meal. We had to seek them out whenever we needed something, like more drinks, condiments, or utensils. For the price, I expected much better attention and care. It wasn’t a terrible experience, but it wasn’t great either. I was hoping for more, and at this point, I’m not sure I’d return.
This place just opened recently. I went there for lunch and was very pleasantly surprised. I had the lump crab cake appetiser and its one of the best. The crab cake was decent sized, and the accompanying roasted corn salsa was awsome. I had the chilean sea bass for my entree, and cleaned my plate as well. The servers were very friendly and attentive. The place has a the feel of a good old tavern. Dark wood, with some old photos on the wall, and with Christmas decorations throughout. Tables are spaced enough that it was not overwhelmingly noisy and conversations at the table was pretty relaxed. It was a very pleasant experience.
