- OTOpenTable Diner1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoHighly recommend! The restaurant is beautiful with a simple elegance. Our server Nathan was fantastic, and other servers we observed and interacted with were great with their tables as well — all were attentive, kind, and friendly. The food was EXCELLENT. Everything we had was just perfect — presentation, temperature, and most importantly, taste. From the cocktails to the salad (roasted beet!) to the entree (salmon!) to dessert. We can’t wait to go back!More infoThe GloriettePrice: Very Expensive• French American• Covington•4.5
- VvmcnealNew Orleans / Louisiana •13 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoMy birthday was extra special at Gallighers. Louis provided outstanding service going over and beyond to make me feel special. The food was amazing! I had sautéed popamno topped with lump crab meat and my husband had soft shell crab which he said was one of the best he’d ever had. With potatoes au gratin. Complimented me with a desert for my birthday. Very nice atmosphere. We love this special place for any special occasion.More infoGallagher's GrillPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Covington•4.9
