    It wasn’t our best experience at Gallo’s, but some of the blame has to be shared with our party. We were indecisive and over ordered on appetizers, making our entrees less enjoyable. We took home 4 boxes which is never a good sign. It’s a great spot and has a unique and tasty menu.

    The pasta was under seasoned and the added seasonal vegetable —asparagus—was minimal. That being said my husband loved his entree and the vibe is always fun. Kind of disappointed that they didn’t acknowledge my husband’s birthday even though it was noted on our reservation.

    We always enjoy dinner at Gallo’s Kitchen and tonight was no exception. It’s the best Cajun restaurant in the city. The atmosphere and service are always top notch

    Great restaurant. The only issue we ever have at Gallo’s is the noise level. You have to shout to be heard.

    Gallo's Kitchen seems like a great neighborhood bar. It was too noisy for us. 3 couples - none of us had been there before. We couldn't hear each other at all without shouting and then it was still difficult. Food was OK. I had a caesar salad. I have never had a caesar salad that had an oil and vinegar dressing, 3 croutons, and did not enjoy it at all. The only good thing of the evening was the service. Our server was great.

    The food at Gallo’s is consistently wonderful. There is good variety and the combination of Italian and Creole is unique. The service is always great and the servers are friendly and knowledgeable. A great place for a casual dinner or to celebrate an event.
