| - Like at many places with big menus, I think the trick to Gullifty's is figuring out which items on the menu are the best.
I split an appetizer of soft pretzels with cheese sauce off the Oktoberfest menu, and then ordered The Bomb for dessert. The pretzel was fine, though probably not homemade, and the cheese sauce had a little too much alcohol in it. The Bomb was a slice of chocolate cake with a single thick layer of chocolate mousse in the middle. The cake seemed a touch dry. I tasted my friends' 5th Dimension cake, another chocolate dessert, and it definitely topped The Bomb. They were also very happy with the Oktoberfest appetizer they ordered, the sauerkraut balls, but I didn't try that.
So go for the 5th Dimension, because The Bomb is not, well, da bomb. (Sorry, I had to do that).
The service was fine for our large group. The waitress dealt with our disorganization good-humoredly. The timing of the dishes could have been better coordinated--our appetizers came at the same time as dessert, which posed an issue for people who had a la mode dishes, and one friend didn't get her salad until a while after everyone else got their apps and dessert. To be fair, though, we didn't specify that we wanted our desserts after the rest of our order.
I'd say that this is a good place to go with a large group of dessert-minded people who like sharing, because you'll more likely than not to find a favorite. There's also plenty of space for big groups.
