| - My third 5-star dining experience in a row in Las Vegas was here, during my first visit to Gallagher's. My group of four was quickly seated in a quickly filling dining room after we arrived for our dinner reservation, and I immediately went to work sampling attractive menu offerings.
A Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail sported excellent meaty shrimp accompanied by a zesty horseradish-based sauce. Next was an equally tasty Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing that contained large chunks of bacon and Red Grapes. Paired with the salad was a complimentary Bread Basket that held a Baguette, Olive Bread, and Sourdough Ciabatta that was just sour enough.
Next up for me was a Center Cut Filet Mignon with Wild Mushroom Sauce, Brandy Peppercorn Sauce, and Béarnaise Sauce along with a Colossal Baked Potato that was truly huge in size. and enhanced by add-ons of bacon and chives, while Diane enjoyed bacon and cheddar cheese with her giant spud. The potato was cooked perfectly, and my 8 oz. steak was buttery, flavorful, and perfectly medium rare. All of the sauces went very well with the meat. I left no leftovers on my plate. But Diane could not finish her 14 oz. New York Strip. When it was boxed, the remaining Sourdough Ciabatta went with it!.
The food here was expensive but worth it. Surf & Turf was running $125. Service was very good, and caring. And the ambiance deep in the bowels of New York New York was that of a clubby classic steakhouse.
