| - I had never heard of Gallagher's and in all honesty didn't even look at my trusty Yelp to find it. I needed a steakhouse before Coldplay concert and they were the closest, so I booked reservations and we showed up blind.
Best blind choice I have made. It is not an overly large steakhouse, has a more intimate setting, the staff are AMAZING and the food was fabulous. There were 4 of us and we ordered for appetizers the seared ahi tuna with melon and the calamari. The calamari has to be one of the best calamari I have ever had. Cooked perfectly, a lot of flavor and still so tender. I didn't even need the dipping sauce, it was too good on its own. The seared ahi was prepared perfectly and the blend of flavors with the ripe melon and salad was excellent. It was light and tasty and perfect for summer.
For our main courses we ordered the New York Strip (thickest strip I have ever seen), The porterhouse (very generous), filet mignon and king crab legs. EVERYONE cleared their plates, my son helped me with the crab, because the order was just too much for me, but they were SO good.
Our side dishes were the onion rings, the special that night: bacon cheddar mashed potatoes and asparagus. Everything was very good, but the mashed potatoes.. WOW, I could have made that my meal and have been very happy with it.
I rarely note drinks, but the drinks here was especially good and worth browsing. I had the cucumber martini without simple syrup and that was delicious, refreshing and just plain good.
This has been added to our Vegas rotation. It is a must return to restaurant.
