Nice place with a nice bar and a lot of variety on their menu. Our server was great and attentive. She gave us excellent recommendations such as a spicy margarita, steaks, lamb chops, and tres leches.

A text with a coupon gave a reason to splurge a little. Date night and Girls night back to back! If bread and butter is your weakness you're in trouble lol! Glazed salmon, short ribs, grilled Branzino, pasta torano, farm salad, grilled basil chicken sandwich! All delicious! There's a bar and weekday happy hour.

Tried this place for the 1st time enjoying a lunch date with Hubby. Ambiance is great. Very nice decor and a little romantic. Bar area is nice and seemed to keep customers coming. Service was good. Staff was friendly. The complimentary bread and butter was good but quickly started to get hard. Not sure why. For drinks, I ordered the strawberry lemonade mojito which was very good but I wish I could taste the alcohol. Hubby had a Docs cider which he liked because it wasnt as sweet as some others. We ordered calamari as an appetizer. So delicious. It comes with 2 sauces and both were good. For entrees I had the pork tenderloins with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli and carrots. The mashed potatoes are FIRE!!! Hubby had the Tavern burger with sweet potato fries. He enjoyed them along with some of my mash. The portions were worth the money. Overall everything was excellent. We will definitely be returning.

We went to this restaurant on the right night! Went here for my dad's birthday and I was definitely craving steak. Lucky for me, we went on a Thursday where they have steak night, in which select steaks are 50% off. My brother and I ended up splitting the 42oz porterhouse between us which would have been $120 but instead was $60 because of the discount. Totally worth it! The complimentary bread they give is also delicious. Only thing is the appetizers could have had larger potions.

7/27/24 Walked in around 6pm and was seated quickly. Bread (pillowy buttery goodness) and water were served. Ordered the fried calamari (added chili peppers) well done, and it was very good. For mains, we had the lamb chops and skirt steak. While the skirt was tasty (heavy on the pepper), the lamb chops were delicious. Side of port wine reduction pairs well also. Food 4 stars. Portions on the smaller side, especially for the price. Recommend the lamb chops. Happy hour and daily specials too. Service 3 stars. Nice but not 100% attentive, Ambience 4 stars. Dark steakhouse vibe.

The food at Galo Tavern is fine. The menu features a lot of good offerings. I had the baby back ribs with sweet potato bries. The flavor of the ribs were on point and the sweet potato fries had a bit of a crunch to them. The service on the other had , although friendly, was slow. Our waitress was pleasant, however, in the later stages took long to get dessert menus, coffee, and to get the bill. This of course would be understandable if the restaurant was packed with patrons. This was not the case, it was empty. The decor features expose beams and a slightly upscale atmosphere. We were very comfortable where we sat, which helped to us content.
