Gallo's on High

Came here for dinner for four last week. We found the dining room very comfortable and the decor was a neighborhood chic type of vibe. This is the kind of place that is fancy casual all at the same time. Staff did an amazing job at accommodating my 84 yr old mother who is handicapped. They serve complimentary bread that is just amazing. We got pizza, beef bolognese, the white lace salad and the chicken caesar. Everything was excellent... except the pizza. We were not a fan of that. It was a bit undercooked to our liking.

We love Gallo's, they served good food and have good service all the time.I always get Calamari and Tuna salad, my husband always change but his favorite was the fish!Last time we were there he ordered burger but he got chicken sandwich instead.......It would be nice if they also get great butter that come with their bread!

3.50% credit card fee. Food was good and glad we dined here but was just ok. The staff were great and super friendly from the hostess to our server. Nice atmosphere but tables were cramped. Four of us dinned tonight and the experience was nice but could use improvement. Dishes came out of in batches as if their timing was off. Two of us had our dinner plates and the other two had to wait a bit so we sat there until all plates arrived and they hadn't cleared the finished app dishes on the cramps table. This happed with dessert and drinks too. Back to the dishes, they sat on the table forever and we had to hand off menus and empty dishes and ask if they could take them away.For the price point I would expect better service but again the food was good and looked pretty but just was average. Highlighting everyone was friendly and pitching in for each other so it wasn't that bad, just ok.To mention again, they have a 3.50% credit card fee added to the bill. I hate when business do this in general and do not make you aware verbally. Just bad taste. This is a higher price point restaurant and not a small business vendor. Very offsetting to me. Personally, I would prefer no fee or a set dollar amount. All in all, It was ok and nice to try out but so many other restaurants in Columbus so will just consider this marked off my list.

I have heard many great things about this locally owned spot. I wanted to try it in particular because I'm on the search for the restaurant which does the best bolognese sauce. We both ordered the bolognese pasta. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu, even though we still stuck to our original order. It was quite busy when we came on a weekday evening, they were doing brisk business with plenty of customers there which is always a good sign. In terms of the sauce, it was good. I don't believe they use any wine in it, and it probably takes a couple hours to make, not simmered all day. I would come here again and try other things on the menu.

Looking for a good meal in a lively atmosphere? Try Gallo's on high. Dined here this evening with a group of around 20 people. We had reservations so seating was not an issue. We were scattered out at four different tables, which was fine for us. The service was decent considering they shorted themselves on staffing, but I felt they were able to overcome it. I saw five or six different attendance at our table throughout the evening. Rather that was bringing meals or drink refills. I felt they did a good job. I didn't hear any complaints about the food and I enjoyed my three pig pizza. They had TVs on the back wall by the bar playing sporting events. The place was fairly full for a Tuesday evening, which did make it a little loud, however, we were still able to have conversation at our tables. Definitely give it a try if you're in the area.

We've rotated Gallo into THE place to go when we are on this end of town. The restaurant is casually elegant with beautiful artwork. Bread with an olive oild and balsamic oil dip is part of your dining experience. Delicious!The regular menu features small plantes, sandwiches, pizza, steak, seafood, chicken and pasta.But the specials menu is where I order. Their Grouper is spectacular but today I had the Monk Fish and it was phenomenal! Hubby orders the burger every time. Juicy, 1/2 pound, Angus Beef. Served with hand cut fries. Deserts are available on the specials menu but I'm never save room.

I REALLY wanted this place to be good, because all of the other Gallo's restaurants in Columbus are fantastic. There are few upscale-but-comfy restaurants in this part of Clintonville, but Gallo's looks the part: the ambiance is good and it's clearly doing well in the neighborhood.But the food is truly unimpressive. My husband's burger was unforgivably overdone, bland, and rested on stale buns. My son's pasta was mushy. The hostess was quite nice and friendly, but our server was . . . grumpy.Sigh. Doubt we'll be back again.

Have been back to Gallos a few times, always pretty good. Brought my boyfriend late one evening for the first time, he got the Chicken Parmesan sandwich which he really liked, though he didn't like the Mayo on it, he said he'd get it without next time (it's saucy enough). I got the scallops risotto and it was great. However, the star of the show were the French fries. He said they were the best fries he's had. And it's a cute place inside, outside patio, great service, good deals and specials. Definitely will be back again.

I have never been to a Gallo's before, but went a couple of weeks ago for a friends birthday dinner. There is a parking lot in the back, but it's shared, and can get full at dinner hour. I found a spot, but the lot seemed fuller when I left.My friends and I were scrambling to find a place that could accommodate 16 people on a Friday night with only a couple of days of notice, and Gallo's on High came through.The service was great-- I cant remember our servers name, but they paid a lot of attention to our party.I tried two different salads, which were both well-dressed, and of acceptable portion size. The burger tasted quality, would recommend.The mashed potatoes and lollipop lamb chop were also worth mentioning.I would definitely stop by again for drinks with friends or for a dinner date.

Warning: This restaurant charges a credit card fee. We had a couple of drinks each, entrees, and dessert so the 2.75% credit card fee was around $5.00. Food was OK not anything special for me to pay the CC fee.
