Gallo's Seafood

This used to be my mothers and I favorite seafood restaurant for 50 years. The current owner destroyed it. He raised prices while lowering quality.The last time we visited, only the cheap piece of tilapia with the broiled combo had the classic Gallo's flavor. The scallops were small and bland. I can't even tell how the shrimp were cooked. Maybe boiled? They were completely unseasoned too.Even the fried eggplant has changed. It used to be flakier and crispier. Look at the older pics people have uploaded where you could see the breading was flakier and crispier like a panko crust. Must have switched to a cheaper quality.The waffle and sweet potato fries seemed like McCains, right out of the freezer section at any supermarket. This restaurant is now no better than any diner in the city. At least they stopped cutting the shrimp in half to make it seem like more.Facebook isn't supposed to remove posts without notifying the poster, but they removed my honest review on this restaurants page at their request. I've added screenshots of threats I received on Facebook by affiliates of this restaurant over an honest review I left there. I've added an inspection report by the Dept. of Health showing they're not in compliance, and have several nasty violations.

I had a pecan crusted fish and it felt like a home cooked meal I'd be okay with making on my own or through friends or family. As a restaurant, it didn't have a pizazz of taste. A new friend of mine had shrimp mac and cheese and it looked decent with the delicious creaminess and all. I paid extra for asparagus and I think they boiled it rather than stir fried it w spices to add more flavor. I feel this place really shines with its tradition and the service. The female server went above and beyond and made sure we knew about extra charges beforehand and if something included sides or if it would be extra. Probably one of the best servers I have ever had. I tipped 5 when 3-4 would have been quite proper.Looks like I should've went for the seafood bisque here maybe based on the Yelp pictures. Not my first restaurant choice but a homegrown experience where I felt a piece of some of the friendliness part of the neighborhood and tradition among arguably subpar food overall. It is probably hit or miss here.

Went to dinner here the other night and everything was good. We started with the calamari which was a little chewy- just needed to be fried a little longer but the hot peppers they fry with it were so good. I also had a cup of the seafood bisque which I loved. I saved some for my son to try because we both love bisque, he didn't love it as much as me. It was full of shrimp and crabmeat, maybe had some fish in it. I had the fried seafood platter, not what I would typically order but it hit the spot. The fried scallops were so good and so was the deviled crab. The fried shrimp was probably my least favorite but still good, the potatoes were seasoned really well. My other half had the salmon with mashed potatoes and broccoli. The salmon was a little under seasoned and plain to me but he liked it and he said the mashed potatoes were great and hit the spot. Also the butter they serve with the bread was exceptionally good. One down side to this place is it closes pretty early. We went once before and they were locking the doors, so make sure you go before 8ish to get served. We are late eaters due to scheduling conflicts but we will try to get here again soon.

Every visit is outstanding from the employees, to the customers that create a great atmosphere. every dish is delicious and never disappoints and the drinks top off a lovely experience consistently!

We had ten people at our table and the young waitress was amazing . Only two of us had identical meals along with six different drinks. She did not write anything down and delivered everything without asking who ordered what. Of course most of the 7 adults ordered seafood and the three children ordered kids meals. Can not beat thier delicious honey glased salmon , broiled seafood combination, Calm chowder soup or tasty deserts. We have been going there for 50 years and never had a bad meal. We use their take out several tines a year and always bring home a quart of delicious New England clam chowder soup.

Went here last night. Delicious. Roasted potatoes were spot on. I was expecting dried out and depressed potatoes, but instead they were perfect -Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside/ the steak and crab cake were great and the Caesar salad is one of the best I've had in a while. Service was very warm. Nice laid back ambiance. Will definitely come back

My family, friends and I have been dining at Gallo's for years and have always had a great experience and great food, unfortunately today will be the last day we will be dining there.. The waitress was absolutely wonderful, however when we received our food (crab cakes) they were inedible. We never had this experience there before. The kitchen manager came out to discuss and did not seem to believe what we were saying and stated that there must be something wrong with "our tastebuds." I understand it can be disappointing and I am not one to complain, but the seafood tasted bad to us.. we felt like he thought we were trying to get a free meal (which we weren't, it was for my moms bday) I just never had anyone come out and not acknowledge how we felt especially in the restaurant business. He was not very nice and it was a very disappointing experience.. (except for our waitress)

It was good and a little bit expensive for what was offered. Broiled trout was so plain, it had no seasoning or lemon sauce. Bland. Service was great. 1 young man for a large table of 20 meant we waited 10 min for everyone to get their plates. He did all that he could.

My daughter and I decided to stop for lunch recently. Our server, Dave, was amazing! Dave was super friendly and welcoming. He anticipated our needs before we even asked. Dave made a menu recommendation and it is now my favorite sandwich. The food was delicious, the place was clean and each employee we spoke to was very friendly. We had a great experience. We even went back a few weeks later and Dave took care of us and again was great!

We came here for a luncheon after my grandmother's funeral. They were so kind and the food was delicious!! I have a gluten intolerance and they made sure to have a GF salmon for me as well as a GF desert. All of it was so yummy. Our servers were very nice as well and always made sure our glasses were full! Thank you Gallo's!
