Jen14221: The NE clam chowder is great. I also liked the bread pudding for dessert. The clams casino are tasty but on the smallish side.

Myra: Great atmosphere and shellfish. The clam chowder is amazing. A little pricy, but it's so worth it.
Nohra Murad: Good vibes, perfect lobstah rolls. Great pickles too!
Ann M: A tucked away, authentic Maine lobster shack. Buy a beer at the Foodery on Sansom then hunker down for a classic Maine lobster roll. Thank you Luke for expanding to Philly!

Mike O: New special dinner menu - clam chowder is awesome
visitPA: Modern French cuisine in a matchingly modern setting, complete with fresh baguette! Oh, and the kitchen cures all of its charcuterie meats. What else can we say other than mmmmmmmmmmmmmais oui?
Chris L: Breakfast is hit & miss. Come here for the view outside and the airy interior.
Christopher Long: Try the mussels with white sauce, the seafood chowder was very good. The grilled Ahi Tuna salad was good, but the tuna was a bit charred. The Belgian Saison was fine, but not spectacular.
Hans Zandhuis: Crab cakes were fabulous, predominantly crab versus breading. Also pork tacos were delicious
JJ: The cheesesteak egg rolls are awesome!!!

Brenda Cash: Very nice eating in for a change. Loved the shrimp, salmon and scallops combination.
Thrillist: Alongside their seafood spot, Gallo's serves gut-bombs like the the "Burger Bar Special", with Gruyere and baby bella mushrooms, and the double-beef, double-cheese, heap of bacon, fried egg "5-Napkin" Read more.
Philly.com: Aside from several chicken dishes, burgers, a grilled filet and a pork dish, just about all else is seafood. And if you like to drop anchor and relax with drink before dinner, Gallo's the place to go. Read more.

Nick Borrelli: Amazing food! Gotta try the mussels in red sauce, absolutely mouth watering.
Philadelphia Magazine: There are Philly expats who cross state lines just to get a drink and some crabfries at the original in Mayfair. Spend a night here when the Phils or Eagles are playing and you’ll understand why.
