Odd to find a $199 steak with paper napkins. The place was empty at 7pm on a Friday night. The lights were too bright in the dining room with no music playing. The wine glasses were the thick glass you find at Applebee's. I do not like a 15/glass of wine in a cheap glass so I ordered a dirty Martini, surly that would be good. It was served in a champagne glass with no olives. Old Fashioned was great!The steak tip appetizer was just OK. Pork was OK but the mashed potatoes were cold, like cold cold. Scalloped potatoes were also served cold in a piping hot dish. The manager did have it put in the microwave. Overall was disappointed with this place. With a few touches it could be great.Owners: At your price point, you need classier menus, proper glassware, cloth napkins, good lighting, nicer curtains, and food served hot. I'll be surprised if this establishment makes it, which is unfortunate because just a few changes would do so much!

We had dinner here on a Saturday evening and couldn’t believe there weren’t more people there. Service was very good and food was excellent! That was our second time in a few months and both times we were impressed with the service and quality of the food.

Cute spot. Portions are small for price. Food took over an hour to come out and pork chop was raw in center/ inedible. Sad. Menu looks promising but terrible kitchen management. Who has time for a 4 hr dinner? If you serve food rare you should let your guests know. And if dinner take hours you should also let people know.

We had a reservation and were seated in the bar area. Restaurant was almost empty yet the table they gave us was not clean. Decor is poor. Bone in ribeye was tough. 1/5 overall

We started with some specialty cocktails. I had the ruby red mule and friend had a lemony drink. Both were delicious. As an appetizer we had the brussels sprout with bacon. That was very good. There were 3 of us and we ordered the 20oz Ribeye, the 8oz filet, and a golden hamburger. All were exceptional and cooked to perfection. I also tried the chopped salad with dinner instead of getting any carbs. The salad was huge and tasty.

The Gallery Chophouse seems like a restaurant in search of its identity. The bar area is more like a sports bar with a half wall separating it from the ‘fine' dining area. The wall does little to keep the noise down - especially when the establishment turns off the dining music only to replace it with sports commentators. The fine dining area is nice enough, but again, it is overwhelmed by the din from the bar. All and all, the Gallery Chophouse is sort of a sports bar that is trying to be a steakhouse, without really satisfying either genre. I had the $38 filet and was sadly underwhelmed. Medium came out medium well and with the exception of some small places in the steak, it was dry and was totally lacking flavor. The filet was served with some sort of gravy on top which made the experience even more curious. My wife had the steak bits and Gorgonzola and her opinion was that the steak was precooked and reheated for the dinner. Our friends had the lasagna and a salad and neither was memorable enough to make us want to come back for the food. On the bright side, the $4.00 martinis of various flavors were pretty awesome. Maybe we'll come back for the drinks the next time there's a big game on. But I will pass on returning for a nice dinner.

I believe Aspen was our server. She took our order wrote nothing down and forgot to bring one of the appetizers, scallops - did bring my wife's French onion soup. When the main course arrived I had asked about the scallops and she stated that she misunderstood to be scalloped potatoes. I said no bother and to cancel the order now that the main course had arrived. The food was good and could have been outstanding if only there was some type of seasoning for the steak.

Great little spot! Food was excellent. Cocktails were excellent. I'll definitely be back. Needs more exposure because there wasn't very many there. People need to know about this place. It's fairly new.

This place needs to be a lot better. It was very strange. High dollar items and not very good. Not fine dining at all. Played hardcore rock and iTunes Player in wall but want to serve 38 dollar salmon! Sides for high dollar. They call it sports bar/ fine dining apparently. It’s the worst. Waste of money. We paid gave our opinion and left. Won’t ever go back either. I don’t see this place making it. You can get actual fine dining with better food and bigger proportions for cheaper with great atmosphere.
Very overpriced and underwhelming. We were the only people in the dining area but the bar was full and quite loud. I would not recommend for dinner but maybe if you just want a Martini at the bar then that's the place for you.

We like to try new restaurants, and thought the menu looked OK and the few reviews said they enjoyed the restaurant. The restaurant is divided into 2 sections. A bar/lounge area with hightop seating, and a nice restaurant area with tables for 4. For a Saturday evening at 7:30 PM, there was not much of a crowd. Our wait person was attentive and friendly. My wife did have to ask if there were any special dishes for the evening The green apple martini's lacked the hint of any green apple flavor. Nor did they have any cinnamon sugar to go around the rim of the glass. The lump crab cakes (2 for $19) were rather small. Not like Seasons 52, which I always enjoy. There was no sugar or sugar substitute for the iced tea - very poor planning. The house salad did not have any cucumbers. They said they were out of them. if they knew they were out of cucumbers, they could have gone to Publix or Walmart - less than 2 miles away - prior to them opening for the evening. The Eggplant Napoleon (really overpriced for 4 slices of eggplants, 1 slice of yellow squash and 1 slice of zucchini) had too much breading on the eggplant and grilled too long, the yellow squash part of the dish was not cooked. They gave us 50% off that one item. My culinary forte (as a hobby) is Italian cuisine (I trained in a restaurant outside of Verona) and I am asked often to teach people how to make eggplant parmesan and other dishes. I offered the manager some of my experience, but she kind of snickered. My wife said her seared beef filet tips were done nicely, although too much gorgonzola cheese. She said the same about the amount of gorgonzola with the house salad. We are going to wait a few months before trying the restaurant again. Right now, I will not recommend for friends.

Two other groups of people in the restaurant. 3 people at the bar...Very bright. It was good but not great, however our server, Aspen was a delight.
