    Bucatini and meatballs
    Mae J.

    What a great experience at Gallus! The Restaurant is downstairs in an older former grist mill with beautiful old wooden beams. The restaurant is small and their focus is a small menu of pasta dishes. Our party of 8 tried most of the menu and everything was perfection. The focaccia bread $8 was great. The wait staff was very attentive! Everyone loved their meal! A plus!

    Five stars all day long! Ambiance, food and service was amazing. All of our dishes were good sized and so tasty. The amaretto cookies were some of the best cookies we've had. Setting on the river/creek was beautiful. Can't wait to go back!

    My husband and I went to Gallus for Valentine's Day, without a reservation. I came by at 5pm and talked to the host. She was able to take us at 6:30pm, which was a huge relief when I saw a packed restaurant. There were no empty tables or bar seating. We got seated at the bar seating and ordered clam tagliatelle, eggplant parm, spaghetti and meatballs, and dessert (gelato and cookies). Pasta was handmade and perfectly al dente. The service was great. I love open kitchens! I saw the chefs and what they were cooking and plating. To me, that means they have nothing to hide. Everything was fresh made to order. Inside was cozy with romantic lighting (probably because of v-day). This place was definitely more suited for couples and small group gatherings.

    Ok they earned an extra star. 6 months later I decided to give them another try. I was a single this time so I sat at the "bar". Not really a bar. No bartender- it's basically a counter overlooking a pit where there are a few tables below. Rather a lonely place. No hooks for purse so it sat on the floor. Three stars. Thought I would be ignored service - wise. Surprisingly no. More careful about ordering this time. Ordered a Manhattan. They had no Makers Mark. Actually a very meager selection of rye. The cocktail was just ok. Hen makes them much better. Three stars. Got the Caesar salad WITHOUT the crumbs and egg. An improvement but still a really heavy salad when salads as an app should be light. For the main course I ordered the bucatini amatriciana. This was good, but not great. It lacked the punch an Amatriciana should have, despite being advertised with smoked chilis. The sauce was way too timid - and I'm a person who orders my Thai food mild-medium. More chilis please! Three stars. A couple of other beefs - for a pricy restaurant, they did not change my flatware between courses. Ok maybe they're conserving energy- but at this supposed level of dining - no. Also, I ordered a glass of wine (they have minimal selections) which was TERRIBLE. Not drinkable - so harsh - and I can even drink Josh cab so it wasn't me. I sent it back and got their other red which was fine. But they serve the wine in what looks like a jam jar. Not appealing. Bring your own glass when you come. Two stars. Service - unlike my first visit. It was a major highlight of my evening- I was NOT ignored and my service was awesome. Jillian, my server, was absolutely the best. Knowledgeable, just attentive enough and accommodating. Four stars. One more thing about sitting at their lonely counter. It's quite fun to watch the kitchen.

    The view and the actual space is amazing. It is a hidden gem in a basement that gives awesome vibes. The kitchen was visible, the staff were friendly. The menu is a bit small, but I don't mind. Prices were definitely fair in my opinion but we are from Chicago so may be skewed. My wife order the lemon ice and really enjoyed it and doesn't normally care for cocktails. The focaccia was a very generous portion, not too oily and delicious with the cacio e pepe butter. The Zozonna was very balanced and rich, exactly what the dish is supposed to be. The stuffed pappardelle had a delicious filling and the portion was perfect. My complaint was the sugo. The sauce was pretty split and very oily. Other than that flavor and texture on the pasta was great. Definitely worth a visit!

We enjoyed the mussels gauzzetto and calamari fritti. The Mediterranean chicken was well prepared and tasty. The pasta special was spinach feta almond slices in a light tomato sauce and I substituted penne for fettucine - I thoroughly enjoyed this dish. The margherita pizza was good. We suspect you need reservations for prime dining hours on a weekend. The decor feels a little dated but the food is great. We can forgive the $2 for a quarter loaf of bread because it's only a few dollars and the bread was fresh and served with garlic oil, not like overpriced $10-$12 Parker House Rolls, but it's not a good trend to charge for bread. Service was good until we wanted to pay our bill - that took a little bit. We'll happily return.

There was ample seating at the bar and as a single I sat down and the bartender was nice and cheerful. She helped me through the menu and I ended up with the fruits of the sea.. in an alfredo sauce. The scallops and shrimps were delicious. The noodles were great and the sauce, although a bit thick was very tasty. The only thing I wish I did different was I ordered the lemon cheesecake.. it was very cold so it'd been stored in the fridge as a slice and it didn't seem to be the freshest but it was okay. The atmosphere is wonderful. The location is great. The service is wonderful. I will be back. I'll just order something different. Dessert.

It was so wonderful to be able to relax with our families instead of having to stress about not only cooking a full meal for 8 people, but planning the menu itself. Both of our families being cheese lovers, he started us out with a beautiful, locally-sourced arrangement of cheeses complete with herbed butter and artisan bread and crackers, along with dozens of fresh oysters. Some of our favorite dishes consisted of the brown butter lobster buns with old bay aioli and lemon (Will also made a vegetarian version of this with cherry tomatoes for one of our family members); hanger steak with chimichurri, peppers, and onions; and a Parisienne gnocchi with freshly foraged mushrooms, baby kale, and dijon crème fraîche. Everything was perfectly cooked and each dish had such a unique flavor profile so that the entire meal truly felt like one exciting journey. We especially loved the carrot cake with cardamom cream cheese for dessert, which had us going back for third helpings. I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful of a time we all had, and we would just like to thank Will again for such a magical evening.
