Gallery Eclectic Bistro

We came in for a late lunch. The host outside tempted us in with their bam bam shrimp. They were a good mix of sweet and spicy. We split an order of the chicken spring rolls. The full order had two massive rolls cut in half. Really good. I had the gallery fried rice while she had the bam bam shrimp pasta. She thought the pasta had a bit too much sauce but loved the shrimp. My fried rice was an interesting mix of shrimp, chorizo, chicken, egg and calamari. Overall a solid lunch. I’d say the egg rolls and rice were a little on the greasy side but still tasty and not a major detractor. The prices were much better than the other chain places on this strip.

I hate giving places 1 star, but when the experience was that bad, you just gotta do it. I was super disappointed with this place, and I won’t be returning.
First of all, when my boyfriend and I were walking by, a guy yelled at us from the «hostess» stand that was just a large menu. It was kind of rude, like not a «hey! You there! Come check this out!» But more of a «HELLO HI THERE HEY HOWS IT GOING HI COME HERE HELLO»… Which to me is super annoying.
The waitress treated me like I was an idiot. I asked how big the portions of fish were and she said «it’s on the menu» and I’m like great. Is it big or small? Is the fish thick or thin and long? And she’s like it says on the menu. So I got the smaller one because she wasn’t helpful, and I was not happy. The fish was dry and the rice was crispy like it was from the bottom of the pan. She also took 15 minutes to bring the check after clearing our plates. They weren’t busy either. I hope this place goes out of business and they put something with better management and better food.

Decided to go to this place for a drink and was pretty happy to see that it was empty. The drinks were decent and the atmosphere was ok but I was greatly upset about my order of calamari. After eating more than half of my order, I noticed a fried roach at the bottom of the platter. I was even more upset about how the bartender/​manager decided to handle the situation. After notifying him of my unpleasant surprise waiting at the bottom of the platter he said we spray every two weeks I don’t know how it got in there. Not an apology, not a guarantee to clear our bill, not even an offer of anything to try and make up for this horrible experience. I’m a very realistic person and realizes this probably happens more than any owner of a restaurant would like to admit. I just don’t like the way the owner handled the situation at all and will never be visiting this place ever again.

Came here to grab a quick lunch across the street from where my boyfriend works. Promptly seated and a waiter took our drink orders. The décor inside is really unique and quite nice. That’s the only good thing I have to say about this place.
The service is beyond slow. It took 10 minutes to get a water and a diet coke, another 10 to get a vodka soda. Our appetizer came out after 20 and was mediocre at best. For entrees I ordered a curry shrimp and my boyfriend ordered a Caribbean chicken. His chicken was so over cooked and rubbery neither of us could eat it. My shrimp was alright at first but the sauce was so thick it was like a paste after two minutes and was then inedible. We told the waiter about it and he apologized as we asked for the check. It seemed as if he had heard these complaints a lot. NO compensation or manager to be found.
Judging by past reviews, and our experience, how is this place still open? Such a shame to waste a place this unique and in a great location. To me it just seems like a lack of management. Will never eat here again and do not recommend.

Recommend the mussels, and carribean jerk fish. Also the Pineapple bread is fantastic, this comes with the meal, so you don’t have to order it. The Lobster crab dip was ok, little bit too salty for my liking but the portion size was large. I don’t recommend the Corn Chowder soup — too salty
Nice décor, spacious table for parties of 4 – 8 people.
Went here on a Friday night for dinner and there was no wait for a table. Service was fast and friendly

Overall we had a good experience here. The service was a little slow considering there were only about 12 people eating today at lunch time. But, the food was very good. We both ordered the chicken Alfredo. One gluten free with sauce on the side. That part was missed but again, over all the food was very good. Great flavor and reasonable portions. We’ll come back.

Great atmosphere. Prompt and friendly service. Consistently delicious food and drinks. I was delightfully surprised to find that they have a vegan menu. Woohoo! Order the crispy tofu appetizers extra crispy. Appetizer size was generous and we split it in three. I ordered the Veggie Lo Mein. The sauce is hard to resist and veggies cooked well. No mushy, over cooked veggies here. We were there for happy hour and the martini selections didn’t disappoint. Perfect place for a date or lunch/​dinner.

I have eaten here a few times and have never had a bad experience. I feel bad for the people that have. The Bam Bam shrimp is fantastic anyway you have. Sandwiches are filling and fresh. Eat outside on days when it’s not too hot.

This has to be the WORST experience ever. Waiter took forever to take our orders. Food took forever to cook. Took forever to bring our checks. Dirty dishes. Things floating in the wine. Food lacked taste. Seems as if they are microwaving lean cuisine and throwing it on a plate. When we asked to speak to a manager our server states «I am the manager» needless to say he did nothing about our horrible experience. I wouldn’t come to this place if my life depended on it.

Great spot for after shopping and before heading to the airport. Skip the chain restaurants and head here for great fresh food! The Thai Salmon was amazing! Lots of fresh vegetables and jasmine rice. It came with a nice dinner salad. Great happy hour deals for wine and drinks. We read previous reviews while waiting for our reviews and were getting nervous but everything was delicious !

Everything bad you see about this place in reviews is accurate.
We had a party of 16 and I think maybe 2 people were satisfied with their meal. Food was over seasoned, poorly prepared, and it came out cold when we were the only table in the entire restaurant.
Needless to say wait at one of the other restaurants nearby.

The name, flaming cheese and lighting are the most intriguing parts of this place. I found the food to be a mite overpriced and simply average.
First, unless you’re familiar with that area, its tucked back in the corner and you can’t see it from the street. When looking it up on google maps it was impossible to find. I ended up going into the mall and asking where to go. Incredibly frustrating when you’re starving. I ended up Parking by Bar Louie and Capital Grille and it’s down tucked in the corner.
I’ve been twice and had flaming cheese. The first visit was more impressive than the second. Both times the flaming cheese was merely a show, and the cheese was meh. The veggies with our meals on one plate were overcooked and on the other, undercooked. I had salmon both times, which was tasty, but the sides just didn’t add up. Not worth the extra money.
If you’re looking for quiet privacy on that busy bar street, then it’s the place to go. Otherwise, it’s not that memorable sadly.

I came here for dinner once. The food was okay overall. They have a very extensive menu and cool décor. I had the Chicken Marsala. The chicken was tender, but the sauce was off and tasted closer to teriyaki than Marsala. The food was very affordable. I could imagine coming back to try something new.

Gallery was pretty underwhelming. The food didn’t make me sick, so I’ll give it 2 stars, but after eating my bland, lukewarm dish, I was unsatisfied. The alcohol at GEB is inexpensive (I got a pretty reasonably priced and tasty glass of cabernet), but the cost of the food is steep. I had the Polynesian vegetables; they were over-​cooked, soaked in a mediocre, pre-​made sauce, and tepid (at best). When I ordered, I asked the waitress if the kitchen could make the dish spicy, and she said it wasn’t possible. I knew then that I wasn’t in for an impressive meal.
In short, GEB serves meals that are no better than frozen meals you can buy at the grocery store. If you’re going there, make sure it’s only for drinks (which weren’t that bad).

Less than mediocre in cuisine, minus the one lunch I had here about a year ago. I had the overpriced steak this time around and would have been much happier with an Arby’s sandwich or a steak from Outback. Subpar, inordinately horrific service with a near empty restaurant on a Friday night.
Shudder.
Redeeming point: $ 5 martinis!

Located outside of the food court area I picked this place as it was near a lot of other nice restaurants like Brio, Blue Martini, etc. I wanted to pick something different though.
I sat at the bar and ordered a glass of wine which I quickly noted was about to turn so the bartender poured me a new glass from a fresh bottle. I ordered the blackened buffalo chicken wrap and it was nothing like the description sounds. The chicken was flavorless, processed, cubed chicken, lettuce, tomato and red onion for $ 8. No sides. Not even chips.
Apparently it was 2 for 1 happy hour??? The bartender kept asking me if I was «ready for the second glass» and I finally asked what he meant and found out about the deal.
I’m definitely NOT complaining about getting a second glass of wine for free! Trust me! I just wonder if it’s their way of trying to make up for the terrible food.

We had for appetizer the bistro sampler which was tasty, bambam shrimp pasta was delicious with a kick to it, the steak quesadilla was good too, all ingredients were fresh but a bit too pricey in my opinion, the mango salmon was very flavorful and the presentation was perfect. My son had the kid’s alfredo which was very good, a taste of garlic/​ginger in it… Overall, it was good but a bit too pricey. The meals wouldn’t be less than 16. The sampler should have been 16 not the 20 we paid. The quesadilla should have been 14 not the 18 we paid. But I gave it a 4 based on taste/​flavor not price. If I were to score based on price, I would have given it a 3.

I experienced the most ridiculous, terrible service I have ever had in my entire life here at Gallery Eclectic Bistro. I came with three other friends and we were the only ones sitting at a table (the other people in there were at the bar). We all ordered the same exact drinks and the same exact meals with a few minor changes (e.g. No salsa with the quesadillas). What ended up happening was a disaster. The server brought out four different entrees and acted like nothing was wrong. We literally gave her the easiest order ever. After talking to the server, manager, and chef (multiple times) we finally got our meals straightened out an hour of being there. Luckily we got the majority of our meal and drinks comped, but that is not enough to convince me to return for a two hour, mediocre dinner.
They try to entice people to come in because of the two for one drink specials and the free food outside. But something has to be said for the restaurant when there is no one inside and the rest of the restaurants at International are packed with people.

Visited during lunch and the wait staff was friendly and attentive. The food was tasty also. I visited this location only once and I will visit it again.
I must say the evening atmosphere is totally different than the lunch atmosphere — the crowd is totally different also… I walked past the area one evening and I was visually entertained.

That lobster bisque and bam bam shrimp is that stuff. I mean good lord it was tasty. I liked the location and the staff as well.
What I liked the most was how inexpensive their lunch menu was. I am a very cheap person and would probably never eat dinner here, but their lunch menu was crazy affordable.
