Gullifty's is 49 years old, and it is still great. The only negative is that the noise can be unbearable if your table is close to the bar. Otherwise, it is super. You would not expect such great food at a place that looks like a college hangout, but the food is indeed excellent and very reasonably priced. Everything we had was outstanding -- portobello and tomato flatbread, shrimp Caesar wrap, veggie burger (GREAT!), quesadillas and Irish cream chocolate chip cheesecake. And our server, Noor, could not have been more pleasant and delightful. She rocks! We have eaten here numerous times over the years, and every experience has been positive. Highly recommended!

The chicken sandwich with cheese and fried onions is very good and the Thanksgiving bowl is also good if a little salty. I'm not sure what my vegetarian/occasional pescatarian husband has ordered there, but he's enjoyed it enough in the couple of times we've visited that he has suggested we go back. We've shared and enjoyed the brussels sprouts. It's pretty cozy for a bar/restaurant and I saw someone making balloon animals, presumably for children, the last time we were there. There was a table with a few children so I think despite the nearby bar, it is a decent place for families. Hot tip for anybody who can't handle stairs: don't go in the main entrance! Park along the side where Mom's Market is and under a sort of awning you will find the stairs-free entrance. I suggest going for lunch or arriving an hour or so early so that you can explore the fabulous used bookstore that is on the other side of the parking lot.

Well trained staff though few in number on this Monday night, the service did not suffer at all, and the teamwork (which always impresses me) was evident. Anthony at the door (and pretty much anyplace else he was needed) and our server John worked seamlessly and professionally. Yet a third person brought our dinner, likely to ensure it was delivered timely and hot. I mean these folks were moving with a sense of mission. In my long experience this never happens by accident. Someone in senior management is screening staff for affability and work ethic AND most importantly customer driven attitude - then supplying effective training. Anthony and John are both fine ambassadors for Gullifty's. My wife had a quiche and salad while I opted for the filet tips accompanied by perfectly flavored mashed potatoes and a sherry cram sauce. John wisely advised that, if as stated I wished my filet tips medium rare, would I mind if the tenderloin tips were delivered 'on the side' as otherwise they might wind up overcooked in the sauce. Very much appreciated - and definitely customer-focused. He read me well, determined how best to address my preferences. Good for the kitchen, good for the customer, and good for the operation. By today's standard I considered the value (defined as the relationship of the entire experience and the $$$ charged for same) was superior.

Gullifty's is now one of the family "go to" spots for birthdays and luncheons as the menu is very safe and everyone can find something they like. Today we had a party of 7 and John (from the bar outside) and Chris?? were our wonderful and attentive servers. The prices are not cheap - but nothing is these day - $9.00 for French Onion soup and $12.00 for a wedge salad (very good and fresh). I added $7.50 for a few medium sized grilled shrimp to be added. The hummus platter is also very good here. Lots of beers and booze, too. We like it!
