In 2008, the menu at Gallagher's was changed by the new management. Most important among the changes was the removal and exclusion of
Porterhouse steak, which once 'graced' the frozen windows of the meat locker that greets customers as they enter the restaurant. This caused some of Gallagher's old customers to complain about the removal of the Porterhouse, which some believe originated in New York. Gallagher's Steakhouse was featured in the 2002 movie
Monday Night Mayhem. The Trophy Room is a space for business meetings, private dining or events. Located on the second floor it features a bar, real wood-paneled walls and an extensive photo collection. The Trophy Room accommodates 110 seated, 200 reception style, 100 theater style, and the entire restaurant 400 seated. In January 2013, Gallagher's was purchased by Long Island restaurateur
Dean Poll, who also owns
Central Park's Loeb Boathouse. Gallagher's closed for renovations in July 2013. Gallagher's Steakhouse re-opened in early February 2014 with a new menu, which includes the porterhouse, and renovated interior. Staff at Gallagher's are represented by
