Great ambience and host - pity about the food - Edit
We went on a Sunday night, we were the only customers. The owner was hilarious, an ex-New Yorker with an extraordinary life story, very interesting and a great host. Unfortunately, the pizza was terrible - the first ones were just about edible at a stretch, but my friend agreed that the second ones were possibly the worst either of us had ever had. As I write this over a month later I find myself remembering with horror the revolting taste of those later pizzas. I'd love to see this guy succeed - he's a great host, the venue's terrific, and it could become a superb concept. But please, read a cookbook, hire a chef, make the food a tenth as good as the excellent ambience and you're onto something. Good luck :)

I received further abuse from Bret Flute, the owner of Galleria Organica - you can see these messages publicly posted on my profile, but for convenience I have copied them below. This is what you can expect if you visit this restaurant and then speak your mind on happycow.
Read moreIn the week that passed between the two abusive messages below, extremely favourable reviews have appeared from two new members that joined 3 days ago. Each review contains a similar spelling mistake - "vegetarion" and "enthousiastic". One reviewer has only reviewed Galleria Organica, the other has also reviewed another venue but the review is basically a copy/paste of the venue's previous review. Draw your own conclusions.
I did nothing to this person except review his establishment. Decide for yourself whether you want to support this person and his business.
