Come the New Year, Gallagher’s Steak House and its companion burger bar will end a long stay at Resorts Casino Hotel. In its place will be a new restaurant created by the owners of the iconic Knife & Fork Inn and Dock’s Oyster House, according to the Press of Atlantic City.
“This concept will provide a dining experience to our valued guests that is very unique from what we currently offer, and will be a perfect addition to Resorts’ winning amenities,” said Mark Giannantonio, president and CEO of Resorts.
The yet-to-be-named restaurant will feature a classic steakhouse, raw bar and live entertainment, according to a news release.
“We are excited to embark on this project with Resorts,” said Frank Dougherty, owner of both restaurants. “Resorts shares our commitment to preserving the history and ensuring the success of Atlantic City, and we are looking forward to a successful partnership on this new dining concept.”
Frank’s great-grandfather, Harry, opened Dock’s in 1897. The Knife & Fork opened as a men’s club in 1912 and was a speakeasy during Prohibition. In 1927, it became a restaurant when the Latz family purchased the building. The family managed the Knife & Fork until 2005 when they sold it to the Dougherty’s.
