Celebrating our anniversary weekend and looking for a local place for some seafood, we stumbled upon the Galley. What a magical place dripping with local history. It has a very laid back vibe, but do not let this fool you. The food is amazing and cooked to perfection. I had the Australian Lobster tail and Filet Mignon and

I really thought this place would be good….I was mistaken.. the food is bland with no flavor, both dishes, I ordered a shrimp pasta, and there were only 4 shrimp… who does that? The other pasta marinara tastes like a can of tomatoes. We won’t be back…too expensive for less. However, the service by the waitress was great.

We discovered the Galley by chance yesterday as we were looking for a seafood restaurant and couldn’t have found better. Ron greeted us heartily while we were studying the menu outside and found us a table. The menu was fantastic, we had crab cakes and clam chowder as appetizers. I highly recommend the chowder, although probably as a main dish, given the portion size – I was already full by the time the main course arrived, four scallops on mushroom risotto from the daily specials for 48$, which may seem pricey but was absolutely amazing. I would have been perfectly satisfied with half the portion (for half the price). The calamari steak from the menu was also really good but too much, a smaller portion would have been more enjoyable, we did not finish our plates. The staff was very friendly and attentive, refilling water even before the need arose.

If old-time LA/Hollywood/Beach Cities is your thing, this is your restaurant. The well-kept place is dark (and lit with Christmas-tree lights). There is an outside patio area and a cover sidewalk area too. Steak is what I’ve always known them for, although the seafood, especially crab cakes, are really wonderful too. Just a fun trip back in time.

Jamie, awesome. Drinks were ok, food was ok, price wasn’t in line with the experience – way too high.

We were really surprised how great food is, usually you would expect some mediocre taste from tourists place, but this place is really good.

We came for my brother’s 21st birthday and was expecting a lot more than we received. Service was ok, we had to ask for items that were forgotten, but at least it was fast. The birthday boy’s steak was charred and the outside tasted burnt. For the amount we were paying, we expected more than what we got. Overall, the atmosphere was great and super cozy, but other aspects did not hold up which was unfortunate.

Some of the worst service that I’ve had in a long time. Sunday night, a handful of tables full, never got refills at our table. If she came by our table, it was a minimum of ten minutes between each time we saw her again. We sat for thirty minutes just trying to pay. For a $250+ bill I expect better service.

The food was exactly what I was craving- steak and asparagus. The chocolate cake was amazing by itself, but even better with coffee and a shot of Bailey’s. The staff was friendly and very attentive. A great, quirky, fun experience.
