We were disappointed in our experience here. Our main course, halibut, was good but needed a bit more seasoning. The butter nut squash salad was average at best. The bread, which you paid for, seemed like great value rolls that were slightly stale and the iced tea tastes like it was run through a coffee maker. Not the experience we were hoping for.

Excellent experience all around. The view and ambiance are perfection. Food was very on point and service was excellent. Make a reservation and enjoy your after noon or evening here.

Went there yesterday and ordered the burger which came and had a black hair on the top of my tomato. I told the waitress, but it took 5 mins for the waitress to be checking that we had everything because it was sent over with another server. I sent it back and no one from the kitchen or management came over to make sure everything was okay after or if they could accommodate anything. For what’s supposed to be a top place on Nantucket it was actually kind of ridiculous. The waitress apologized and I said I would just split my friends burger because I didn’t want to wait for another to come. Felt inclined to write a review because I was shocked.

Awful service. Had a reservation at 4:30, showed up a little early and was sat right away on the beach. By 4:50, no one had come to ask what we wanted to eat/drink. Wasn’t even given water or introduced by a waiter. We had went inside to let them know no one had come to our table for 30 minutes. We were told someone would be right out. Waited another 15 minutes to still never have anyone come out. We go back inside, expressing our frustration again & they did not seem to care, nor were they apologetic. It is about 5:15/5:20 at this point when we finally have a waiter come to us (at a closer table on the patio they moved us to) and we try to order food from the menu, we are told the kitchen is closed because they close the kitchen from 5-5:30 to transition to their dinner menu (which we also were not offered at this point for the inconvenience)……… absolutely awful, awful service. Had we had service the time of our reservation, we could have ordered food. But because of YOUR mistake & lack of paying attention, you did not even attempt to TRY to make things right. We ended up leaving because we did not want to pay a single penny to this restaurant. Also, the kicker of this, you only have up to 48 hours to cancel your reservation. Once it’s 48 hours before your reservation, if you cannot make it you will be charged $50 PER PERSON for a no show/cancelation fee. For what?! For somewhere that presents to be upscale, you need better management and/or employees. It’s a shame because the place was beautiful. I understand things happen, but atleast try to make things right… they couldn’t have cared less. Big disappointment.

Absolutely beautiful place but good luck trying to get serviced here. Made reservations for 4:30 and waited over a half hour to even get asked if we wanted water. Once I brought this up to management after having to find them, they said they’d be right over. After another 20 minutes of waiting I asked if we could get sat somewhere where we could get service. Once we finally got some service we were told the kitchen closed at 5pm…. Again, beautiful looking place, but that’s about it. Extremely upset about this situation especially since we were told we would get charged $50 PER PERSON if we did not show or canceled.

The restaurant’s beachside location is beautiful especially at sunset. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. The food was bland with very few options. Despite the steep $89 per person price tag, nearly half of the already small menu carried additional upcharges. Service was even worse. Our waitress was rude, never smiled once, wasn’t accommodating, and didn’t seem knowledgeable. With an automatic 23% gratuity added to the bill, it felt like there was no incentive to provide decent service and it showed. She needs to be retrained or find a new job. Beautiful setting or not, the dining experience was nowhere near worth the price. Steer clear.

We had a nice evening at Galley beach. The setting is gorgeous, the service was impeccable, and the people watching was great. The food was very good. I would return for a special occasion.

Anita Mires

Very noisy restaurant with adequate food, rude waiters, and extremely overpriced food and drinks. Skip it - there are many better places to spend $700 for a modest dinner for four people.

Beautiful setting but outrageously expensive and the food was not worth the price. The prefix price of $89 pp is deceiving as there were only 3 dinner options priced at $89. Most dishes had an up charge of $18-25 plus there is an automatic 23% gratuity added. Maybe go there for lunch. Dinner not worth the price tag .

Beware! When I went to make a reservation, I was told it was $89. Pre Fixe menu for 1 app and 1 entree. When I arrived, HALF of the menu items required plus dollars! (See below). Tacky for a fine restaurant. Never seen anything like it and the diners around me were also talking about it. The restaurant and setting on the beach is gorgeous and you are paying dearly for it. The food was good, the service was excellent. Just bring TWO wallets!
