Great drinks and oysters. Amanda makes the best daiquiris!
5 Stars – Fresh, Flavorful, and Fantastic Service!
Galley Fresh Catch Poke absolutely blew us away! From the moment we walked in, Ari made us feel right at home. It was our first visit, and she took the time to explain the ordering process and walk us through the bowl options in a super helpful, friendly way.
The food? Incredible. The oysters were fresh and a total steal at $1.69 each. Our poke bowls were huge and packed with flavor. And don’t even get me started on the cocktails—Amanda crafted a one-of-a-kind mezcal drink just for me that was out of this world!
We had two massive poke bowls, a dozen oysters, two beers, and two cocktails—all for around $100. For the quality and experience, that’s a win. But the real standout? The customer service. Ari and Amanda made our night. Can’t wait to come back!
Awesome place, very clean and everyone was inviting.
Awesome restaurant with delicious seafood choices!
Was in Buffalo General for surgery and did Door Dash. Very good. We will order when in town again
This was the best poke bowl I’ve ever had- hands down. I got the Flaming Tuna bowl and I was amazed. The tuna was melt-in-your-mouth fresh, the veggies were crispy, and the rice was perfectly cooked. The combo of textures was awesome. Plus I typically hate seaweed salad and pickled ginger, but these were delicious! You can tell they were made in-house. And I felt so light and energized afterward. The staff were the friendliest and funniest folks, so I already felt at home just ordering my food. It’s beautiful and spacious and everything’s compostable, which I love! I wish I lived here so I could come every day!
Very fresh and tasty poke for a descent price.

Such a cute place to hang out for food and drinks! I loved the vibe and how colorful and vibrant the atmosphere is. The service could have been better both times I dined-in and for Poke. Both times service behind the Poke counter was a little dry and unwelcoming. Poke was really good and the bar area is fun! I’ll definitely eat and hang out here again.

Probably one of the worst poke restaurants I’ve ever been to. The bowl was very overpriced; many of the toppings that would be free at other poke places were upcharges, and the base bowl was already very expensive. The topping selection itself was also poor. There was no seaweed salad in stock the night I visited as well which was unfortunate as that’s usually my favorite topping in a poke bowl and is a staple of any poke restaurant.
On top of the price and selection, I wasn’t super impressed with the flavor of the food. I found the chicken to be quite dry.
Also, I found the gentleman making my bowl to be a bit rude and unfriendly.
I would not return.

Maker of poke bowl seems very irritated with every question I had. Like he couldn’t be bothered when I asked reasonable questions. Food was ok compared to other poke spots I visit. Vibe was cool. A little expensive for a bowl, 22.00

Very overpriced but I figured I would give it a shot since it’s attached to my hotel. I layover here 2x a month and love Poke. But the guy who was making my bowl was extremely off putting and rude. Don’t think I will be returning or recommending this place to anyone else.
