About The Galley

The Galley is a charming restaurant located by the harbor, offering a delightful lakeside dining experience. Recent renovations have transformed the space into a modern and rustic boathouse-style setting, reminiscent of being in Florida, even during fall 2025. The restaurant features stunning sunset views from the rooftop seating, making it a popular spot for both locals and visitors seeking a relaxing outing by the water. The staff are attentive, friendly, and quick to provide helpful recommendations, although peak season can bring long waits. The menu includes a variety of delicious options, with standout dishes like fish and chips and Cajun shrimp tacos. Customers praise the hot and fresh food, the welcoming atmosphere, and the excellent service, which sometimes experiences delays but is generally friendly and accommodating. The Galley is a well-run, unique place that offers a lovely setting for casual gatherings or special occasions, and many look forward to returning to enjoy its beautiful views and tasty meals.

Just had new fresh battered fish and chips. Amazing! My wife just had lobster roll both with fresh cut fries. Certainly recommended.

Tasty food and a great location. Beautiful view from the upper deck in particular. Big shoutout to the young hardworking staff. Tonight they were run off their feet but there were smiles all around and they gave good service despite it all. Will be back again for sure.
