on Citysearch Oct 07, 2008My love for this place knows no bounds. I live in San Francisco, but I'm always in Santa Monica for business. I must go to the Galley at least two or three times a month. Whenever I step in the door, I am welcomed with such... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 28, 2008If you like a great big steak, this is your place. Come hungry because you get large portions. Quaint restaurants with lots of eye candy on the walls. Service was great and the food was delicious. Street metered... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 29, 2008Wow!!! What a stunning surprise. I thought with all the reviews, the "oldest restaurant", the "great atmosphere" that we were in for a fun yummy night. We drove all the way to Santa Monica and walked into what could... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 25, 2008This is a fun little place on Main Street. The inside is very chotchky with lots of lights, but it is a good local spot. We had some good clam chowder and calamari. There are always some local characters sitting at the... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 07, 2008I cannot honestly review the food because the service made me so mad I left. We called ahead with friends who had been there before and recommended it. We arrived at 8:15 on friday night, on time for our reservation. The... (more)

on Yahoo Dec 08, 2007Good good stuff. Stiff drinks, which you'll need because it takes a long time to sit and the bar gets crowded. The steaks are very good and affordable. You also get a nice choice of sauces. I'd like to see a few more side... (more)

on Yahoo Oct 09, 2007This has got to be the best kept secret around. I don't know why there aren't 50 reviews on here, but The Galley is by far my favorite restaurant. The atmosphere is awesome and the food is to die for. My FAVORITE is the... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 26, 2007i have been eating here for 40 years, and even though I was a kid then, it still has almost the same feel to me. I remember waiting for hours to get a table because there were only a few. There are more tables now, so you wont... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 23, 2006I love the Galley, I've been going there for years. It's always been a favorite of mine, and it doesn't hurt that it's walking distance from my house. Captain Ron makes sure that everyone is given special treatment,... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 23, 2006My girlfriend and I went to the Galley for our 2 year anniversary. We started out with the shrimp cocktail, which was bigger than we expected. Very good. Then I had the spinach and mushroom ravioli, which was... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 15, 2006The Galley is a friendly, low-key neighborhood restaurant that has fantastic burgers and a full bar. There are plenty of places in the area that offer good burgers, but none of them seem to have good wine or hard... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 08, 2006I'm not kidding. Words can't describe how bad the sights, the smells, and the tastes were -- but I'll try. I have NEVER not finished at least half a steak and this piece of, ahem, filet mignon was inedible. Not even the... (more)
