Galley Restaurant

Sappy Valentine's Day

The Galley USED TO be a great place, one of the only places I would go for seafood, being originally from Maryland, and knowing good seafood when I taste it...

Im not sure what happened within the last year or two... we went tonight for Valentines Day (with reservations)and waited 40 minutes for our drinks, 50 minutes for salad, and after an hour and a half, we left a few bucks on the table for our weak drinks and left. We were NOT the first to walk out tonight, either ! Worse yet, we saw the manager walking around all night and he NEVER came by to acknowledge or offer an apology, let alone a drink on the house for the inconvenience. In fact, the one time we did see him, he took the drink order from the table next to us and then NEVER brought it !!

We went down the road to Hartmans where a TEENAGE girl named Krysta saved our evening, offering great service and making us actually laugh after our awful experience. The Galley should hire HER if they want to stay in business...

• Pros: last time I actually ate the food there, it was very good
• Cons: you have to have A LOT of time on your hands to WAIT for the food - and enjoy being ignored !

I was at the Galley for Valentine's Day, and it was busier than I'd ever seen it. Any popular restaurant is going to be chaos on Valentin'es Day and Mother's Day- but the Galley is popular for a REASON. You cannot go to a restaurant once a year (on the busiest day of the year) and make a judgement based on that. On Valentine's Day I had the best MARYLAND crab cakes I've ever had. You obviously should try going out more often.

used to be our favorite place for seafood and drinks before becks land and sea opened. the galley is still a very nice place for an anniversary dinner or romantic date. suggest sitting back in the lounge where the piano is played and it's allways candle lit. crab imperial is unbelievable.

• Pros: not crowded, lots of parking
