Our family visits the Central Coast every year and The Galley will now be a part of that tradition. A beautiful setting with an excellent wine list, beautifully prepared food, and an attentive wait staff made for a wonderful evening. Our party of 8 each ordered something different and everyone was convinced that their meal was the best. Can't wait... more

Had a fantastic dinner at The Galley, which was expected because of their great reputation. The added bonus was the excellent service: attentive but not swarming, informative but not pushy, and "there when you want them there." DPJ more

We found The Galley while strolling the Morro Bay waterfront and now look forward to bringing all our friends and visitors there. In addition to the very pleasant interior decorating they have done, the availability of German Koelsch style beer on draft was a real thrill. It is typically only available in Cologne, Germany. The menu offered an excellent variety... more

This restaurant's food and service was SO incredible, we ate there 2 out of the 3 nights we stayed in Morro Bay. I'd recommend reservations, as the place fills up quickly. I had shrimp scampi both nights because it was SO good. My boyfriend had lobster both nights and steak one night. The desserts were to die for. The restaurant... more

The Galley, first off, is beautiful. The gorgeous bay and Morro Rock views surround the entire dining room. I was warmly greeted right when I walked in the door and completely taken care of from there on. I was totally impressed by all of its refined details; the mahogany tables, the Riedel stemware, the well-placed Hawaiian undertones. And in the... more

Based upon the great reviews on Trip Advisor, we made reservations and ate at The Galley Seafood Grill and Bar last weekend while traveling through the area. This had to be one of the most forgettable meals we have had in a very long time. The service was poor - we had to flag someone down to order a drink... more

Was staying at the Anderson Inn and had dinner at the Galley restaurant based on Mollie's (co-owner of Anderson Inn) recommendation. Had a beautiful sunset dinner: ordered 2 dinner entr Pan Seared Scallops and Local Sand Dabs + Clam Chowder + Chocolate Lava cake. Seafood was simply divine--fresh and expertly prepared. Skip the clam chowder (too salty) and chocolate lava... more

We have made the Galley our local place to eat in Morro Bay. The food is fantastic, the ambience perfect, and the view spectacular. The variety of sea food in all price ranges makes it wonderful for a special celebration or just a casual night out. We have always had super food, and have enjoyed the friendliness of all the... more

We came all the way from Germany, because we know the owners Dave and Aglaja Peter. Even though you can not expect a totally unbiased review, let me assure you that this is a most wonderful place. Everything, the food, the wines, the staff is just outstanding!!! It certainly was a big plus that Reissdorf Koelsch, a German Beer was... more

After many years of vacationing in Morro Bay we happily found The Galley Restaurant. The food is excellent...we ate seafood every time we were there....perfectly prepared, delicious, and presented with simple elegance. The concept of "naked fish" is great. No sweet, heavy sauces...just the wonderful taste of the fresh fish, or shrimp, or the heavenly seared scallops, ..or clams steamed... more
