The restaurant doesn't have trendy preparations but the quality was very good. Some of the biggest, juiciest oysters ever. They serve some locally caught fish. Very good service. Because I don't like swordfish, they made the tacos with a different fish for me. The views of Morro Rock and of seals playing right outside the restaurant were amazing. Ask for... More

We didn't book but they managed to squeeze us in at the bar, overlooking the harbour. The staff were extremely friendly, wine was lovely and most importantly the food was amazing- we had swordfish tacos and the fish of the day- both mouthwateringly fresh and at a reasonable price! More

Nice wine selections on the menu. Had fish taco's and steamer clams. Wow, both very good and would highly recommend to others. Fresh in house made bread rolls served with the... More

Great view of Morro Rock and the harbor is only incidental to the great food and friendly service. Definitely a place to go when in or near Morro Bay. A little on the pricey side but not out of line or unexpected for the quality. Rate this restaurant a "Don't Miss". More

The best seafood of our west coast trip. Not cheap, but worth it if you want good food. I think we spent about $75, not including tip or alcohol. The halibut was great. More

This was our first time at the Galley, but definitely not our last. We had dinner here to celebrate our anniversary and...thanks to awesome food, exceptional service and some special touches(anniversary wishes in our "custom" menu), our evening was perfect. My husband ordered the flat-iron steak (excellent) and I had the naked blackened red snapper with the mango salsa. I... More

I research restaurants for my motorcycle tour groups and I've got to say for a rommatic dinner head to "Windows" but if you want great food and a good price head to Galley. Everyone else does so get a reservation. Simply the best piece of swordfish I have ever had. Just enough sophistication to make the flavors amazing but not... More

We are locals and this is where we take friends when they are here visiting. It is a star on the Embarcadero. The views are beautiful as well as the interior. The food is excellant. I love the Salmon, they offer different types of salsa/relishes to go along with it and I like the Mango. There are other options for... More
