The Galley, Santa Monica CA

The prices went up a LOT the service is POOR I kept getting a RUDE lady.but damn I love the lights!

Love the ambiance, and a great menu. Ordered the Chicken Parm + thought it was good (not great, but I'd order it again)

I was there for over 15 minutes seating at the bar and none ask if I need anything. I feel like a place like this so famous for been one of the oldest restaurants in Santamonica should be more aware of it. It was my first time going in didn’t like the experience.for over 30 years I had driven by the place never had the chance to go in finally did for the bad experience…

Always a great meal with good service and fun atmosphere! Everyone should visit the Galley!

Great food, great ambiance and great server (thank you Shakuna!). The apple dessert was to die for!

Very cute and fun atmosphere. Staff is friendly and attentive. I ordered the wedge salad. The presentation of the salad wasn't the normal wedge. It was served in three slices. Overall, the salad was great. I would go back again.

First time here. Steaks and lobster yummy! Pineapple margarita was a great drink. Service was excellent and brownie with whip cream and chocolate chips omg!

I love this combo.fairy lights, weird decor, great bartenders, interesting patrons, good food & all wrapped up in a perfect dive bar now.

You walk into this funky old place thinking you found a local dive bar. In a way you have but you’ve also walked in to a first class eatery. The Galley is one of the oldest restaurants/bars in the Santa Monica Venice area. Not much ihas changed as far as Decor from, G-d knows when. A nautical theme that includes blowfish that have been turned into lamps, it looks like a place your dad would love. You will love it too. The drinks are all great pours. The steaks are fabulous. Everything else on the menu is top-notch as well. It’s a bit on the pricey side which can be a surprise. I promise you will have a great meal and if you like to drink, you will not be disappointed. The Galley should be declared a landmark and Captain Ron, should have a state holiday declared on his birthday. Long May you sail.

An old Venice Beach staple. Fun interior and vibe. We didn’t eat an entire meal but the clams were alright. I did kind of love the green onion broth though. And of course the special dressing on our salad. Enjoyed the spicy Margarita, nice bartender.

Great food and atmosphere. I was looking for a local, hole-in-the-wall with some legit seafood, and this fit the bill perfectly. When the locals recommend it, you know it's good!

Over 30 minutes waiting for my dinner just to be told they're too busy.

Clarifying when I got in there was almost no people at the place

One of a kind atmosphere, and literally the best filet mignon I have had in my entire life. If you're looking for a great steak restaurant, go here!

This place is always perfect. The interior is decked with Christmas lights, seafaring garb and sawdust on the floor.

The bar or the booths… they are both perfect.

The burger is great and steaks never disappoint. Take them with a dirty martini and then stroll down the block for ice cream.
