About this business
The Galley place is proud to be the oldest restaurant and bar in Santa Monica. Its loyal clientele ensures that it should hold on to that title for quite some time. The dark, New England seafaring motif may make you think you've landed on Cape Cod. Favorite dishes are the famous steamed clams in a bucket, seafood pasta, salads and the jumbo porterhouse steak served on a a plank. A bottle of wine here is reasonable and there is a full bar as well.

Reservations- with an hour wait!!!!!! – I 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 Table wasn't quite ready yet, so we sat at the bar and had a couple drinks. An hour and 15 minutes later, we asked why we weren't seated yet. The Response: Well, on Friday nights, even with a reservation, you can expect to wait for an hour or so. What? why even take re... read more
Great food, service!! It made our recent trip to California so much better, we'll be back!!!!! – We discovered The Galley on recent trip from Baltimore MD, and the food, especially the steaks, and service were high part of our trip. We will be back!!!!
Great Local Hang and the Best Steaks in Town! – I have a blast everytime I go to The Galley. It's a great bar scene and the place is always packed with loyal regulars. I've never had a bad meal there and the jumbo shrimp cocktail is amazing! You must say HI to Captain Ron and have him tell you a story of the "old days" if you go. This is a great place for a date or to meet people at the bar. I highly reccommend it!
an old friend – i 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 be quite as sauced when you sit down. The food is good, and the service is good. I cannot write an objective opinion about this place; it's just to emotional. I miss the bumper pool table.
Great food and great customer service – A group of us had our New Year's dinner here and we had a great time. The food was good and fresh! We will definitely come back here for more.
Good food, great atmosphere – My 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 delicious! She had the New York Steak, which she really liked alot (I don't eat meat). We weren't sure what kind of wine to order, so the waitress was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. She recommended a wonderful cabernet that went well with both our dishes.
Great Hot Dogs! Mellow vibe. – It's a little dark in there, but if you are craving a rockin chili dog, you won't be dissapointed.
Consistent food and service – I 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, and is well taken care of. The steaks are worth coming in for.
Great burgers, full bar, friendly staff – The 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 alcohol. The Galley is a great local hideout.
