"The first thing you realize stepping onto The Galley's porch and looking at the Manhattan skyline is that you haven't left the city, but instead found a pleasant perch in New York's version of a New England shore town. The Galley‘s food is excellent. From the pulled pork sliders that are a main masquerading as an app, to the hamburger sized crabcake nestled in greens, to the Caprice sandwich, and the grilled Atlantic salmon freshness rules. Yes, there is a beef burger – it’s big and juicy and like all the sandwiches comes with homemade potato chips. And the strawberry and spinach salad is almost as much a dessert as it is a first course. Oh and the bartender makes a mean Mojito. Others have complained of slow service. And yes, just as the industry is experiencing a worker shortage, so is The Galley. But on the upside, this means you have more time to enjoy that view. (Full disclosure: I am a member of the CIYC and have eaten at the Galley since it opened in mid May."
