   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.)

   Went there for the Memorial Day dining, the BBQ Briskets & Corn Bread were to die for! Definitely going back!

   This was my third time eating at CIYC. In previous visits, I enjoyed the spinach-strawberry salad with chicken and the burger. This time, there was a special Memorial Day menu consisting of brisket, pulled pork and sides. My date and I enjoyed it very much! The food and the service were great, and you can’t beat the views from the back porch!

   This was the worst restaurant and experience my family has ever had. The wait for food was more than an hour and a half for a party of 6. The waiting staff had no clue what they were doing. People were leaving and when the food finally made it out it was subpar. DO NOT GO HERE.

   I am not making excuses for the spilled water, if memory served me right my server broke down and cried after that incident, and the manager asked if we could pay for the gifts. I am not making excuses, my apology was genuine, and if you were not the family that placed your order twice then it was the other reviewer above. On behalf of me and my staff again my apologies.

   Would not go here again. Made the mistake of reserving for Mother’s Day. The staff was not friendly at all. They were slow to take our order, bring beverages. Half our party received their lunch and the second half received their meals after the first meals were already eaten. The food was not good. Chicken was inedible, shrimp and grits was watery. The staff barely seemed apologetic for the issue and still took forever to bring the check. Will not go back again.

   Hi, Thank you for your review. You were either the 6 top of 7 top that reserved your table on the patio, placed your order on the patio then decided you didn't want to sit outside so came to the large ballroom and give that server your order a second time, which is what caused the slowdown in the kitchen. because we were busy making food for a table that was no longer there. My apologies for your bad experience.
