   Went for a birthday lunch. Was surprised to see so crowded for 12:00 on a sunday as they do not offer a brunch. Glad we made a reservation. Where we sat there were only two servers on our side, to me very short staffed. Food was okay wasn't great. Put a note in Opentable that it was a birthday, never asked about it. Servers didn't ask if we wanted more drinks, we had to make sure if we wanted refills we had to make sure we got her quickly when she came back with an entree.

   Saint Patrick’s Day specials were delicious. We went early so restaurant was not crowded or noisy and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

   A great go-to place. Met our friends there for dinner as none of us had been for a few months. It's a basic but comfortable dining room in the restaurant part (there is also a separate bar section with bar and tables). Food was really good - two of us had Portuguese seafood stew, I had salmon, the fourth had veal parm. All excellent. Service was very attentive. Prices very reasonable.

   A local favorite in the Seacoast region of New Hampshire, the Galley Hatch is a cavernous labyrinth of wooden booths whose inner walls are topped with glass baffles to provide a measure of privacy and dampen sound. The food is delicious American fare (e.g. Seafood Newburg, Prime Rib, Lobster, fried whole-belly Clams) and the wait staff notably professional, attentive, and efficient. A serious eatery that it is a pleasure to dine at. Recommended for gourmets and gourmands alike.

   Have been going to the Galley Hatch for years because it is never disappointing, food is very good (especially the escargot and the fried oysters with the jalapeno tartar sauce). Our server was Hannah and she was so pleasant and very accomodating which makes our dining out even more pleasant and enjoyable.

    I went for my mom’s 78th birthday. My dad is 80yr so I know hearing is an issue in noisy places. I requested a quiet table on a busy Friday night. They totally saved us one and put us out of the way of the main dining room in a cozy corner. I really appreciated this. We had a lovely time.

    Food luke-warm; staff loud in kitchen area, joking around - perhaps why food was luke-warm. Run-of-the-mill restaurant, nothing special.

    The experience was just okay. Our server didn’t have a runner, which was unfortunate because he seemed to be new. He did as good of a job as could be expected, except I really would have loved to have a proper soup spoon with my French Onion Soup. He was attentive to refills of water, which is notable given how many glasses of water my husband can go through. The entrees were actually quite delicious. I had Jessica’s Chicken Romano and my husband had the Blue Crab Ravioli with Scallops. We got dessert to go and had it the next day. We both got Tiramisu, which came in these nifty little serving boxes. Unfortunately the dessert itself was very disappointing. Tiramisu has ladyfingers soaked in espresso. This was just ladyfingers by themselves in a layer or so of barely sweetened marscapone cheese. Pretty boring. The website makes the restaurant seem much more upscale than it actually was. It’s really much more of a casual place with fairly everyday food. It wasn’t bad (except the tiramisu), it’s just not a place we’ll run back to anytime soon.

    The Galley HatchResponded on February 27, 2023Hi JC, Thank you for taking the time to write us an honest review. We are very sorry to hear that you didn't have the best experience, as we pride ourselves in quality, consistency, and strong customer service. We will let our management team know of your feedback and hope that you give us a try again in the future.

    Our first table assignment was in a too bright and noisy area, but the hostess was understanding and moved is to the older section which is definitely nicer. Food was delicious as usual. We live two and a half hours away and we always stop for dinner when we're in the area.

    Had a drink in the lounge before our Valentines Day reservation. Pomegranate Margaritas were excellent. Wait staff was attentive and pleasant. Fisherman’s Platter for dinner was OUTSTANDING. Again the wait staff was attentive and pleasant. A bit pricey when you add in the alcohol, but totally worth it for a special occasion. Will definitely go again.

    This was my first time at The Galley Hatch. I came from Maine and met a friend coming from Massachusetts so it was a great location for that. We were both pleasantly surprised - our server was wonderful (I wish I remembered her name) and the food was very good with a great selection. We will definitely be coming back! Thanks

    Our dinner for 4 on a Saturday night was excellent. We had an early reservation and were seated immediately. Although the restaurant was busy our booth by the window was away from the crowd and very comfortable. Our server, Naomi, was attentive and helpful but never made us feel rushed as we lingered over our delicious meals and coffee. So many things to choose from! We will definitely be back to enjoy the extensive menu and pleasant atmosphere.

    My wife of 44 years and I went to the Galley Hatch for our anniversary dinner. Overall, we had probably the best dining experience of all the restaurants we've eaten at in and around the New Hampshire coast. The dining area itself has a comfortable feel, the service was attentive and pleasant, and the meal was excellent. My only complaint, and it's a relatively minor one for me because I still thoroughly enjoyed my dinner, was that I had the 7 oz. filet which I ordered medium-rare but which was cooked medium. Other than that slight pothole, we had a very enjoyable experience. For now anyway, we have found our new favorite restaurant in the area.

    Our server, Elsi, could not have been more pleasant and helpful! Her kind and sparkling demeanor could not have contributed more to an otherwise wonderful New Year's Eve dinner. The decorations right next to our booth were absolutely delightful and the New Year's Eve specials were DELICIOUS! You truly exceeded our expectations. Thank you!!!
