    Our clinical team was in Alabama for the very first time and Galley Garden showed us the beauty and delight that is within the great state of Alabama. Fantastic food, service, and a gorgeous home turned restaurant-the staff created an atmosphere of high sophistication. We look forward to returning in the future!

    Galley and Garden is an outstanding restaurant and a crown jewel of Birmingham. It is definitely in the top five along with Hot and Hot Fish, Bottega, Chez Fonfon, and Cafe Dupont. The ambience is warm with soft lighting and a luxury victorian home setting. Prices are in the high category but you get what you pay for.

    Galley and Garden was already our favorite date night restaurant, and tonight’s visit solidified that. My wife and I were celebrating our 30th anniversary. The food, atmosphere, and especially the atmosphere and stellar service made this the special night we were wanting. They even allowed me to deliver my wife’s gift earlier in the day for safe keeping. Highly , highly recommended.

    We shared a Caesar salad and shrimp and grits. The salad was delicious with just a hint of dressing. The shrimp and grits were excellent with large shrimp and a really tasty sauce in the grits. Both dishes were quite large enough for sharing. And Savannah did a really nice job serving us. The only negative was a nearby table of four very loud women…very loud!

    Great restaurant. The food was amazing. The crispy brussels sprouts were fantastic. The bone-in pork shank was the highlight, but the bourbon pecan bread pudding gave it a run for its money.
