Food tasteless and expensive. Portions too small. Still hungry when I arrived home. Please hire a new Chef. We experienced the same poor food 2 years ago, decided to try the restaurant one more time today but are extremely disappointed and will never return again.

If I could give a minus 5 I would. We called the restaurant endlessly for a deck booking, even emailed via dining out, no response or answer. Arrived at the restaurant and were greeted by two poorly mannered employees, there was a open table at the deck and we were turned away. The employees even had the audacity to tell us we cannot afford to pay a tip more than R20 and we're rude. This service is utterly disgusting and poor for business. We then went and ate upstairs and had such a lovely experience and even tipped our waiter much more than the R20 that we cannot afford. I will never return here again and have been here numerous times!!!!!

We were hoping for a lovely Saturday afternoon lunch but I was served the most disgusting Nachos I have ever had. My boyfriends curry was just okay. Our sons snack basket was overcooked. My food didn't come out the kitchen until I complained. The first sign something was wrong. Only after my food came out did they bring the meatballs for the snack basket on a side plate. No one came to check on us. I eventually took my plate inside as I could not eat the sloppy mess (no guacamole on Nachos too) and refused to pay for it which they did take off the bill however consider the bad service and yuk food you would think my entire meal and the snack basket should have been for free. We were told next time we come we should ask for the manager lady who was most apologetic but there won't be a next time. Plenty of options in the area where I can eat without disappointment and not have to complain.

Absolutely awesome friendly service here. Even our 3 re-homed fur-children were served each with their own bowls. The view of the ocean is breathtaking. Thank you for a fabulous lunch.

We used to love this place and made sure we visited at least once every holiday. But what a disappointment today. We came for a breakfast at 10am and were the only people there. The music was so loud we had to ask to have it turned down to hear each other. And the place was dirty! You'd think that early on a Tuesday at least the floor would be clean.

Having been to this restaurant many times over the past few years I must say that it takes a lot to beat the beachfront location of The Galley. I remember even doing some dolphin and whale watching during seasons whilst enjoying my lunch or a shark bite cocktail, which packs a punch!
