Galley Beach Nantucket Reviews
Enjoyed the food, service and ambience! Would recommend
Enjoyed the food, service and ambience! Would recommend coming right for sunset! The martinis were excellent.
For a very special evening, Galley Beach is the place to go.
Reservations open two weeks prior to your requested date. So, you may not have that spectacular sunset on the night you go. The menu is price fix for two courses. $89 per person. The restaurant adds an automatic 23% gratuity to the bill; 3% of which
Terrible service and way overpriced for subpar food.
The restaurant’s beachside location is beautiful especially at sunset. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. The food was bland with very few options. Despite the steep $89 per person price tag, nearly half of the already small menu car
A nice spot for a special occasion
We had a nice evening at Galley beach. The setting is gorgeous, the service was impeccable, and the people watching was great. The food was very good. I would return for a special occasion.
Not worth it
Beautiful setting but outrageously expensive and the food was not worth the price. The prefix price of $89 pp is deceiving as there were only 3 dinner options priced at $89. Most dishes had an up charge of $18-25 plus there is an automatic 23% gratui
“Tasteless” Pricing Scheme!
Beware! When I went to make a reservation, I was told it was $89. Pre Fixe menu for 1 app and 1 entree. When I arrived, HALF of the menu items required plus dollars! (See below). Tacky for a fine restaurant. Never seen anything like it and the diners
Nothing beats the view of the sunset at this restaurant.
The couches and tables set up on the beach. Some with fire tables are just gorgeous! The service was great! Especially considering how busy it was. The dining room was so loud we could hardly speak across the table. But it is to be expected. Consider
The dining room (for lunch or dinner) is okay.
It's quite $$$ for the quality of food. The sunset, however, is excellent. I recommend making a res for one of the seating areas on the sand for sunset. Drinks are good, service is solid, but the sunsets are 10/10!
Galley Beach delivers an unforgettable dining experience.
The pasta was sensational and my wife's lobster was as fresh and flavorful as it gets. Service was warm, professional, and accommodating. The ocean breeze and stunning views created a dreamy atmosphere, enhanced by perfectly curated music playe
Snobby but Ok, fun. great dining experience.
The food, ambiance and sunsets are as good as it gets. Absolute top tier in every way. feet in the sand while sipping your cocktails. prepare to empty your wallet as expected and just know that everyone sizes up everyone up there. It’s comical actu

We didn't have a reservation, but were able to be seated at a high top with a wonderful beach view. Our server Jimmy was knowledgeable and kind! We could tell he got a little stressed due to his tables being spread out so much, but he did a grea
Views great, but not worth it
I had high hopes for this place, given the stunning sunset views and charming ambience. But, unfortunately, the positives stop there. While the setting is truly breathtaking, the food was underwhelming at best. For the price, I expected a lot more t
This Chef had No Chops
My husband and I went here for our 40th anniversary based on our hotel's recommendation. What a disappointment! The staff wasn't welcoming, the waiter was haughty and arrogant, and most importantly, the food was incredibly subpar. I had the

I am imagining a big part of the appeal here is the beautiful view! Unfortunatley we went on a day that was very overcast so any of that appeal was lost on us. We sat at an akward table where the staff was acting like it was normal to pour wine and
EXPENSIVE NIGHT OUT
Beautiful venue,on a large flat beach, next to the water. Reservations a must in advance. Crowded at 6:30 PM. Wait staff efficient and helpful. The menu is price fixed at $89, Choices of seven apps, and then seven main courses. Many of the op
High Price, Not Gourmet, 23% Fixed Tip
The pre fix menu is unique, yet it seems like reheated food to get high table turnover. Very pricey wine list - rather a purposeful intent to have prices in the hundreds to thousands - and obnoxious hidden items like $5 bread. A 23% automatic tip ad
What a gorgeous view.
We sat where we could look out at the beach and ocean and watch the sunset. There was a parking lot in front of the restaurant if you managed to bring a car to Nantucket. The service was impeccable. There was always a waiter within earshot. He

Pro- atmosphere and service Con- food was mid, nothing I would crave and have to have again. Drinks had NO alcohol. I had a martini which was tasty but very small and had no alcohol. I switched to a Paloma which was larger, but again no alcohol.
Left with a bad taste
Instead of leaving the restaurant feeling like I’d had a lovely evening, I felt like I had been financially gouged. I’m used to dining in high-end restaurants and paying the price, but this was outrageous. A day later, I still can’t get over
Beach restaurant
Beautiful beach restaurant. Great clam chowder. Pretty view On the beach. Make sure to make a reservation unless you go at lunch.
For the price, the food was extremely mid.
The best aspect about the restaurant was the beach front views and having dinner in the sand. I will say that part was spectacular, however, I was very unimpressed by the menu and quality of food. The service was also not very impressive. The only re
Arrogant front of the house staff.
slow service. Lobster roll was 70% roll and 30% lobster. Killer view but that's about it.

My wife and I dined at Galley Beach this week to celebrate her birthday and we were disappointed from start to finish. The restaurant was overcrowded and the space between tables was minimal. The couple next to us was uncomfortable with the seating
Super bartenders!!!
We visited for drinks at sunset and Jim? and Campbell were tending bar. They were entertaining, made amazing drinks and wished we could have stayed longer they were super fun!
High End Dining
This was an exceptional dining experience, without feeling stuffy! The food was phenomenal, and it was the last night of the season! Had the most delicious lobster calzone for an appetizer, which I should have ordered as my meal!! Such a wonderful re
not impressed.
prix fix menu is deceiving. everything on menu is up charge from the base prix fix. so many other restaurants on the island are far better. to top the ridiculous cost of this meal , the ribeye i got was over cooked and awful. when i told man
One star for the incredible view.
everything else was just horrible. we made a reservation for cocktails/apps (and told we'd be charged $100pp if we didn't show up), but when we got there, the host treated us like an annoyance and was incredibly rude, flustered to find us a table eve

This place used to be really special but now it's not worth it unless you are just there to get the sunset picture. The staff is really pretentious, they charged $100 for 3 drinks at the bar and only filled up the champagne glass half full. It also u

The service, food and drinks are great but the view is everything. Once the sunsets, everyone goes over to the beach to take pictures... and the pictures are amazing. As must as I loved the whole experience the view is what makes the experience spect

Great evening, crowded but very personable service and super dinner. First the oysters are exceptional, the lobster bisque was chocked full of lobster bits and the Lobster entree and swordfish entree were superb. We will be back , very special.
This is the "Go to place" for great dining and sunsets.
Amazing food and ambience. Heavenly experience. Food and service amazing. Sitting outdoors, on lounges or under tent, made expenses worthwhille
Beautiful venue! Had the scallops and they were delicious!
Beautiful venue! Had the scallops and they were delicious! Bread basket was an up charge but worth it. Started off with oysters which were not that good...had to ask for cocktail sauce which tasted like bbq sauce. Go here. It's beautiful! Waiters are
Wonderful evening with the perfect beachside dining!
Wonderful evening with the perfect beachside dining! Sunset was gorgeous and the food and service were wonderful too! Great way to end our trip!
This place is fantastic.
Ignore the reviews. Yes it's expensive but hey, you're on the beach in Nantucket. We had the lobster spring rolls, Caesar salad, chicken, and halibut. All of it was excellent! The drinks are good too. The most fun is people watching. You will have a
Great views, decent food, not worth it
You can’t beat the view if the weather cooperates (which it did). The service is excellent. The menu is less than inspired. The food was well prepared. The drinks and wines were overpriced. And when the check came, it is hard to feel that it is wo
Overrated
Overrated and over priced! Just don’t think worth the hype. Setting of course nice on the beach but that was only good thing. Wouldn’t waste my money again.
Not worth the money
Location is beautiful, but value for money isn’t there. Waiting staff was obviously trying to get us out as soon as they could. Kept saying take your time but came at least 3 times to try and take our plates away while we were still eating, and the
Consistently one of our favorite restaurants on the island.
Cocktail service was a bit slow to begin our experience. We had cocktails on the beach to begin with. Otherwise, dinner spectacular, wine list lovely. It is a must-visit for us when we are there.

Came her recently with a group of friends and had a great night. It is a prefix menu which is not my favorite, I like to try a couple appetizers usually especially when going out with friends, but I guess you could still split certain items with frie
Disappointing
I used to love this place. I’ve visited Nantucket many times and galley beach has always been on the itinerary. However, I realized last night while dining there that they’ve made some truly awful changes since I last visited. While the setting
Beautiful view for sunset
This place is by no means inexpensive so if you’re on any kind of budget do not go here. But if you are willing to pay the food is very good. The service was fast and attentive. And it’s one of the best sunset views on the island. Also a good pla
Bad value
Having now had several lobster rolls during our 3 week trip to nantucket cape cod and rhode island I now realise just what poor value it was at galley beach with a roll full of crisps and a tablespoon of lobster spread out on top for $50
Certainly not fine dining
Great location but Overpriced for VERY mediocre food. Lobster roll hardly any lobster and accompanying potato salad tasted stale.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Galley Beach Nantucket at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Galley Beach Nantucket page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Galley Beach Nantucket to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Galley Beach Nantucket!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
