    We always enjoy eating here. Food is always good, and it is not too loud to have a conversation.

    It was a nice night for our anniversary. Food, service, and atmosphere were good. It was pricey, but I don’t mind on a special night like this.

    Galley and Garden is the perfect ambiance for meetings, i.e. not too loud to have a conversation. Everything was great, as always.

    I hadn’t been to G&G in a year. I was disappointed. The table they gave us was poor, squeezed in across from the bar and very close to the check-In stand. The food was good but not great. I had indicated it was one of my guests birthday. The Greeter acknowledged this but the waiter did not and there was nothing offered. Overall I was disappointed. The waiter was ok. Nothing special about this almost $300 meal for 3!
