    This location is one of the best on the Rideau system. The Servers and Sheri the bartender are nothing short of excellent. It’s a basic fun spot with locals, boaters and visitors from afar. Sit up above or watch the drinks being prepared from the bar below. It’s a great location and it has great people to make you feel welcome.

    The fries I had were not very good, seemed like old fries, and the beer pitcher had too much of a head on it.

    Number of items listed on menu were not available. Service was very slow…, more staff is needed. Fish Chowder was nothing more than corn and potatoes in a clear broth. We’ve had many great meals at the Galley but this time was a miss all around.

    The food was great, very delicious. But we actually went for the view and it did NOT disappoint. We were literally on the water! 10/10

    It was a wonderful afternoon! I brought my parents to the Galley for them to experience the beautiful views with a Florida Keys atmosphere. We all had the very hearty Seafood Chowdah’ with a plentiful order of Coconut Shrimp! The service was amazing! We even met the cook who made the Chowdah! (Loaded with an assortment of seafood) Big shout out to the Galley Girls! Great job! See you on the water!
