    We have been considering Galley and Garden for a few months, and we finally decided to make it our date night destination. We were not disappointed! Our server, Lauren, was incredible and knowledgeable about the menu items. We ordered the fried green tomatoes, the short rib pot pie, and the fish of the day, which was redfish served over lobster risotto. Everything was delicious!

    The seared scallops were tender with a subtle sweetness, and the duck breast carried rich flavor balanced by seasonal vegetables. Service felt refined but approachable, and the historic mansion setting gave the evening a polished, memorable atmosphere.

    A very disappointing and pricey experience. Fried green tomatoes were greasy and covered in an over powering cream sauce. Fried oysters were also greasy and chewy. The Caesar salad with a crab cake consisted of a bland tasting crab cake laying on a finely chopped bed of lettuce with an unusual tasting sauce and two anchovies. The salmon dish was so so. No desert. Highlight of the night was the old fashion and glass of Chenin Blanc. Service was there at first and then not. Parking attendant was great.
