  Blown away by this hidden gem! A beautiful renovated historic home, amazing service from our waitress Katie and manager Stan. We were seated at 8:15 (closed at 9 on weekdays) and didn’t feel rushed at all. We also got to see the private wood paneled wine room upstairs. The standout dishes were brussel sprouts app, coq a vin chicken (moist & perfectly cooked, large portion good to split), and the creme brulee. We will be back!

  Omg, this place was great. The service, food, ambiance was wonderful. I was highly surprised at how much myself and my man enjoyed it. From the valet, to the host, the server, everyone was friendly. Their customer service is top notch. I loved it. We are definitely going back. I’m still shocked at how great everything was. The food was delicious!!! We had not one complaint about anything. I wish I’d taken a pic of the food but we were hungry and I forgot 😆 10 stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  My wife and I enjoyed a pre-anniversary dinner at Galley & Garden, and overall it was a very good experience. The service was excellent throughout the evening. Attentive, knowledgeable, and well-paced without ever feeling intrusive. The atmosphere was one of the highlights of the evening. The historic home setting creates an upscale dining experience that feels elegant without being overly formal. Adding to the charm was the background music. The selection of 1920s-1940s big band music fit the setting perfectly and gave the restaurant a timeless feel that enhanced the entire experience. We started with the Pimento Cheese Fritters and House Pepper Jelly. The fritters were crunchy, cheesy, and flavorful. The pepper jelly paired nicely and was one of the highlights of the meal. Bread service with butter was included. It was fine, but fairly average. The surprise star before the entrées was the soup of the day, a combination of collard greens, black-eyed peas, Conecuh sausage, and chicken broth. Comforting, flavorful, and distinctly Southern, it was excellent and something I would gladly order again. For cocktails, we ordered the Banana Rum Old Fashioned and the Golden Paper Plane. Both were well-balanced and enjoyable. My wife ordered the Lobster Ravioli. The presentation was beautiful, and the cream sauce and sausage worked well together. The dish was rich and satisfying, though it could have used a little more salt to bring everything together. I ordered the Short Rib Pot Pie. The presentation was excellent, but the flavor did not quite justify the price point. It was good, but not memorable. For dessert, my wife ordered the Banana Pudding. The presentation was excellent, but we both felt it could have used a little more sweetness. I ordered the Bourbon Pecan Bread Pudding, and it was outstanding. Rich, warm, flavorful, and easily the best thing I ate all evening. The bourbon, pecans, and vanilla ice cream came together beautifully. If you visit, save room for dessert and order this one. Galley & Garden delivers excellent service, a beautiful atmosphere, and thoughtful presentation throughout the meal. While a few dishes fell short of expectations for the price, the overall experience was enjoyable and made for a great pre-anniversary celebration.
