Frommer's Review

Offering the best setting of any restaurant on the island, located about a mile from town on the property of Cliffside Beach Club, this restaurant is set on a private beach near Jetties Beach. The Galley offers a particularly chic yet beachy fine-dining experience as fragrant ocean breezes perfume the air and guests relax on white wicker chairs. Given the setting, it's no surprise that the Galley specializes in seafood caught locally by island fishermen. Produce comes from the restaurant's own organic garden. The menu changes often, but noteworthy menu options include the restaurant's signature New England clam chowder with smoked bacon or the shrimp tempura served with Asian slaw. As a main course, there might be a luscious lobster risotto, native halibut with forest-mushroom strudel, Black Angus filet, or simply a 2-pound lobster with all the fixings. Desserts are made on-site by one of the island's finest pastry chefs. The Galley is also a good choice for lunch, when you can enjoy this delicious gourmet food at lower prices.
