This is our favorite seafood spot in southern CT. We always go here on special occasions or if we need a pick me up! Ambiance is top tier with live music and views, and the food.... Just WOW. We got the tower from the shuck shack and I can't say better things about it. The shellfish was perfectly shucked and cleaned and the caviar came in a nice heaping serving. The lobster salad was chunky and full of claw meat. Highly recommend putting the lobster salad on top of a chip, and topping off with caviar. BEST BITE EVER. read more

The food was just ok and a bit pricey., service was good. What makes it worthwhile is the location, on the marina

Truly the most expensive and overrated sandwich in this whole town. Has gone so far downhill since getting new management 2-3 summers ago. I used to be happy to pay these prices not anymore read more

Service is going downhill. Don't think the neighborhood hasn't been talking about it. But when you take a place that has had the best service since our family started going there 50 years ago and watch it deteriorate into rude and unhelpful it's a shame. Fix it while you can read more

The good thing about this place was water view and outdoor seating with live music. The food was over price for what it was. Tasted alright not WOW. Services were at bare minimum. read more

In our travels we are attracted to breakfast restaurants in marinas and discovered this lovely place. If you can find it, this is well worth the effort. The 2 ladies taking our order were friendly and charming. We will return. read more

I love this place so much. Unfortunately it will be closed soon, for the winter. The music, the atmosphere and just a fun relaxing and peaceful place to go. The breakfast sandwiches are amazing. And who doesn't want to look at beautiful boats. The service is amazing. For lunch you order from your table and it gets delivered. The best!!!!! read more

My older sister and I were in town visiting our parents for the 4th of July and decided to check out The Galley for breakfast. We had heard great things from our family and friends but wanted to make sure the hype was real. IT WAS! We both enjoyed Bacon Egg and Cheese sandwiches and iced coffee. The staff was professional, helpful and efficient. They go above and beyond to accommodate the needs of the guest. You are able to customize your meal exactly to your preferences. The dining area overlooks the harbor and is a wonderful place to enjoy a meal. You're right on the water which is a nice change of pace compared to other local breakfast and lunch spots. The restaurant has turned what used to be an empty stretch of parking lot into a vibrant social hub. I would highly recommend The Galley when visiting Norwalk. The food, atmosphere and quality of the restaurant is hard to find elsewhere in the city. read more

The galley has great breakfast choices. The food is well prepared and tasty. It is an outside restaurant along the water which is a relaxing scene. They only serve breakfast and close early with no dinner. A missed opportunity. Service from the small kitchen can be slow. But the food is worth it read more

Amazing food, great quality ingredients and guests service above and beyond! ... ah, their rum punch is not to be missed. read more

Highly recommended, we love this place, literally everything in the menu is delicious, is the perfect place to go and have a nice breakfast or lunch, the service is fantastic really good customer service.. read more

So I tried to give it a shot and the prices are astronomical. The food didn't seem to be fresh and my husbands sandwich was cold after an extremely long wait time. The guy at the bar was pretentious even after I waited 20 minutes for a margarita. It is very clear things aren't the same as they once were. Sad to say this will be the last chance I give the galley read more

Went on a Saturday morning and was there at 7:30. Food was awesome. I got a Pursuit, which is sausage, egg and cheese on Sourdough toast. Been there 4-5 times and never been let down. read more

The Galley at Norwalk Cove Marina is such a hidden gem in Fairfield County and one of my favorite spots to go in the summer. The Galley is outdoor seating only and has amazing breakfast and lunch sandwiches with beautiful water views of the Norwalk Harbor. Everything I've had here has been excellent. I usually do the Manresa sandwich which is essentially an Italian, and it's fantastic. Highly recommend checking out The Galley! read more

This place is a disaster. The kitchen is disorganized and obviously too small. On a moderately busy day it took them 45 minutes to produce one bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. Lots of other people were complaining as well. Plenty of workers running around but no food coming out of the kitchen. I suspect this is a Management problem. read more

Hands down my favorite breakfast & lunch spot in Norwalk. I feel like calling it a deli understates the quality and artistry that goes into each sandwich. The menu was carefully crafted by the owner Paige and you can taste the love she puts into each item. (You can also say hi to her, she's working behind the counter everyday!) Everything is made fresh to order, which does sometimes create a wait- especially on weekends. I suggest calling ahead if you're hungry. Otherwise the eatery is beautifully situated in Cove marina with stunning views of the sound and has plenty of comfortable seating. Plus there's a bar :) My favorite breakfast sandwich is not on the menu but is sometimes referred to as "the Instagram post"- bacon, scrambled eggs, and cheese with a crispy hash brown and Mike's hot honey on multigrain bread. I'm hard pressed to pick a favorite lunch item, but my current go to is the calf pasture- shaved ribeye, American & provolone, sautéed sweet & spicy peppers, caramelized onion and garlic aioli on a grinder. Run don't walk to The Galley!! read more

The galley has definitely changed Management or it has been sold. How do u drop 70% of ur menu down to a handful of items both the breakfast and lunch menus. Service was always an issue. I can say myself and others won't be going back. Very sad and its not the same. read more

This is the cutest place in Norwalk to grab lunch or breakfast. I got a wrap and a small coffee with almond milk. If you have a pupper you can sit at one of the wood tables and chairs to the right of their dinning area, which has a great view of the water. They staff is super kind and brings your food to your table. I've already gone twice in the last 24 hours so I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area! read more

Will definitely be back! Came for an early morning breakfast and could not have had a more beautiful setting! The staff were chipper, friendly and efficient. They were knowledgeable about the menu items and helpful with suggestions. The menu is a bit more interesting than just the run of the milk breakfast sandwiches with a wide variety of breads and wraps. The food is fresh and was delicious. It was my first time there and I'll be back! read more

Beautiful location and delicious sandwiches! They even had a little table for my toddler to sit at. Thank you!

Came on a Saturday afternoon. It is a little hidden in the parking lot by the beach. I got the Tavern and my fiancé got the Sherwood. The sandwiches were seriously unreal. It's a family business and we are looking to potentially move to the area, they were so nice and gave us tips on where to go explore. Definitely will be back next time in Norwalk to try some of the other sandwiches! read more

Super cute outdoor spot, it's got great coffee and tasty sandwiches, and I loved that I could substitute my bread options etc. The outdoor seating gives you a beautiful view of the water and the country music playing was a nice touch for a relaxing afternoon. Would definitely return if in the area :-) read more

Took over a half hour to get a sandwich. Great view, but awful smells of gasoline and diesel coming from the dock right in front of us. Bar girl is real lazy. She seems almost elevated above everybody else and too much of a hippie to care about getting people their drinks. And that's a lot coming from a hippie like me thank you. On the other hand food wasn't bad. read more

The View is amazing. Arriving by boat or car makes it my go to spot for lunch well working or fishing They also throw pizza night parties with live music it's a great time. read more

Literal best deli in Fairfield county!!! Food is always delicious! Staff is friendly and courteous!!!

From Extravagant Private Events to a quick lunch break The Galley has it all. I had my engagement party here, and from start to finish Paige, (the event coordinator/manager) was nothing but helpful and accomodating. Paige right off the bat made me feel as if my needs were her #1 priority. Her staff was hardworking, flexible, and attentive. I never had to worry about a thing. They were able to provide food from Buffalo Chicken Sliders to Pasta Salad to Proscuitto and Goat Cheese Sandwiches. They were also able to make every item they made gluten-free for my Fiance who has an Allergy. My friends and family were blown away at how nice the event was. The Galley Team was able to wow my loved ones while still keeping me significantly under budget. I would highly recommend anyone looking to plan a private outdoor event to have it at the galley. If you're still reading this know that I do not write reviews ever but Paige and the rest of The Galley Team deserve recognition for the incredible event they provided for such a special night. I hope to throw more events here in the future. read more

What a great spot! Delicious sandwiches in a beautiful setting. Love the plantings and cute seating area.

Great food and vibe! However, the woman behind the counter handling orders was not friendly.

Great place for a unique tasty sandwich and super ambiance. Sandwiches are not your usual standards. They offer a variety of breads and allow you to switch things up. Great setting for a relaxed afternoon lunch. Beer and wine are available along with lawn games and waterside music. read more

Such a great spot, with a great breakfast and lunch menu. 20 minute wait after ordering on a busy Saturday afternoon was worth it.

Loved it here! Live music, best espresso martinis. Staff was so friendly to us travel nurses! Food truck and fun bar outside. read more

Great spot on the water in Norwalk. Breakfast sandwiches are unique and well crafted if not a bit large so be prepared! On weekend it was crowded so had to wait a bit but enjoyed our coffee as we did. We will try lunch another time. read more

The galley is clean and tidy eatery that combines high quality food, beautiful sights, and friendly staff all in one. The galley offers a breakfast menu and a lunch menu. Both menus do a great job of offering all types of options. You really can't go wrong with anything you pick. The ingredients are fresh and local! As stated before the staff members are helpful, knowledgeable, and professional at all times. Aside from the amazing food the view is a truly amazing. You get to feel harbor, boats, wildlife, and so much more. The area is EXTREMELY clean and well kept. After each customer left a staff member came out to clean and make sure the area was properly sanitized and ready for the next happy customer. All members of my party enjoyed their meal and are eager to return. I am excited to come back for a breakfast option. The galley is an up and coming star in Norwalk and I am happy to say I am 100% supporting this business. Goodluck to the business and happy eating to the customers. Enjoy!!!! read more

Came here for breakfast and WOW! Coffee food and service was excellent. Will definitely come back!

We had our Father's Celebration of Life at The Galley. Paige Treglia coordinated and catered the event which was fabulous. She was professional, creative and fun to work with. The food was delicious and the staff were all friendly and professional. Many guests complimented the venue and the staff...couldn't believe this was their first big event. I can't thank Paige, her staff and family enough for making our celebration so memorable. Would highly recommend to anyone! read more
