Want to watch the waves roll in, the seagulls fall over and generally enjoy the seaside but not get sand in between the toes? Then this is the place for you.
The Galley carries the general Omaru steampunk theme. And carries it very well. The box shaped venue offers plenty of ocean views, with a small area outside to sit and enjoy the odd bit of sunshine. The decor here is smart and well thought out.
As we were on our way to a family wedding we only stopped for a take away coffee. Which came in a super size serving. The only downsize, which I'm lead to believe is a Kiwi issue, is how hot coffees are served. You need to let the coffee cool down for a good 15mins before it's drinkable. Surprisingly though the milk wasn't burnt.
Service was friendly. The staff knew what to do and no one was rude or flustered for a busy Saturday afternoon.
Next time we are in town this will be our lunch stop. read more
