The Galley - Chula Vista (CA)

4 /5 Jay Schimke: Staying at the Gaylord Pacific and this is the only off site restaurant in walking distance. There is a sign to see the hostess for a seat but no one seated us and a group leaving told us they had to seat themselves. We noticed the waiter was alone and he was spread too thin. He was real nice and did what he could to keep up. We blame the management for not having the staff to run a decent restaurant. We got our food 5 minutes before our drinks and the kid’s water. The fish and chips were good, I got a good amount of fish and the fries were pretty good. My wife was happy with her chicken quesadilla and my son liked his poke. The clam chowder was so-so. All in all it was good because of the waiter, the location and some pretty good food, if there was competition, I would pass.

5 /5 Alan Bunge: Great friendly restaurant and bar on the marina. Good food, good cocktails. Live entertainment most nights, Wednesdays is classic rock with Rons Garage band, very talented musicians playing great 70s & 80s rock and roll..

5 /5 Christian Patrick: Fun and lively atmosphere on a Saturday night, including a live band. I sat at the bar, had the fish and chips, and enjoyed the party around me. The staff are friendly and the food was excellent. It’s a perfect place to escape the Gaylord next door.

5 /5 Thomas Hörmann: We visited this bar due to a google recommendation while we stayed in Chula Vista for one night on our California Roundtrip. A very nice spot, directly at the marina. Delicious food and a fantastic live band - wonderful! This was the perfect evening for us.

3 /5 Collette Ojeda: Okay, Ill start with the pros. The food is always excellent and the scenery is fantastic. But thats where the good ends. They REALLY need to do a better job cleaning. The tables, chairs, condiment bottles, and menus always feel greasy, sticky and just gross. Also, we went there on 10/4/25 around 4:30pm before it got too busy and our waitress (initials were S. D.) didnt come to check on us the entire time we ate. She came when we were almost done and asked if we wanted boxes and the check. No drink refills, didnt ask if we needed anything else. Nothing. Very off putting. We couldnt get out of there fast enough. We were over it. Will probably be a while before we go back, if at all.
