    The service was excellent. Our waitress was right there checking in on us, refreshing our drinks and making sure everything was good. The room we were in made voices louder than they actually were, making it difficult to have conversation at our own table. My husband had the Asian chicken sandwich. He found it to have too much cornflakes on it, but the potato salad was good. Calamari was very good. Fish tacos were good, but I wished I'd ordered the burger or California wrap. Price was a bit high, but prices are increasing at all restaurants.

    Staff seemed a bit bothered by our request to sit in the bar area which was requested when I made the reservation. We find the bar area cozier, less noisy and warmer.

    Great food and quite a variety of menu choices. It was early and we were in a quiet area which we appreciated. I had the baked haddock with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli. My husband had a sausage and pepperoni pizza. Big portions- we had a lot of leftovers. The cannoli was pretty good. I’d recommend the Galley Hatch. Their best feature is their wonderful bakery onsite!
