Thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. Such an upscale atmosphere. The food was fabulous! I had the pork ribeye. It was amazing!! Also, I had the beet salad with whipped feta was and it was excellent. We had a reservation and that process was seamless. AND, I should mention that they serve a very generous glass of wine. The service was great. This is my new favorite restaurant and I am recommending it to everyone I know!

After having 2 prior disappointing restaurants fail at this location, it’s a relief to finally have an excellent restaurant be here. It’s the best spot on Conesus Lake, and the food, service and atmosphere is top notch. And it doesn’t seem to be overpriced, for what you’re getting. Highly recommended. We’ve been there several times, and have had a great time every visit. If they don’t bring out a complimentary bread plate, ask them to bring you one. The hush puppy and Boston bread are off the charts.

Visited on a late March, snowy, blustery day, and it was so beautiful! The food was served in a very timely manner. The taste of everything was exquisite! The service was incredible. We’re definitely going to make this a regular place!

The service was professional and fun, the food was fresh, well prepared and delicious. The menu has great surprises and delicious choices. The oysters were perfect and the shrimp scrumptious. We devoured the key lime cheese cake. It was a bit cool at our table by end of our meal.

We had an amazing meal and experience. Our server, Michaela, was so attentive and friendly, she is top notch and had a friendly smile the entire time! Now the food…we started with the Steamed Red Shrimp, so juicy and sweet, it lived up to the “lobster-like” description! I had the Gnocchi and Chicken Confit, it was so tasty I ate every bite, and a plus, it’s locally made! Lastly, they have an extensive drink menu that will satisfy anybody. I highly recommend them and you won’t be disappointed if you try them out!

We all had the delicious Pit Beef sandwich with french fries and the huli huli chicken

My husband and I were excited to try Galene’s. If I had to sum it up I’d say it was different. I liked what they did with the place. They had outdoor seating and they added a space that was open air but under the roof which is where we ate. We started with this small plate of different breads including Italian, hush puppies and sweet molasses. I was impressed! We ordered garlic bread. It came grilled with butter and garlic. That’s like a magic combination! My husband ordered gnocchi and I ordered a hand basket of chicken tenders. When I asked my husband if he liked his meal the only answer was “it’s different”. The chicken tenders were fine, nothing out of the ordinary. I can’t forget about the view. It was beautiful! I would recommend you try Galene’s!

We have been coming to Galene ever since it opened, as this restaurant sits right on the lake and has beautiful views. Food here is always delicious, it is not an extensive menu, but I have my favorites that I rotate between. Love the garlic bread and coconut shrimp, plus the pork with pureed cauliflower. The blueberry Danish when they have it (might only be brunch now) is great, for dinner we have had to switch to a vanilla and caramel cake, also great. You can also sit on the patio and get a limited menu (self serve) and drinks from the outside bar. Plenty of dock space for boats. Great place to just relax and watch the scenery.

So very good. The customer service by Cassy and the rest of the crew that worked with her was superb. All servers were on point, from water and drinks to grabbing dirty plates, and providing extra napkins. The food was quick. It was nice to see management do the rounds, thanking us for coming in. Our meals were so delicious. We ordered the Vegetable Ceviche, Steamed Red Shrimp, Beets and Whipped Feta, Crab Cakes, and Norwegian Salmon. All were expertly prepared, the sauces were perfect, the tenderness of the crab cakes, and salmon was cooked perfectly. Yes, the Red shrimp is jumbo and tastes like lobster. They cooked them so perfectly they were light and juicy not overcooked and dry. For dessert, we got the Key Lime Cheesecake and decaf coffee. We truly enjoyed our experience and have already recommended to others. The prices are on par with fine dining before inflation. They do such a nice job with great prices. We look forward to coming back, sitting outside on the water, and trying new dishes. Thank you, Galene Team for the wonderful night.

Our party of four had a perfect meal at Galene. The crab cake appetizer was excellent, perfect sauce! We had a variety of entrees: Shrimp and Grits, Salmon, Steak and a pasta dish. Everyone was pleased, and our server was excellent and super sweet! The dining are was a bit noisy, but with so many folks there, how could it not be? Definitely coming again!
