Lobster Galley — Restaurant in South Haven

This place is under new ownership and they are still figuring things out, so I won’t be too harsh. We were a party of 15 last Sunday, and I have to say the two servers, who split the table between them, rose to the challenge. Excellent service, attentive without being annoying. The menu, however, doesn’t offer a lot of choice. Every kind of lobster dish, from salads to sandwiches to pasta, is on offer, most for $30 or more. In addition there is one burger, one vegetable pasta, and one- or two-piece fish and chips, , which I ordered (one piece of fish for $19, I think.) The fries were the coated variety, not too bad, but the fish wasn’t great. A thick batter coating, most of which I left on the plate, and the haddock was dry and tasteless. I would have like to see a scallop dish on offer, but they were only available as part of a special dish: 8-ounce steak and scallops with mussel appetizer for an eye-watering $49. I hope they’re able to develop a more varied menu soon. Oh, and the teeny, tiny slice of the highly-touted key lime did not rate the $12 price tag. There was a singer performing that night, so it was difficult to hear ourselves. He was excellent, however, and sang up every song we knew, so we...

If you’re looking for a mosquito-free place to watch the sun set over the South Gut, this restaurant offers beautiful views. The staff is friendly and the decor is exactly what you’d expect and want in a waterfront seafood eatery. The food however leaves much to be desired. For $91.92 (after tax), we got a fair-to-small sized cut of Salmon, some steamed frozen-not-fresh flavourless carrots & parsnips, and two scoops of strangely desiccated and cold mashed potatoes. We also had a small cup of chowder and a soft drink.

To cap the meal off, there was a very drunk older woman sat directly behind us that kept yelling and berating her husband with a string of swearing and homophobic slurs that was frankly, quite impressive, but perhaps belongs at a pub and not a family restaurant. The staff just ignored it and let her go on until she got bored and left. Hardly the fault of the Restaurant, but definitely a detractor of the experience as a whole that could have been dealt with by a manager or owner.

Definitely not the romantic birthday dinner we had planned for my wife while visiting the east coast for the first time.

Mediocre food in a Gorgeous location. “Come for the view,...

First and last... have been around the food service industry for nearly 40 years. Have driven past this place for most of my life on a weekly basis. Have often heard stories, some bad, and of course, some good. Decided to give it a try before continuing on our drive. Ordered 2 piece fish and fries. At $17.99 I figured the serving would be beyond most places. Wish I had taken a photo now. Anyway, the fish I have to say was delicious. The portions were atrocious. The two piece fish was actually one regular portion at another normal restaurant, but not here they cut the single serving in half and made it a 2 piece. Throw in a very small handful of fries and you still leave, with an almost empty stomach. But $17.99, come on people. You folks need to step it up a notch. You Can't compete if you're not in the contest.!! The restaurant was pretty much empty, in the middle of a hot summer day, with loads of traffic going by.??, that should be your first clue, that something we're doing isn't right or isn't working. Staff were doing their best. Hard to work and put out quality and consistency, when operators are penny pinching and don't realize they are only hurting their...
