Overall, very good experience. Le Galet has a waiting area where you can order drinks while you wait for your table. And it’s even closer to the water than the dinner tables. Very smart. We didn’t order anything though because our table was ready quickly. Lovely table with a great view of a rising full moon that was just stunning. Live music played the entire time we were there. Instrumental jazz mix of French and American music.

The service was good, but due to communication mishaps somehow I ended up with 2 pasta dishes. Despite knowing exactly what I ordered, I paid for both because I tasted the one I ordered (Cacio e Pepe) and didn’t like it so I said I wanted to keep the other one (next one on menu - red sauce pasta with burrata).

When the bill came we realized we had been paying for our bottles of flat water. I understand paying for sparkling water but we didn’t request bottled water for the non-sparkling and would have been happy with tap. They were in these cute bottles that I assumed were just different presentation than your typical carafe. There was no seal so it wasn’t obvious they were “bottled” water and there is no way of knowing they weren’t just opening the top and adding tap water. I expect there to be some hiccups lost in translation at some point when traveling outside my own country but haven’t experienced it quite like this at any of the other restaurants I’ve eaten at over the past 2 weeks. We speak intermediate level French and our server spoke about the same level of English. One star deducted for what ended up being a pretty expensive miscommunication that could have been better shared between customer and business. (About 40 euros with the unwanted water and pasta.) The place is not getting 5 stars on the food side either. It was good but not great. Had a better salad at Le Cocodile. Had way better pasta in many places. You go here for the ambiance. That was 5 stars so enjoy it for that!
