The Galleon
$$$-$$$$, Eclectic, St. Croix
User Rating: ** 2.2
Fodor's Review:
This popular dockside restaurant is always busy. Start with the Caesar salad or perhaps a flaky layered duck napoleon. The chef's signature dish is a tender filet mignon topped with fresh local lobster. Pasta lovers should sample the linguine with grilled salmon, toasted hazlenuts, cherry tomatoes, and a Frangelico cream sauce. Take Route 82 out of Christiansted; then turn left at the sign for Green Cay Marina.

Overpriced and Not worth it
Posted by ccrosner from Boston on 3/9/08
We don't mind spending good money for a great meal at a superb location. The Galleon offers neither. And the time between our appetizer and our dinner was an hour. Far too much. The Caesar salad is delicious but the rest of our meals were just good. But it was the most expensive meal of our 9 nights on St. Croix. The atmosphere isn't worth the price either. Once the sun goes down and you can't see the marina, you are just in a 1970's decor room. Really disappointing. We gave it a second try this year but, for our money, we'll return to Bacchus and Kendricks instead.RATING: 2.4

If you like bad acoustics with way too loud conversations and way overpriced but only average food, the Galleon is the place for you. The food was fine, but not $100 apiece fine. The service was ok, but not 20% ok. The ambience was the biggest turnoff. The loudest group of one-uppers Ive ever had to try to ignore at a dinner table. My yachts bigger then your yacht . A good illustration: the busboy tipped over an ice bucket, and a group at a nearby table laughed and applauded him. Another round of humiliation on me. If you go to restaurants for nice food and atmosphere, do yourself a favor and find another place. Kendricks food is every bit as good and $50 cheaper and a lot nicer clientele.RATING: 2.0
