Nice little Cafe, good and unusually inexpensive food (for the location). However, be worn! if you are (like myself) not white and dont leave in the multy million dollars neighborhood, people will be looking at you and probably judge you. It made me uncomfortable.

The chili cheese omelets are excellent and prepared consistently as Ive visited this restaurant many times in previous years. The quality of the food never changes; which is something to look forward to each time I visit. The chili and cheese are mixed inside the omelet, which makes it memorable. The hashbrowns are fresh and the way they are prepared makes them stand out far and above other restaurants. Staff are friendly. The restaurant is small and feels cozy in what is normally a very busy and bustling metropolitan area. The restaurant is within sight of a marina on the ocean so there is always a nice view while eating. One thing to note, you will often find a line to get in due to the popularity.

Great local eatery. Someone needs to know about this place and recommend it to you. We were vacationing in Balboa Island and heard about it from locals. Definitely the place to go eat for breakfast. Great menu. great prices, and easy parking at the end of Harbor Island Drive. Terrific prices and breakfast items. I had the two eggs over, hash browns, and bacon. My wife also had eggs and toast. You can always find other nice people to mingle and chat with there. It is small seating in booths limited and a long counter. We squeezed in at the long counter. Used to have outside park benches to eat at--removed due to Covid19. Enjoy good home cooking and terrific service. Highly recommend this place.

I grew up in Newport Beach, so I went there so many times growing up when Myrtle and Eddie were running the place 50 plus years ago, it was like going back in time. I had the tuna melt and it was just as delicious now as it was then. ❤❤❤

Awesome food and staff. Traveling from Ohio and very glad to have a great meal. Beautiful views of the waterfront and boats.

We are so fortunate to have this resultant just a few minutes away from home. The galley is a local restaurant with great service, food, and overall experience! Definitely a go-to place for breakfast when you are in Newport Beach ! Huge variety of breakfast to choose from & side dishes are delicious as well.

Local hangout for 60+ years. Breakfast burritos look amazing. The burgers are great! Staff is super friendly. Its small inside so expect a wait.

A small place with very good food and service. I was with my wife and sister inlaw and everyone enjoyed it. The place was very busy.

We love this little jewel by the marina and the food is consistently good. There is a need for a bit of a face-lift on the inside right now.

This spot is a little hidden but so perfect!! The food was great, the service was fabulous... Definitely would recommend to anyone... Prices were very good first the pocket also...

Great breakfast! This is where the locals hang out. Authentic diner with actual functioning soda fountain. Great homemade country fried steak. Average biscuits and gravy. Great pancakes. Average French Toast. Nicely seared hash browns. Nicely seared corned beef hash. Eggs Benedict is average. Excellent bacon. Excellent breakfast sandwich. Weak coffee.

Love this little hidden gem! An original little 50s type Diner, no frills just good food, good service and a great view of the harbor!

My kind of restaurant. Great food with an old fashioned 1950s field. Even play 50s music. Check out the pictures. Especially the one about the teenagers. LOL. You need to be patient and wait for a seat but its well worth it. Coffee could be a bit stronger, but heck its a diner. 😋

Ham & cheese omelet with hash browns. Plenty of food, cooked perfectly. Great breakfast.

Let just talk about some thing little like hashbrowns. I had the best hashbrowns how do you make them so crispy...

Went there for breakfast today. Felt like I had traveled in time back to the 1950s! Super cute place, right on the harbor. Complete with a soda fountain and counter service with cheerful employees.I ordered a simple two-egg breakfast. The bacon was cooked perfectly, and the hash browns were nice and crisp. Corned beef hash nice and crispy.Well definitely be back!

Very Good - authentic diner & food. Went for a late breakfast. Family had Meat Lovers and Chili Cheese Omelet, Sausage Gravy and biscuit. Really liked the Hash Browns. Hot Cakes are huge. Nice service and setting.

AMAZING food was great service was awesome. The place was clean and super friendly while still holding on to its old world charm. I really really enjoyed it. The Greek omelet was wonderful.

Very nice off the beaten path. Very cool place must check out if visiting Newport Beach

I think they officially opened the day before for to go orders only. Breakfast was amazing, just as good as it always was & they have hand sanitizer for after you sign your receipt. The staff is friendly (as they always are) and our food was ready pretty fast. Cant wait to go back this weekend!

Nice people, good food, kind of small so you might have to wait.

The food was ok. It was a typical greasy soon kind of place. The servers acted like they didnt give a **** if I was there or not. Maybe this is typical for coastal orange county?Edit: they have outdoor seating. Just fyi for those of you who find that important

Great food and good atmosphere! Love coming here every year.

Wonderful local Cafe with a super tasty burger, fantastic, friendly service, and talkative locals!

This restaurant is a must if you’re in the area! It’s fun and retro, the food was great and the service was even better! The environment is fun and it’s right off the marina so the view is nice too!

Very small diner at the Marina. Go before 8.00 or you will have to wait to be seated. Fantastic pancakes!Friendly staff!

This place is great, would highly reccomend if you are in the Newport area. I wish there were more seafood options on the menu, especially being so close to the water. But still this place is great and is a breath away from getting 5-stars from me.

3.5 stars. Great ambience and service. Old school. Good solid breakfast.Enjoyed the breakfast burrito this am !

Always delicious and awesome staff! I really do love this little 💎 gem!

Nice Homey place to have breakfast. Ordered the veggie omelette with avocado and pico de gallo. The ratio of veggies to egg was great; more veggies than egg and that was yummy!

Awesome local diner.. Fun friendly staffGreat food

Classic diner with good food. I got bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns. The bacon and hashbrowns were very crispy - just how I like them! I walked to the cafe from the main road; the houses along the way were beautiful and the view from the cafe was also nice.

I love this place, it is a cute little diner on the water. The staff is super friendly and the crowd is always filled with nice people. Lots of yummy food!

The galley has been in Newport beach since the 50s.. John Wayne used to eat here when he lived in Newport.. Weekends are very crowded, recommend that you go during the week..

Very cool tiny place at the end of the street. Solid breakfast place. I’d go back again.

Good good & friendly service at reasonable prices!

It was OK, but just ok Im handicapped she sat us outside, and the asked us to move to another table, waitress a bit scattered. Biscuits n gravy were good eggs Benny were just OK, but the chocolate shake was great, but not enough to be inspired to go back really.

Great service, great food! Dont love eating with dogs brought to restaurant! Not everyone loves to be watched by a begging dog!

Love their food and service!! Cant wait to be back!

Fun on the marina. Foods good too.

This is a nice little gem 💎 of a cafe tucked away in Corona Del Mar. we usually visit here on Saturday morning for a nice healthy breakfast and view of the harbor. 😎🇺🇸

This place is very popular and busy. Wonderful staff. Super friendly and attentive. Id give 5 stars for service. Taste and authenticity Id give a 2. Youd be guillotined for serving these breads, and pastries in France. Quality/taste is supermarket grade at best, and doesnt tadte scratch baked. Almost like its made with commercial frozen dough. ( or just a bad recipe) If youre looking for a local friendly joint for coffee etc. Its great. If youre a foodie, look elsewhere.

The chili cheese omelette is out of this world ! Simple. Old school.

The food,Ive had better...in Fresno, a hole in the wall. The food tasted like it was fried in 7 day old used grease,the service was subpar and my waitress was unattentive she brown nosed the regulars but was short and rude with new guests, when I asked for condiments and the check she literally flung them in my direction. I still left a 20% tip, but it was really for the other waitress that kept my coffee mug full. They

Loved it. small diner. Good food

Great staff, excellent food, wonderful view of the boats. Can’t wait to go back!

Mmmm, this place is excellent, wish I could go inside!! Omelettes are excellent, especially with a gold hash brown, both in hearty size portions!!! Constant good tasting coffee refills, and all the extras at thee table.Definite 5 star.Thanks

Haven’t even greeted us service over all is very poor.

Ive been coming here since I was a kid. The food is just as good as it ever was!

3.5 Star, very nice location, great ambiance. The service was great, very professional, smiling, polite & helpful. The menu simple, classic and prices on the plus side of the average! Breakfast was good, hot and classic old diner.

A more beautiful setting you cant find. Still a kind of secret place. Home style cooking.

Always a line on the weekends.Fun little diner over looking the boats. Good food. 10 tables & stools around a counter.Great prices!

Excellent outdoor dining. Chili cheese omelet unmatched anywhere in Newport Coast area!

Disappointing. Staff was rude from the moment we checked in. Pancakes were rubbery. Hamburger patties were frozen. Portions were small. The fries were overcooked (time to change the dirty fry oil).You will find better food at Denny’s...McDonald’s serves a better breakfast. Seriously, how can you serve an English muffin as hard as a hockey puck?A member of our party spilled a drink and we were offered 3 napkins to clean up the mess. Really?Plan on reusing your straws when you get a refill.I can go on but it’s doesn’t get any better.The restaurant is located amongst the yachts in New Port. Maybe the owners would do better as bait shop.

I have been eating there for 50 years and they are doing a great job under the cirumstances.

Great service! Good food and fabulous view.

Great location, a ton of history, didnt eat here yet but great looking diner.

This is a hidden jem... Great views.. good food..among huge houses...try the banana..pecan .. pancakes..mmm

This is the spot! You can catch me here almost every sunday after my morning doobie.

Great service and nice atomosphere, food was so so.

Hidden away in the harbor so its a great local place to eat lunch if you are close by.

The cutest little old school diner in all of the OC.

The Galley is a favorite of mine for breakfast. Great servers and menu! They are handling this covid thing with style. I love this place❣

Great food!

Nothing special diner. Kind of pricey.

We had a lovely breakfast on picnic tables in the parking lot. Staff all wore masks. Had a water view. Just what we were looking for.

The worst eggs Benedict ever

Terrible service. Waste of time

My clients and I were trying to decide on a place for lunch. I asked them if they would like to go retro and visit a place off the beaten path that has been owned and operated by the same family for over 50 years. They were interested. We went to the Galley Cafe located inside the Balboa Yacht Basin Marina off Harbor Island Drive, had a great lunch and experience.

I loved it, so nice !!!!!

Great food nice place to stop in and sit for a spell

Hidden gem! Great people. Been eating hear since the early 1990s as a kid with my family. Still the same place that I remember it from my first trip there. Next to the boats in the marina. Always good food and coffee and a great place to just meet up with friends or family or get some time alone to read the news paper (or boat classifieds). If your alone, feel free to skip the line and check for a seat at the bar. Friendly service and a staple of Newport Beach.

The Gallery Cafe is an extremely busy place especially around lunch time. Its the only restaurant around its area. Its rated High because the food is good the service is excellent and the ambience is very quaint and cute. Its set up a lot like a 50s Cafe on the inside but looks a little bit like a fishermans Shack on the outside. Chicken breast sandwich and my brother had the chili cheese burger both were well-cooked and delicious. I think you would enjoy this restaurant if your out and about in Newport.

We loved it. First come, first served - so no wait list, but a line. Two-tops, counter seating, and then larger booths for four and more. Food was great. In and out within an hour. We arrived smack-dab in the middle of what you would imagine to be rush hour (11:15 on a Sunday morning).

Very cozy little place.. however the food wasn’t that great. Syrup tasted old.. toast came out with no butter on it.. butter on the table was cold.. coffee was below average.. and the bacon was cheap precooked, then overcooked and fell apart in your hands.On vacation and disappointed we came here...

Always good food! Love the outdoors dining experience now!

My food was good...but not my friends. All tables open for seating, not 6 feet apart. That was very disturbing.

This place is wonderful, situated right on the water with amazing views and overly kind staff. The atmosphere was cheerful and like a small town diner. The food was absolutely delicious and the perfect amount. The pricing was average for this area, with my Mediterranean omelet, toast, and hash browns costing $10. I will definitely be coming back here!

Hidden Gem. A small diner located next to the dock. Reminds you of an old soda fountain. Great breakfast, sandwiches and shakes. The place seats about 30 People including the counter so it can get crowd during breakfast, lunch and dinner hours. Best to go early or in between meals.

Wholesome authentic 50s diner. With great breakfast and shakes. Highly recommend the om-which.

Amazing people and Great Food!!!

Excellent food and delicious shakes. Small and cozy, which is charming but meant kind of a long wait. A little pricey (to an out-of-towner anyway), but worth it.

The food was good and the service was very friendly. The view was beautiful.

Delicious breakfasts...crispy hash browns and I love their chili cheese omelets. The wait staff are all great, and fun! Weve been coming here for 33 years and look forward to introducing our grandson to Myrtles!

Small and busy place, but delicious food! Staff was very friendly. Sat at the counter and our neighbors were friendly. Great portions, had left overs. Burrito was amazing and flavorful. All the food being served looked to die for. Will be coming here again.

Great atmosphere, great food. Friendly service.

Malted milk shakes are amazing!

This restaurant was packed with locals. I ordered a chili cheese dog and they gave me hot dogs cut in half on a burger bun... not what I expected. The food was just okay, but the people working there were very friendly.

Wasnt impressed at all. Very overpriced, ordered basic eggs and bacon, hashbrowns, one pancake. My son ordered french toast sandwich/ with sausage. Took home a burger for husband. $48 was way too high I felt.Just plain no taste food and the soda was awful! They make each soda their own. Needless to say, I will buy be back. There employees were nice and did their jobs. Good service.

Love this place!! Great food, Excellent service!! Love Adrian! He remembers my niece from Reno, NV when shes down visiting! It means so much to me!!💖

Awesome

Old fashion ambiance with exceptional, personable service. Take a step back in time to the simpler good ol days!

I just wanted straight up breakfast at a locals kind of place. Found it! Staff was attentive and nice. Food was good and served hot. Place had a nice homey vibe. Nice setting. Highly recommend. For what it is, probably the best meal I had in Newport Beach.

Excellent breakfast sandwhich - the Om-which. Loved the corned beef hash I got on the side as well. Highly recommend.

Good enough for John Wayne good enough for me to. Excellent chocolate malts. Definitely old school. Established 1957. This is the old Newport Beach that I love.

This has become my favorite place for breakfast. When we arrived there was a line. But because of the view and the amazing owners keeping us informed, the wait was easy. After we were seated we were given the best service we have ever received. Looking at the other tables they had the same type of service. The food was amazing. This is the perfect way to start the day. I hope to do this again soon. Thank you

Tried and true. No surprises. Always great food and service!

Cozy, by the marina, good food, nice people. Had breakfast there couple times and loved it

One of my personal favorite breakfast spots! This is definitely a hidden gem within the Newport Beach community. The staff is always friendly and the service is on point!

Tasty breakfast offerings, but like everything in this isolated area its expensive.Be aware, parties of five are levied an auto-tip of 18 percent. Still a great place for last minute shopping at attached shops.
