Had dinner here tonight. The service was great. The food was fantastic. We had the Smoked Salmon Toast and the Peel and Eat shrimp as appetizers. Both were really good the shrimp were super tender and the garlic butter is delicious. We both had the filet (deconstructed beef Wellington). Really good. Heads up, they do not cook the beef to your desired temperature, you get it how they cook it. It came out just about medium, which is how we like it, so it was perfect. We had the butterscotch pudding and the key lime cheesecake for desert. They were great too. Absolutely nothing to complain about here. If there was one thing...it was a Sunday and the menu is limited on Sundays. No big deal, there were plenty of options. Good beer list and the cocktails were good too. If you have never been here, it is right on the water too, so great views. Recommended!! read more

A lovely space with a lovely view. An exceptional young waiter. A dirty menu. Disappointing food. Won't be back. A shame. read more

Went here for dinner one night there was a great atmosphere and good food for a reasonable price. We got the mussels as an appetizer it was delicious. We got the blackened shrimp and salmon for entrées both very good. Although at first we thought the portions look small we were actually full. We then got the blueberry dessert really delicious. Our only complaint was that the busser kept clearing our plates before we were done. It was actually really awkward because we kept trying to take the plates back. Can she relax maybe? Jesus, was on the verge of telling the owner how relentless she was to take my plate! Regardless, we will definitely be going back! read more

Excellent food and the service was great. The food came out super quick and tasted SO good. Our server are great recommendations

Went and checked this place out today for a drink! Glad they were able to keep a restaurant in this location and reopened something new! Right on the water - you can't beat the view! read more

Excellent service (Morgan)! The food was terrific...who does Red Snapper fire their Beer Battered Fish? Galene does and wow! The Pit Beef was chosen by three of our party also the Fried Green Tomato Sandwich and the Pork Rib Eye were all top notch! I'm not big on dessert but I'm glad I had the Orange Creme Brulee. We'll be back! read more

We sat outside and ordered food from the walk up window. The girl helping us was so rude! She definitely did not enjoy her job or have any clue about customer service. My husband and I were looking forward to a relaxing dinner with a lovely view but it was tainted by this staff member and a loose German Shepard wandering around urinating on the tables and chairs around us. We won't be back. read more

Went to the bar for a drink and light food. The counter was a mess and the bartenders were awful. One scowled the entire time and never acknowledged us and the other kept checking her phone. We ended up leaving after about a half hour with the counter still a mess and never being waited on for food and it wasn't crowded. Used to enjoy this place but not sure we will return again. Disappointing!!! read more

What a pleasant surprise--wonderful view of Lake Conesus (only kidding about that putting Lake first makes it sound so much larger!) matched by a menu that is interesting and creative, plus the food was first rate. Our server John) had to explain many elements of the menu and preperation, but he was so good at it. The portions were over size (for me) and the price was affordable. A pleasant surprise because it's a very tony looking establishment. We waited so long for this place to open up again. The previous owners failed to ignite any sparks. But Galene is on the map to be a big hit this summer for sure. Can't wait to return. read more

This was a terrible experience. Server had no information for our questions. No substititions??!!?? Wanted fries instead of grits. Nope . Was told no. Wanted to order a meal Togo and was told kitchen was closed. An hour and a half before closing. Very poorly run. read more

Went there the first time since it was Hook and Spoon. Hostess seemed unorganized. Wasnt clear what they wanted from us? After a several minutes of waiting to hear if they had a table or if we had to wait nothing but still not even eye contact. We then asked if we could sit at a hi top in the bar area and they said that would be fine. After waiting for about ten minutes I asked if the hi tops had service or if we had to order at the bar and was told they would get someone to wait on us. Another 10 minutes of waiting we left! Wont be going back read more

Heard good things and very much looked forward to coming to Galene. We were absolutely floored! The plates may seem small at first glance- but we left absolutely stuffed. We started with the mushroom arancini which was absolutely divine. They were hearty and earthy yet somehow still light. The sauce/compote they were served over complemented the arancini perfectly. I ordered the Cajun shrimp- the grill on these was utter perfection. Again, paired beautifully with everything else on the plate. My husband ordered the pork ribeye which was just out of this world. I am not a fan of pork but this was mind boggling. Hands down the best pork I have ever tasted in my life. Also ordered the wok sesame broccoli which was just to die for. This place is a gem on the lake- a complete culinary experience. We will absolutely be back- again and again and again! Thank you, Galene, for a wonderful experience and impeccable food! read more

The food was excellent and server was pleasant and efficient. A couple of suggestions: -The bartender had her extended family at the bar including a young baby and a toddler, very cute but listening to a baby squealing for it's mother does not make for a relaxed dinning experience. -When the check arrived it had a credit card surcharge added. This is highly unusual and on top of a $225 dinner seemed a bit petty. I have dined nationally and internationally for over 40 years and have only encountered this practice once before. I'm sure smartly run establishments have found ways to offset credit card fees. read more

My wife and I went to Galene's in Lakeville for our anniversary dinner. We both chose the petit filet for our main course after sharing a skewered chicken appetizer and found the tastes very delicious and the beef very tender. The seating allowed a great view of Conesus lake as well. Service was good and We were overall pleased. read more

Just had a wonderful meal with my husband. It was cold and snowing and we were seated in the front by the gas wall lights. So cozy, watching the geese and ducks come in to the lake to roost for the night! There was such a great variety on the menu, which by the way, is being revamped. The food was so well seasoned, and presentation was beautiful. Our waiter John was very knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. Courses arrived in a timely manner. Pricing was so reasonable. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal! read more

Brought to you by the people who brought us Embers, just down the road. And that's why we gave it a try. This place has been beautifully remodeled, sits on the lake. It has a great bar, with a very competent and innovative bartender. We were served by Mackenzie, a charming and enthusiastic individual who was helpful and knowledgeable. This was our second time here in three weeks. everything was so good our first time that we ordered entirely diffent items this time. Except for the garlic toast. We absolutely wanted that again.I had a pound of red shrimp, tender, sprinkled with paprika, to be dipped in garlic butter. And the smashed cauliflower potato side with a deep, flavorful gravy. my daughter had the wok broccoli, outstanding, my wife pepper skewers. We forced ourselves to try the blueberry, and the key lime desserts. I don't usually bother with dessert, but these were both exceptional. We have some good restaurants in Canandaigua, but Galene is well worth the ride. read more

If you go out to the lake side you have to go to the far end of the building to order your food and leave your phone number so you can go pick up your food yourself. Plus your doing everything and they have enough nerve to set out a tip cup. If you want a drink you have to go to the other side of the building to get it. Plus the food is not good and not cheap.
