    No mask enforcement, but tables spaced out well. Young waitress messed up our order. The food was mediocre.

We had 27 people in our party with a menu of salad bar, all you can eat fish and chicken, fries or baked potato. They had a table set up for our cakes and other party desserts. Very kind of them to do so. We had one of the back rooms which gave us privacy for the party. Our two servers, Nikki and Shelley, were exceptional. They made certain that we had a great time while never letting us get close to running out of food. The salad bar was well stocked and the house French is a must have. The hot foods were piping hot and fresh. Needless to say, we left with full stomachs and great memories. Would definitely recommend whether you have two people or a large party. I can't say enough good about The Galley.

First off we were told no baked potatoes for dinner services. And no apology or adjustment, just mediocre fries for a substitute. We ordered two catfish and one cod dinner. No real taste, had to salt all the fillets of fish just to have any flavor at all. The portion size was ok, but none of us ate more than one piece due to lack of flavor. $80 + was pricey for mediocre food. Tartar sauce tasted like plain mayo, salad bar was ok. One of our dinners was also supposed to have cole slaw which was missing completely. Biggest complaint was that the cod tasted suspiciously like pollock.

    Big Eyed Fish on Wells Street - when you have a craving for Fish & Stroh style fish and tarter…read moresauce Yes, I know that I could go to Stroh to get this old time flavor. However, Big Eyed Fish is pretty good fish in its own right, local...and flavored like the taste I remember from the past. We visited the Big Eyed Fish location on Well's street. They have an express shop located on Huegenard Road and another dine in location at Leo Crossing. This location has been in service since 2003. It has a nice diner feel with super friendly service. You can find parking on the street or in the lot behind the store. The inside is rather large and works well for parties up to about 8 diners. There is a small bar and TV's if that is your thing. They also have a big and varied menu including breakfast items. Here is a run down of the food items: -Fried Fish: the white fish fillet is thin and fried with a thin breading. The fish is moist and tender. It will flake apart with a fork or by hand. The breading has a slight amount of seasoning and isn't very oily to taste. It has a taste similar to the Fish & Stroh style if you are familiar with that. The fillets are not very filling. For an extra $3...I went with the all you can eat option. Delicious fish! -Tarter Sauce: I love tarter sauce. In fact I might order fish to go with my tarter sauce - lol. This mayo based sauce is reasonably thick, somewhat sweet and has a hint of pickle flavoring. It's creamy and makes a perfect complement to the fried fish flavor. -Baked Beans: this side really surprised me. The bean is small and contained hamburger pieces. The sauce had a slight BBQ flavor but not enough to classify it as a BBQ baked bean dish. The meat flavor was a nice add to the smooth tomato spiced sauce. Delicious!! -Cole Slaw: I kind of use KFC as the standard for Cole Slaw. This is very similar. The slaw pieces are cut very small with only one kind of slaw. Seemingly no additives - just slaw. The sauce is mayo based, a bit more sweet along with a hint of vinegar. I loved this side too! -Hush Puppies: these balls are pretty small in diameter. The inside is very modista and sweet with that southern style corn bread taste. The outside is thicker, a bit oily to taste and has a mild corn bread taste/texture. These are probably some of the best hush puppies I've had in my southern raised life.

    So good since we've lost Famous Fish of Stroh this is easily the best fish in town! Always good…read moreand the onion rings

    We were in Fort Wayne for a quick overnight business trip where my wife and I decided to try Oyster…read moreBar after some locals raved about it . As a seafood lover, I was sold just based on the name alone The building itself is pretty cool. We were told it dates back to the 1880s and is the 2nd oldest building in Indiana behind some other one in Indianapolis. You can definitely feel the history when you walk in. The place is small, with only about 14 tables, and everything is packed in pretty tight, but that's part of what gives it character. The old bar immediately grabbed my attention and looked like it hadn't changed much in over a century We started with the Parmesan baked oysters, which were outstanding and surprisingly fresh for being in the Midwest The homemade clam chowder was loaded with clams and flavor. It was so good it didn't need anything added to it. We also ordered a couple of smoked Old Fashioneds that were a great way to start the night I wanted sea bass, but they were out, so I went with the walleye fish and chips. It's honestly hard for me to pass up fish and chips when they're on a menu, I'm glad I did. The fish was well-seasoned and on point My wife went with a seafood combo that included seafood au gratin, bay scallops, shrimp, crab, applewood bacon risotto, and baked in a lobster creamy sauce Being in Fort Wayne for just one night, this ended up being a great find. The food was excellent, the service was friendly (Shoutout Lindsay) and the whole place had a nostalgic feel that made the experience even better If you're passing through and in the mood for seafood or live locally, I'd definitely recommend checking it out!

My husband has potato soup also and loved it.

The fish was extremely greasy -- to the point that it was basically inedible and honestly made me feel sick to my stomach afterward. The onion rings were just okay and nothing special. The coleslaw was also concerning because it came out room temperature. It seemed like the merchandiser doors where it's stored may not have been fully closed, which definitely didn't inspire confidence in the food handling. The most unfortunate part of the visit was that our waitress, Marilyn, appeared completely run ragged. Because of that, we didn't really receive attentive service -- though it was hard to tell whether she was overwhelmed or just not very friendly. Either way, it didn't add to the experience. The seating arrangements in the bar area is family style, if you're not keen on sitting elbow to elbow with complete strangers, this probably isn't the dining room option for you. Overall, I won't be returning.

We were hosting a special guest visiting from China, so we really wanted the evening to be perfect, and Copper Spoon delivered on every front. The food and drinks were outstanding across the board. We started with fresh oysters and delicious house breads, and our main courses--specifically the ribeyes and the salmon--were cooked to absolute perfection. As great as the food was, the absolute highlight of our evening was our waitress, Kate. She went exceptionally above and beyond to make sure our experience was nothing short of wonderful. Her attentive service, warm hospitality, and professionalism truly elevated the entire night for our group. If you're looking for an unforgettable meal with top-tier service in Fort Wayne, go to Copper Spoon and ask to sit in Kate's section. Highly recommended!

My husband ordered a burger. He really enjoyed his, & I enjoyed the martini-- I'm not vegan, so the fact that I didn't enjoy the dish was a personal issue, not on the restaurant. It was beautiful & had depth of flavor, it just wasn't to my liking. I wish there had been a few more options on the menu for food. Overall, the ambience was lovely & the restaurant is beautiful inside. Would return for another dining experience... I just know to avoid this dish on my second try!
