Long time waterfront restaurant is a local favorite — Seared rare Ahi Tuna is a well-known favorite at the Galley Restaurant in Morro Bay. They serve it “naked” with a selection of light sauces on the side. We’ve eaten at the Galley for over 40 years. Love their fresh fish, great service and excellent wine list.
