The Galley Restaurant and Lounge

The Galley Restaurant and Lounge, home to Setsunai Noodle Bar, brings a unique culinary experience to Lopez Island in Washington State's San Juan Islands. Founded by Chef Josh Ratza in Spring 2017, this beloved establishment has evolved from its original location to occupy the iconic Fisherman Bay Road spot formerly known as The Galley. The restaurant operates two distinct menus from one kitchen, offering both the signature Setsunai ramen bowls and classic American tavern fare. Open Wednesday through Sunday from 11:30am to 8:30pm, with lunch service from 11:30am to 2:30pm and dinner from 4:30pm to 8:30pm, The Galley welcomes guests on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations needed. The full bar operates from 11:30am until close, extending to midnight on Friday and Saturday evenings. Diners can enjoy their noodles and drinks with breathtaking views of Fisherman Bay, creating an unforgettable island dining experience. The restaurant strongly emphasizes locally sourced ingredients and maintains partnerships with regional farms to showcase Washington's seasonal produce. A retail section offers the popular Elevated Instant Ramen cookbook for $18 and signature Setsunai Noodles Graphic Tees for $25, allowing guests to take a piece of the experience home.
