Tucked away along the peaceful waterfront of New Suffolk, Minnow at the Galley Ho delivers a refreshingly casual yet elevated dining experience that seafood lovers and day-trippers alike will adore. With its breezy coastal charm and dockside views, this seasonal hotspot blends relaxed vibes with a menu full of locally inspired flavors.

The atmosphere is exactly what you want from a North Fork escape—nautical but understated, where sandals meet sophistication. Whether you're coming off the boat or stopping by after a vineyard tour, the welcoming patio and umbrella-shaded tables make this an idyllic spot for a lingering lunch or golden-hour dinner.

When it comes to food, Minnow doesn’t overcomplicate things—it lets the quality of the ingredients shine. Start with the peel-and-eat shrimp or local oysters on the half shell, both fresh, briny, and expertly served. The lobster roll is a standout—lightly dressed, generously packed, and nestled in a perfectly toasted bun. For something a bit heartier, the crispy fish sandwich with house-made slaw delivers bold texture and flavor.

Vegetarians aren’t left behind either—the heirloom tomato and burrata salad is a seasonal favorite, showcasing local produce in its purest form. Pair it all with one of their summer-ready cocktails—the Watermelon Daiquiri and Cucumber Gin Fizz are perfect for sipping as sailboats glide by in the background.

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, striking a balance between laid-back and attentive. Service is prompt, and the energy remains upbeat even during the dinner rush.

Whether you're planning a romantic sunset date, a chill hang with friends, or just need a break from the summer crowds, Minnow at the Galley Ho offers a slice of the North Fork that’s as authentic as it is delicious.
