    This is one of our favorite places in Galena. I had the "Espresso Steak" with a side of Seared Scallops. It was awesome!! my wife had the "Just A Plain Filet" and she was very happy with it as well. We really have never had a bad option on the menu and we have been here with family and friends or just a quiet Date Nite for the two of us. It's always been a solid place to go for a great meal.

    Our waitress was so friendly and always smiling. Very attentive as well. Food was outstanding as usual. Our new favorite starter is the sweet chili shrimp - so good.

    As usual, superior food, service, and ambiance. It continues to be the best Galena has to offer. We will return again and again. Our compliments to the Chef, the kitchen staff, the servers, and of course, the owner, Fred Bonnet for another excellent dining experience. Our reservation was easily made and handled through OPEN TABLE. Thank you, Jerry & Kelly
