    As usual the food is excellent. Prices are a bit higher but quality is worth it. And excellent service and space. Our group if 7 were by themselves and stayed over the time limits without a nudge. We enjoyed ourselves immensely

    One of my favorite places in Galena. Food and service are always phenomenal! We had a reservation for Valentine's dinner. Our table was beautifully set and ready when we arrived. Jody was very attentive and took very good care of us.
