The food was incredible, and the service was even better! It’s pricey, but I’ll be back on special occasions. A wine club and tasting is a major draw, however we just went there for the food. So glad we did.

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

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.
