    Another indelible, delectable dining experience at the Goldmoor Inn, Galena, Illinois, for this mother-daughters team. From Esme to Heather, the staff were warm and professional. The appetizers were delicious - gnocchi, and warm beets - the dirty martinis were magnificently dirty, the entrees were completely off the charts - venison ribeye, short ribs ramen, and Scottish salmon - and the desserts provided the perfect ending, along with a French press of decaf and heavy cream. With such a Christmas feast, 2025 can now be faced with courage and good humor.

    Romantic atmosphere, quiet, and comfortable. Polite staff including a table side conversation with the Owner. The food quality was excellent and presentation was impressive. Everyone made my wife and I feel like VIP’s! There isn’t one thing I can complain about. A very enjoyable experience.

    We had the beet salad, scallops, gnocchi, and beef Wellington. Each with unique and interesting ingredients and unexpected flavor combinations—like kimchi, apple pie filling and scallops. A combination that would make you shake your head and say no way, but it was so good! Best meal I’ve had in a long time. Wouldn’t change a thing accept to make the nice size portions bigger lol. My husband and I appropriately cleaned each plate with the wonderful bread. Highly recommend!

    All entrees are unique. Flavors are wonderful. Wait staff and owner are welcoming and attentive. The setting is beautiful. If you are in the Galena area and in the mood for a higher end meal experience, go!

    Service and food were excellent. Had some ZZ-top playing in the background which didn't fit the vibe -- but overall would recommend!

    We had made a reservation several weeks in advance. When we arrived (well in advance of our reservation) we were not seated in the main dining room but a backroom space. Had let them know it was our 25th wedding anniversary so thought we would be seated in a more formal area. The owner (I presume) was not very attentive to us as to others. The wait staff not only takes your order but is your bartender as well. So had to wait a little longer than usual. But our server was amazing despite this.
