    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.

    We have eaten here many times. No longer living in the area but make it a point to come here when we are in town. Service and atmosphere were great. Food was great. Ribeye was perfectly cooked and the Sea Bass, mmmm. Price for the area is in the mid to upper end where it belongs. Definitely recommend and we will be back.
