In 1974, George and his wife Joan ventured out to what was then considered the country. They found the perfect location on the shores of Diamond Lake. A great deal has changed since then, but our commitment to service and great food hasn’t. We welcome you to visit and see what’s new. It’s the Gale Street you love and remember with a more comfortable and updated atmosphere. Come for your favorite dishes prepared by our award-winning chef and stay for the sunset, a good cocktail, and many more memories to be made.

    We do the early dinner between 4-5pm as we want to enjoy each other's conversation without talking over others. Plus you can actually hear the beautiful music playing. Food is fantastic and so worth the price. Staff are so energetic, friendly, helpful, and since we go early enough we can actually talk with our server and get to know them a little. Makes the evening so pleasurable. A great neighborhood gem.

    My wife and I celebrated her birthday on a Tuesday night. She had the halibut and I had frutti di mare. The halibut, which I had on a previous visit, was a large portion which was expertly prepared. Actually the best we've ever had. My dish was filled with large portions of seafood including large chunks of crab legs. Delicious!! Our dinner was capped off with a complimentary desert. The food was great and the service was outstanding.

    It was a lovely lunch. It's a very pretty restaurant. The food was good and the service was good also. We liked the menu and will be back to also try some other options. WE had the crispy vegetarian rolls, the chicken dumplings and the tuna tartar. I think the rolls were our favorite. Also the speical shaken teas from the bar were really great!
