Good food and service Getting pricy for dinner and a bottle of wine One salmon portion was nice the other kind of small for $35 Automatic gratuity of20% added to bill for party of six. I’m fine with 20% if service is good but to start at20% seems wrong. What if service is bad, can you ask them to reduce the gratuity? On top of that they at 4% if you want to use a credit card. For upscale pricy restaurants with higher margin, charging to use your credit card seems excessive to me

The service was very good. The steaks were a bit pricey but excellent. The salad was prepared with a lettuce that was shaped like coral and it was too bitter, I would prefer a different variety of at least a blend. Currently my number one choice for a restaurant.

We were there for a girls weekend and my sister in laws birthday. We’ve been before. Exceptional service, had a reservation (highly recommend), sat immediately. We had drinks, mussels, steak, sea bass and chicken Marsala. Loved the bread and house salad included with our meals. Topped off with a birthday dessert on the house. Everything was excellent, we’ll be back.

Came here for an anniversary and they did not disappoint. I marked that our reservation was for an anniversary and after letting the host know the name, he wished us a happy anniversary. We were sat near the window and they set out a little sign that said “happy anniversary”! Such a simple but amazing touch. The food was fantastic as well. The bread may have been the fluffiest I have ever tasted and the salad was delicious. We got the salmon bruschetta and spinach tortellini and they were both phenomenal! It was our first time visiting. I’m sure we will be back to Galena and we will be getting a reservation here every time we visit for sure. Definitely a must try! Thank you for providing us with such a wonderful anniversary dinner!
