    Chicken quesadilla with sour cream and salsa. Not spicy, but just right for a lunch.
    Matthew G.

    We were walking around Galena the later part of the morning and wanted to sit down and have something. The Courtyard is actually below street level in the middle of the DeSoto hotel. They serve breakfast and lunch until 1:00 and after a peak at the outside posted menu, it was a great decision. We were there after noon, knowing that we had until 1, but it was more than enough time to order, get our food and not be rushed to eat. Great light summer meal, attentive service, fair price for the ambiance of the historical hotel. We were staying somewhere else, but maybe here next time, and we can try their breakfast menu. I only have one little negative, where we sat was near the air-conditioning and it was really cool. But for the summer maybe that's what you want.

    Biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs.

    I had a really good breakfast here yesterday with my mom. The service was decent and I really enjoyed my biscuits and gravy with eggs. They only serve breakfast until 11, but I think they would definitely benefit from a later brunch menu. Either way, I would definitely come back here again for a solid meal to fuel up before a day of shopping.

    Good food, prices were in line with almost every other restaurant in Galena...high, which we expected.

    Staff were friendly and efficient. Menu had an above average selection of breakfast items and the house skillet was perfect.

    Not sure why they have a big sign that says Family friendly dining! Completely opposite of that and…read moreI will also disagree with the bloody Mary's. Not the best in town either. Family and I decided to check out galena for the first time and decided to check this place out since the galena brewing company was closed. Not sure why because the sign said open and it was 11:15 am. The food here was alright, wings didn't come out with the celery and we felt rushed. We asked for menus and he said we needed to wait till after 11 am! It was 11:15 am lol. Food is nothing to brag about, but it did the job after a 3 hour drive. I should've read the reviews before going into this place. Not a top choice if we go back. Be aware this place only takes cash and checks. No credit card payments. Found that out at the bar when I had to go pay my bill because the waiter didn't mention anything! Lady at the bar said the ATM is at the front. Terrible way to start a Galena visit. Here are some pictures of our food and hopefully this place has better management and nicer staff.

    With this restaurant being located in such a charming little town such as Galena, IL, I was a…read morelittle disappointed in the service. From the get go, the lady taking our order was in a bit of a rush. My family was with me and we had a couple questions regarding the menu. I felt that our server's response was abrupt and felt like she was brushing us off to get to the next customer. The food was meh. I mean it wasn't terrible but it was pretty basic. The hubby got a cheeseburger, my daughter got the grilled cheese meal, and I got the buffalo wings. The menu said that celery and carrot sticks came with my order but I just got the wings. When I was able to finally flag down our server to inquire about my veggie sticks and dressing, she said "oh we're out of those" and was about to walk off until I quickly asked her what about the ranch? She then quickly pointed to the little square ranch container that was in the middle of the table. I mean maybe offer other things to accommodate for what's missing or at least tell me that off the bat would have been nice. We pretty much just ate our food and was ready to go right after. The name Paradise Bar & Grill is an oxymoron as we did not feel like we were in paradise.
