    Steak & Frites
    Hayley P.

    Delicious food, drinks and fresh oysters. What more could you want? I highly recommend the steak & frites as an entree. The steak was cooked perfectly and the frites had the perfect crisp. We will definitely be back to Galene's!

    The ambiance of this place is modern and super cozy but also fancy. Loved sitting in here. I was on a date so I didn't even try any of the bread because he wasn't eating it and I didn't want to look like a fatso. Big mistake, wish I tried it. It looked really good. We both enjoyed the oysters. My Caesar salad was pretty much a pile of parmesan cheese on a plate. Very strange. And pretty disappointing... when all you ask for is a Caesar salad and they give you a pile of cheese. Service was good. Will come back to try a different meal.

    Beautiful location on the water & accessible by boat. Ambiance was lovely. Food was solid. Only knock was they don't do any modifications or substitutions (ie no adding a protein to a salad), which can be limiting depending on your group diet restrictions. Otherwise our waiter was friendly and attentive.

    Lovely setting on the north end of Canesus Lake, charismatic servers... and then there is the food. And the wine! Some of my local favorites, including Dr. Constantine Frank's Gruner, Prince Edward Island oysters from our friends in North Canada, house-handmade pastas soaked in clam and Italian sausage Parmesan broth.

    We had dinner here while in the area on vacation. We had a reservation at 6PM and the parking lot was full when we arrived so parked on the grass along the highway. We had a short wait for our table and during the wait a spot fortunately opened up so we scooted out to move the car off the road. The cocktail list had a lot of great options; I went with the spicy Manhattan which was quite good. It definitely has a bit of a kick from the chili peppers! We shared a whipped ricotta appetizer which was very good and definitely large enough to share. For my entree, I had the gnocchi with chicken confit and wild mushrooms. This was excellent! They use a lot of local suppliers for ingredients which is always nice to see. The only area for improvement we saw was that entrees came out before we finished our appetizer and then we were asked about ordering dessert when we were still finishing entrees. It was not near closing, there were lots of open tables, and we weren't dawdling, so I'm not sure what the rush was about. I did get a dessert, a Mexican pots d creme and it was excellent. I'm not sure if maybe they get a lot of customers who want to get in and out quickly? It was our last night of vacation though, and we weren't in a rush.

    Enclosed patio dining.

    What a great place to enjoy dinner! The options are endless - from dining inside, to dining in the enclosed patio, to waterfront quick order meals - you can't go wrong. We were sat on the enclosed patio for dinner and everything from the waitstaff to the bartenders and the food was just exceptional. The cocktails are very fairly priced and well crafted. Restaurant offered a bread plate with homemade bread assortment that included fresh baked and warm options including fresh hush puppies. So very good! We ordered oysters and shrimp for the appetizer. Both were fresh and flavorful. Dinner was the salmon with sweet potato purée and cucumber salsa. Cooked to perfection and great on a warm summer night. The pork was breaded perfectly, crispy and light with a mole sauce that is to die for. Topped with a fresh greens and sour crème. Just delicious. Prices were spot on for the level of service and quality of food. Our meal included two craft cocktails, two tall draft Guinness, shrimp, oysters, two entrees, and one dessert was about $130 plus tip. If you are looking for a nice night out, exceptional service, and food full of flavors that are perfectly balanced - this is the place!

    Best dining experience in Livingston County! Food is always outstanding and the location is beautiful - lakefront at its best.
