What a hidden gem!!…read more We were just passing through and stayed at an Airbnb nearby. Unfortunately missed dinner--but after seeing the menu, I wish we hadn't! Duck, quail, rabbit, steak, and so much more. The menu was incredibly impressive. However, breakfast was delightful. We had an omelet made with fresh vegetables from their garden, French toast, a chocolate croissant, an almond butter croissant, herbal tea, and fresh cold-pressed grape juice. Everything tasted incredibly fresh. On our way out, we even picked up some tomatoes and carrots from the farm table. 10/10 on everything. Beautiful farm-to-table food, fresh ingredients, and wonderful service--all served by nuns! It really doesn't get much better than that. We'll definitely make a point of coming back for dinner next time.

This is a fine place. It was a very busy Saturday morning, but our party of 5 still had less than a…read more20 minute wait. The restaurant itself was bright, tall ceilings, and very busy. The servers are quick and attentive, and told me a long story about why I couldn't substitute my toast for pancakes. I had the steak skillet with scrambled eggs... which didn't seem to integrate well with the skillet - it's like they took a sheet of eggs and diced them. The steak was OK, but did not have a lot of seasoning. But overall, it's a nice place and would revisit again (for lunch hopefully) next time I'm touristing in Galena.

On this visit I had a BLT which is exactly what I was craving, crispy bacon and fresh crunchy lettuce and juicy tomatoes. Yum! Yum! The ambiance is exactly what you would expect in a rural Midwestern town. It is tastefully decorated, clean, and comfortable. The service is fast and the staff is friendly. You will feel like friends when you walk out the door.

So the Good, the Bad, and the Sickening:…read more The food was good once we got it. The service was not so great. The server did only what she needed to do, take the order, bring the food, bring the bill. No welcome, no thank you, no have a good night, no telling us the specials, no soda refills. Even when people came for take out she just stood at the counter staring at them, waiting for them to talk first, never said hello, never said thank you, just got their food and pushed it to them. The Sickening: We were seated where we could see the pick up counter and salad bar. Near the end of the night the server was filling up the salad bar. She was using her BARE HANDS to fill the containers. And then it really got gross... she used her TEETH to tear open a bag of hard-boiled eggs... um thanks for getting your mouth juice on the top of the bag and every egg that passes through the opening. I don't 100% blame the server for lack of food safety knowledge; management is responsible for training front & back of the house employees on food safety, there was no other employee besides the server (and cook) so they obviously just don't care, nor can they seem to afford a simple pair of scissors to cut open bags.

DO NOT HAVE THEM CATER YOUR EVENT!! Their website says they've never ran short on food at an event…read morebefore, that's a lie. We had them cater our wedding and about 50 people didn't get to eat because there was no food left. We had to order pizzas for our guests that didn't get food and did not get reimbursed for the cost. I called them twice and they said they would send a check in the mail to cover the cost of the pizzas.... Never got the check. They claim they served 350 people, but we did the math and there was only 332 people that attended. Very ignorant on the phone when I tried explaining what happened and ruined the night for many of our guests. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.

Located across the river from Maine St, this quaint old house turned restaurant is worth the stop…read more There is on street and public parking available. I would recommend making reservations as it was consistently busy. We opted for seats at the bar to avoid an hour wait. This place is tiny, so it would not be ideal for large groups. It would be difficult to accommodate someone who could not navigate stairs (there are both stairs to enter as well as a staircase for most of the dining space). Servers were friendly and helpful, the right amount of attentive. The food came out quickly. They offer light lunch, brunch, breakfast fare, with specials, and baked goods from Lola. A popular special is a homemade pop tart, which has rotating flavors (today was blueberry with lemon frosting). We opted for French Toast, pork belly, and the country skillet. Everything was delicious and portions were generous. All around a great find.
