    Even though we didn't know we would only have the option of the breakfast buffet, we enjoyed our food and service was exceptional. Price was a bit steep but we were on vacation so a splurge was fine.

    We celebrated our 40th anniversary here on Easter Sunday. The appetizer, crispy Brussels sprouts and main course, chicken Parmesan and salmon, were delicious! It was a lovely restaurant on Lake Galena. Even without sun, on a cold, rainy day, the view was amazing. Would definitely go back!

    The food was not great and cold. We ordered the lobster Ravioli and the Chicken Parmesan. The ravioli was cold and the lobster overcooked. The chicken parmesan was overcooked to almost burnt and dry. We wanted to like the food here but honestly the price was too high for this quality level.
