    Fabulous location overlooking a lake. Lobster ravioli was delicious with 2 tiny lobster tails adorning the dish. Happy hour on Tuesdays netted a terrific price for wine. Great service.

    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!
