Only issue was, I had requested outdoor seating about 2 months in advance not knowing it was going to be 90+ degrees. I asked to be seated indoors since there were many tables empty but was told they were all reserved. However after we finished our meal (which was awesome) there were still the same many tables empty. I was perplexed….

It has been a while since we dined in Galena, great restaurant and great food, parking is the only down side of going to Galena, we dine early and there is always a problem with that, otherwise great evening.
