    We walked away from our dining experience at Edge completely blown away. This was truly the best dining experience we’ve ever had. The food was amazing and the service was as well. We ordered the lobster arancini, the burrata, the elk chops entree, and the pistachio stone fruit dessert, all of which was delicious. Even the butter that comes with the bread is out of this world. Our waitress never made us feel rushed, and we found the timing between her checking in perfect. As soon as she arrived with our bottle of wine, she gave me a wine charm for my wine glass that she handmade. It was a very nice personal touch. Outside of the food and service, the ambience was excellent. The views overlooking the Mississippi River wetlands and horse training facility were the perfect place to sip on a cocktail and watch the sunset. The owner/manager was friendly and attentive, checking in with each table and taking the time to chit chat about our experience. He spent the entire evening in the dining room ensuring everyone was enjoying their time. We’re already planning our next date night back at Edge!

    We stayed at the Goldmoor for two nights and had a lovely dinner there the second night. They just came out with their new seasonal menu and the food was fresh and so delicious! When we travel back to Galena we will stay and dine at the Goldmoor Inn.

    Absolutely outstanding experience. This place is a true gem—every dish is presented like a work of art. The attention to detail is remarkable, both in the food and the overall ambiance. They have a vegetarian menu, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure a flawless dining experience. Service is top-notch from start to finish.

    This was our third trip to the Goldmoor over the past few years and the Edge never disappoints…it actually gets better! The food is delicious and artfully presented. The chef is very creative and the waitstaff is attentive. And a great view adds to the ambiance.
