We had dinner here, just a day away from the kids to relax. We've been to Galena several times, but never eaten here. Shout out to Kyle L. for being an exceptional server. The prices were high, but that's to be expected in a tourist town. The food was fabulous, and the service fantastic. We will be back.

It is a pleasure to be here. This is our 1st of 3 nights stay at the hotel. Everyone is so professional. We enjoyed our dinner at the General's restaurant. The food was excellent.
