" Highly recommend this little bistro! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, a perfect dinner spot for couples. My experience was delightful; the mushroom soup was exquisite, paired harmoniously with the schnitzel. Service was fast and friendly, making sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. When in Galena, don't miss this charming restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! This was my first time experiencing German-French fusion cuisine, and I must say it was fantastic. I tried the hot mushroom soup, which was flavorful and rich. The service was exceptional. Our waiter was knowledgeable and attentive, suggesting great pairings for our drinks. Overall, a lovely environment—perfect for a date night—with delicious food to boot. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining here given the wonderful reviews, but I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. The atmosphere was cozy and nice, but my choice of dish, while presented beautifully, lacked that homey German flavor I was craving. Maybe it was just me; others seemed to be enjoying their meals. I'd be open to giving it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing place! The service was prompt, the staff were professionals, and the ambiance was perfect for a relaxing meal. I had the schnitzel, which was fantastic, while my partner tried the seafood pasta, which we both loved. The desserts here are also worth mentioning—they rounded out a perfect meal! Definitely on the returning list! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a rather disappointing experience here. The soup I ordered was served lukewarm and lacked flavor. My main course, the beef schnitzel, was overcooked and dry. While the atmosphere was inviting, the food didn't live up to my expectations given the rave reviews. This might have just been an off night, but it made for an underwhelming experience overall. The prices are steep for the quality served that evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" A quaint little gem in Galena! I visited a few weeks ago and was absolutely taken by the culinary delight here. The homemade bread was incredible, and I had the escargot as an appetizer—it didn't disappoint! The beer selection was vast and paired well with my main course, the pork schnitzel. My only regret was being too full for dessert, but I’ve heard nothing but great things about their cakes. The service was impeccable and made us feel right at home. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely delightful dining experience! Each bite was a wonderful revelation, starting with the soup which was rich and comforting. The emphasis on traditional German flavors brought me back to my travels in Europe. I highly recommend the schweinshaxe. The texture was spot on, paired excellently with traditional sides. I can’t wait to visit again. If you're after real German cuisine, look no further. " (*Curated Review*)
