    We chose the Vault for a pre symphony dinner based on our prior experience and we were not disappointed. We were seated promptly and our server London was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. We explained that we were going to the Symphony and she expedited our order but we were not rushed. My wife’s salmon and my bluegill fillets were perfectly cooked. We are sure to return.

    Woodfire is a bit more expensive, so it's usually a special occasion that brings us out. Valentine's Day is a special occasion, right?! What can I say - our waiter (Danny) was super! The special ribeye steak, salad, sides, and desert were exceptional. Delicious as always. Thanks for making a special occasion that much more special.

    As usual, superior food, service, and ambiance. It continues to be the best Galena has to offer. We will return again and again. Our compliments to the Chef, the kitchen staff, the servers, and of course, the owner, Fred Bonnet for another excellent dining experience. Our reservation was easily made and handled through OPEN TABLE. Thank you, Jerry & Kelly
