Fabulous dinner in a relaxed atmosphere. Attentive staff, nice wine selection. Beef Wellington is a must. Was our first visit. Certainly not the last.

We had dinner here on a recent trip to Galena. The Goldmoor is sort of hard to find, but it's worth the trip. My husband and I both had the Beef Wellington, and it was very good. Our only problem is that it came surrounded with Brussels sprouts. We don't like Brussels sprouts, and the smell was awful. It would... More

Dining at the Goldmoor is an incredible experience. From the moment you drive up, you know that you are in a magical place where your every culinary wish can come true. No trip to Galena is complete without at least one dinner in this very special Galena gem.

Great dinner! Wow! We had the outside patio overlooking the Mississippi to ourselves for pre-dinner cocktails. Good wine selection. Meal was outstanding! The warm bread was served with balsamic-fig butter - mmmmmm. I had the beef wellington, hubby had the steak. Both were outstanding. We were treated to a tour of the kitchen. Next time, we will definitely inquire about... More

We stayed at the Goldmoor Inn for our anniversary and had reservations at the restaurant Sat evening. The service was wonderful, the view of the Mississippi was lovely. Nice wine list. The Beef Wellington was done perfectly. The plateing was very attractive Will return again.

We immediately felt a little uncomfortable by this man as he inquired about where we werfreom and if w had dined at the restauarnt before. We had a 6:15 reservation and had arrived... More

The beef Wellington was amazing. The service (by Sue) was superb. I love the view. Goldmoor is truly an elegant place. To the reviewer who said the atmosphere was dated; I'd call it traditional and elegant. I loved it. And I do not think the restaurant is overpriced for the quality, service, atmosphere, and view that you receive.
