    Another indelible, delectable dining experience at the Goldmoor Inn, Galena, Illinois, for this mother-daughters team. From Esme to Heather, the staff were warm and professional. The appetizers were delicious - gnocchi, and warm beets - the dirty martinis were magnificently dirty, the entrees were completely off the charts - venison ribeye, short ribs ramen, and Scottish salmon - and the desserts provided the perfect ending, along with a French press of decaf and heavy cream. With such a Christmas feast, 2025 can now be faced with courage and good humor.
