Located across the river from Maine St, this quaint old house turned restaurant is worth the stop…read more There is on street and public parking available. I would recommend making reservations as it was consistently busy. We opted for seats at the bar to avoid an hour wait. This place is tiny, so it would not be ideal for large groups. It would be difficult to accommodate someone who could not navigate stairs (there are both stairs to enter as well as a staircase for most of the dining space). Servers were friendly and helpful, the right amount of attentive. The food came out quickly. They offer light lunch, brunch, breakfast fare, with specials, and baked goods from Lola. A popular special is a homemade pop tart, which has rotating flavors (today was blueberry with lemon frosting). We opted for French Toast, pork belly, and the country skillet. Everything was delicious and portions were generous. All around a great find.

My boyfriend and I went to Bread & Vine in Galena on January 22nd 2026, and we had the absolute…read morepleasure of being served by Lexi (I did some digging on Facebook to find her because I wanted to make sure I got her name correct.) I felt compelled to leave this review because exceptional service like hers deserves to be recognized. From the moment we sat down, Lexi was attentive, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. She had an answer to every single question we asked -- not just about the menu, but about the business itself. She knew so much about Bread & Vine that I genuinely thought she might be the owner. That level of pride and understanding is rare and speaks volumes about her professionalism. What really stood out was how accommodating and engaging she was. She made thoughtful recommendations, not only for food and drinks, but also for other places to visit and things to do around Galena. It truly elevated our entire experience. Because of her suggestions and the way she described everything so well, we ended up ordering (and purchasing) more than we originally planned -- simply because we trusted her recommendations. Lexi is the kind of employee every business hopes to have. She represents Bread & Vine with confidence, warmth, and expertise. She absolutely deserves recognition -- and in my opinion, a raise -- for the way she goes above and beyond for guests. I hope she sees this and I hope this reaches someone as important as her. We'll definitely be back, and a big reason why is Lexi.

A MUST TRY BRUNCH SPOT!!…read more Husband and I both raved about this place all weekend and can't wait to come back! It's "cute" inside and features art from a local artist that you can purchase. We were also fortunate enough to be sat in a window seat and loved starting our day watching the energy of main street while enjoying delicious coffee and sandwiches! Husband a turkey club (the Logan?) and a iced vanilla chai latte. I got the cranberry chicken salad sandwich and an iced vanilla and caramel latte. Husband LOVED their homemade chips!

Okay, I've been convinced. Fritz and Frites is the BEST dinner restaurant in Galena!…read moreNot only is the food incredible, the service is out of this world and the vibes are truly *chef's kiss.* I came here for my birthday with some friends and our young kids (two 4 year olds and an infant.) From the moment we made our reservation, the staff was incredibly accommodating. By no means is this a typical "bring the kids" type of dining establishment, but sometimes parents just gotta do what they gotta do... and the staff at Fritz and Frites were truly so kind and accepting. The kids drew with crayons on the table paper cover and ate some delicious mac and cheese from the sides menu. They were as content as the adults were with their meals! Speaking of our meals, I ordered the Poulet Roti. An absolutely delicious roasted chicken dish, which I believe is the best chicken I've ever tasted! I can't wait for our next trip to Galena, just for another dinner at this wonderful place.

Our server was super kind and had been working there for years, so clearly they treat their staff well.

Highly recommend the steaks here - perfectly executed. The red wine blend was also a hit. We took desserts to go and enjoyed them at home very much.

We both had the Italian sausage and corn chowder soup. It was FANTASTIC!! A nice zip of spice.. Next, our entrees. My husband went with the salmon with mashed sweet potatoes and acorn squash. He said the sweet potatoes were better than the salmon. I had the cheapest cut of filet ever! I've had a better one from JEWEL! It was flat and bland.. I had the red potatoes and asparagus.

We loved the lush fresh flower arrangements in our room and throughout the entire inn. The common areas (breakfast area/living on main floor and the outdoor patio) are similarly beautiful, with comfortable seating and beautiful vistas. The food - from the afternoon appetizer/cheese/wine tray to the incredible breakfast - was really delicious. And I could go on. If you're at all contemplating a stay in Galena, this is the place to go! It is romantic, quiet, nurturing, luxurious.

Probably our favorite was the steel-cut oats with fruit and a banana foster sauce -- YUM! Again, these portions were very generous. Our host, Matthew, was very kind and attentive. I don't think there are enough superlatives to describe our experience!
