The steak was cooked to perfection and the brussel sprouts were the best prepared ones I could’ve ever imagined. I dare to say they are underpriced for the quality of food and service. Also, the general’s manhattan was top notch.

We were celebrating my husband’s birthday on a Sunday morning. The staff members were attentive and helpful as always. Food was fresh and delicious. Everyone in our group loved the prime rib. We will eat there again soon!

My wife an I stayed at the Desoto House this week and we loved our stay. We paid about 10 extra for two complimentary breakfasts (includes tip) at the Courtyard Restaurant, and it was completely worth it. We both got delicious skillets (normally 9 a piece) that reminded me a lot of home cooking. The eggs were terrific and biscuits and gravy were seasoned well. Our server was also excellent and did such a good job that we made sure to give her an extra tip.

Be sure to book your stay during their Sunday Breakfast buffet! My favorite will always be their hashbrown casserole and a nice slab of medium rare brisket pair that with an orange mimosa and that's heaven right there

We were staying in the Desoto and took the excellent dinning options in the Hotel to our advantage. From breakfast, to lunch, to supper. The food and service were fantastic. If we attend the Romantic Galena Reads event in 2025, I know we will have at least one meal here.

Karson, Cam, Julia, and the history major Shelby who we’re very entertaining. we had the most amazing meal. You must go here for dinner and just to experience the history of Galena hands-down the best place and will definitely be back highly recommend it. I can’t say enough also you have to have the blue cheese soup.

Got the walleye. It's Canadian eh. Started with French onion. Didn't see the lady in black but I kept glancing thru the door hoping to catch her out. Historic hotel. Stephen Douglas, Abraham Lincoln and US Grant have all stayed there.

We stayed at DeSoto House and got breakfast from Courtyard twice. The Apple Compote French Toast was so good! I wish I got it the second day too. The lemon blueberry crepes were good but now I'm craving the apple French toast again. It didn't need syrup. The heavy whipped cream was a perfect compliment for it. My husband loved it too! We also ate at the Generals Restaurant and the pasta dishes were very good. Their bread/herb butter was amazing. Sarah, the server, was phenomenal. Very friendly and personable.
