    Great experience as usual. I brought some friends who had never been to Molly's before. They had a great time and enjoyed their mocktails and meals. The service was great and the staff was attentive. We had a great evening!

    Couple things of note, server was prompt and attentive, not overly, just right. Bartender didn't make the old fashioned correct, and then a noisey party of 8 or 9 joined a quiet special dinner with there obnoxious banter.... Great experience overall

    My husband said the steak was excellent-tender, perfectly cooked and flavorful. He had the “works” add-on of shrimp, lobster and scallops in breadcrumbs, which he also enjoyed. I had the wild mushroom ravioli. It was delicious and the portion was just right for me-not too much. My husband had the crème brûlée for dessert-his favorite dessert-and he was not disappointed. Our waitress was excellent. She brought us a complimentary glass of champagne each to celebrate our anniversary. She was efficient, not over solicitous, and very pleasant.

    Came here for an anniversary and they did not disappoint. I marked that our reservation was for an anniversary and after letting the host know the name, he wished us a happy anniversary. We were sat near the window and they set out a little sign that said “happy anniversary”! Such a simple but amazing touch. The food was fantastic as well. The bread may have been the fluffiest I have ever tasted and the salad was delicious. We got the salmon bruschetta and spinach tortellini and they were both phenomenal! It was our first time visiting. I’m sure we will be back to Galena and we will be getting a reservation here every time we visit for sure. Definitely a must try! Thank you for providing us with such a wonderful anniversary dinner!
