"This is the first time that I 'm actually willing to spend time to write a review, which is worth it! During the Labor Day weekend, my friends and I visit Chestnut Mountain for the Apline Slide. It was a HOT and HUMID day around 5PM; so we decided to have a drink and some late afternoon snack before dinner time at the Sunset Grille. Once we walked in, the LADY ask if we are here for dinner, we said maybe some snacks and drinks. Then she redirected us to the other side of the entrance of the restaurant for table. We asked for a table to sit outside, because we want to enjoy the view. Once we got an outside table, we asked if we can sit somewhere under the shade, which there are plenty of empty tables at the back. After the waitress moved our menu to a shaded table, that LADY walk in again telling the waitress those table were reserved. Fine, is understandable since it 's reserved, so we moved back to the sunny table. (We do not truly believe all those tables were reserved! After we ordered our food and drinks, we saw there are 2 parties of people leaving. So we asked the LADY again if we can move over there. And she replied, "All those tables are reserve only for those who wants dinner; since, we did not order food from the dinner menu, we can 't be seated there. We told her WE DID ordered food from the dinner menu (some appetizers drinks, salad ; as a result, she went to check on our tab. Minutes later another waiter walked over telling us we can 't switch tables for the same reason! Those table are for people to have dinner! This is ridiculous and unacceptable! Just because we didn 't order their MAIN ENTREE from the dinner menu, we can 't be seated under the shade. All of those tables were empty!"

"It was New Year's Eve and we're hungry. We wanted to distract from the crowds in downtown. I had read the reviews and thought we would try. We were glad we did. With only a few tables in the small dining room, it is more like eating with the owner and his family and in fact they were all milled around. I ordered a margarita, because a margarita is a kind of litmus test for a restaurant serving Mexican cuisine. Isn't that right? It was really remarkable! My wife, not Tequila Drinker, now has the south of the border fantasies about these margaritas. She loved her. Not enough O s in smoooth! When we waited for our food, the owner son made a pretty hit when he engaged every female in the place (there was only 4) in a dance. With Latin American music he played with them all. We all snapped and laughed and had a nice time. The owners are so nice! The food arrived and everything looked so fresh. I had Fajitas. The broccoli mixed with onions and peppers and all grilled to perfection. Delicious! My wife had shrimp tacos and from her reaction I could say they were delicious. I could convince them that I tried them and they were very good. The menu is quite wide and has some genuine authentic elements such as tongues Tacos. The price is higher than your average Mexican restaurant, but our experience was worth it. It's a great way to celebrate. We'll be back to see if the next time is as good as the first. If you find yourself in Galena and have a desire for good fresh authentic Mexican foods, why not give them an attempt."
