This squirrel 🐿️ and mommy squirrel just had one of the best dinners we’ve had in a long time at Gale Street Inn - Diamond Lake 💎in Mundline. If you don’t go, you’re cheating yourself out of a genuinely outstanding experience. From the moment we walked in, the tone was set. Aaron, our host, was top-tier — professional, welcoming, and dialed in. The entire evening felt less like dinner and more like a short vacation. It was our first visit, and before we left, we locked in our next reservation. That tells you everything. We chose the three-course special for $60. It started with a specialty salad, moved into a premium entrée, and finished with an exceptional dessert. The food tasted even better than the photos — and that’s saying something. The ribs? Slow-cooked for 11 hours. Fall-off-th

A hidden gem in the suburbs! Gale Street Inn – Diamond Lake in Mundelein is an underrated secret that more people need to know about. My friends and I originally planned to head into the city for dinner, but we ended up switching plans and coming here instead, and I’m so glad we did. The food was outstanding, especially for the price, and the view of the lake added such a relaxing, scenic touch to the evening. The atmosphere really stood out: quiet enough to have a real conversation, yet still lively. It made for a perfect dinner setting. Service was solid, and here’s the best part, their bread and butter might just be the best I’ve ever had. No joke, it was that memorable. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for great food, a peaceful lakeside vibe, and a place that feels like

Went there last night for our 19th anniversary dinner and they simply knocked it out of park. This is really an excellent restaurant. Everything was perfect! The quality of the food is off the charts!

This is my second visit since the remodel and the decor and atmosphere is still great. My chicken Vesuvio was not up to the usual standards. The potatoes were hard and chicken was overcooked. The rest of the dishes ordered was great!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Rodney Brewer · Feb 2026

Have not been there in a couple years, use to go all the time. New owner skyrocketed prices. 65 dollars for a prime rib? Double price from before. Noway never paying that much. I had chicken vasuvio wife had a small steak, potatoes was hard, chicken eatable but with the food to high priced, not that good, we decided Never Going Back. It used to be a great place, high prices no more self serv salad bar. Place really went down. Very sad.
