Best WLM Reviews

Rising from the ashes of the old Fig's restaurant, this place deserves a try. I must admit that the steak I had wasn't praise worthy. The rest of our groups food was delicious. Items are different from what you'll find on most menus. The atmosphere was nice and casual with good service.
This restaurant is easily the best in Galesburg. Great menu with options for everyone...and you can't go wrong with edible cookie dough! The decor is absolutely beautiful. Service is amazing, and the cocktails are delicious.
We had my cousins bridal shower downstairs and it turned out so nice. We had amazing help from the staff they were all so friendly. Thank you for working hard, a special Thank You to Elise for all you did for us and made today special for Courtney! Elise worked her butt off!!!
Update: We went back here and did not have a good experience. To keep a long story short, we waited literally an hour and a half to get our food. It was NOT busy besides a couple other tables and one table of 9, which we were told they were "not expecting". After the first hour, we were told they ran out of one of the sides we ordered. The waitress told us that the "potatoes were dry and probably leftover from the weekend", so obviously did not want that replacement. Ended up getting the sandwich a la carte. When the food FINALLY came out, the steak was the most well done I've ever seen (ordered medium rare) and the prime rib on the sandwich was scant and dry. She ended up giving us the potatoes anyway I guess because she felt bad. We were offered no drink refills the entire time (one of which was a margarita - usually servers are quick to offer another on alcohol - also, the margarita was just like the one in my first review. Super sour.). We really hate complaining, but they offered to pay for the meal and we finished what we could of the food and left as quickly as possible.
Food was very good, besides the baked potato that was pretty overcooked. The margarita was also very very sour. I didnt have them fix it because I dont mind sour, but it definitely didnt taste like a margarita. Salads and entrees were great. I recommend their wonton jalepeno poppers.
I went here for the first time during a paint crawl. The staff was amazing. The food and drinks were delicious. I only had a few appetizers, but I definitely plan on coming back. I had a lot of fun painting, and makes me happen when businesses help support the arts!
The staff is incredibly friendly, and it has a nice atmosphere. The food is amazing and the prices are fair as well. The Shrimp, Spinach, and Bacon dip is a must try!
The restaurant is decorated in a very modern, inviting feel. The food was amazing. I ordered the spinach dip appetizer, and the stuffed chicken entree and both exceeded my expectations on deliciousness!! It was a packed house, and all the staff was very busy, yet still super friendly and well organized. Our server was Jessica, and she was awesome! We will definitely be returning!
I'm giving them only 3 stars. I'll start from the beginning of my meal. My menu was dirty that just throws the whole mood off for me from the start. Our garlic cheese knots taste like they were frozen out of a box. The mushroom, chicken, grilled onion flatbread was good but it was lacking something. Like a garlic olive oil base would have been good. My wife said she really liked her dinner (steak, baked potato and salad). The eatable cookie dough dessert was really good. It was to much for one person so if you get it make sure you get it to share with someone. Also our service was excellent she never let our drinks run dry and checked on us often but not to much. I think we will be back to try other things on the menu.
