We waited about five minutes before anyone acknowledged us. When someone finally approached, she asked if we had a reservation, which we didn’t. This seemed to bother her. She informed us that we would need to wait 20 minutes, which we were fine with. We decided to wait at the bar, but she essentially told us we wouldn’t receive any service because the waitress was too busy. Then, another couple arrived without a reservation and were immediately seated, with the staff telling them they didn’t need one since it wasn’t busy. The overall atmosphere felt very unwelcoming, so we decided to leave.

Some random management stuff: We made a reservation for 10 for my birthday. Ended up changing it to 11 with no issues. It was pushed back a little and that was no issue. We showed up on time but it took them a long time to set up our table. Honestly, none of really matter because we still wanted to sit and take our time anyways. The food is great and our server was so so sweet. Definitely eat here for your special event. Vegetarian options: A couple Vegetarian options. Parking: Parking is before The Inn. Limited spots but enough. Kid-friendliness: There is options for kids.

The food deserves a solid 4 stars—well-prepared and genuinely enjoyable; I particularly loved the pumpkin pasta. The restaurant also offers stunning views, so I highly recommend making a reservation for sunset! Given that there aren’t many high-quality dining options in the area, this is definitely one I would suggest. Plus, you don’t need to be a guest at the lodge to eat here. If we find ourselves in the area again, we’ll be back for sure!

Out of 9 of our meals only one person wasn’t satisfied claiming their penne alla vodka lacked flavor. I tried it and it did need some more vodka, red pepper, and probably oregano and basil. I had a halibut that was perfectly cooked and served in a creamy buttery sauce, really quite splendid. The service was also great with attentive and knowledgeable waitstaff. One person in our party had a dirty martini and while the drink was well made, the olives in there were absolutely disgusting. Sour, hard, and somehow also bitter. I don’t know what brand of olive they use but I had the same gross olive in another martini in the Library Lounge. You really need a better source because those olives ruined my drink.

It seemed like they were trying to buy some time. The restaurant was seriously understaffed, which I understand can happen, but after waiting at our table for 10 minutes with no service, we decided to leave.
