Went for the end of season Spring prix fixe dinner. Really enjoyed the food, but felt we were a bit rushed. Didn’t feel we had time to savor each course and paired wine before the next course came. The explanation of each course and the wine was a bit lacking. In top restaurants I have dined around the world, the wait person would take pride in describing each course and would always bring the bottle to show the label and describe the wine. This is an area for improvement it the restaurant wants to achieve top rating.
A romantic little restaurant with a glowing fireplace, wooden surroundings and a cozy vibe. My husband and I decided to get the tasting, which included the fried green tomato and ahi tuna appetizers, gnocchi side dish with truffle shavings, the lamb chop main dish, snowball and sorbet desserts. The ahi tuna was good, but it was sitting on top of a large piece of thick bread (which seemed a bit of overkill), and there was too much sea salt sprinkled on top. The gnocchi was delicious, but the added cost of the truffle shavings was definitely not worth it--they tasted like paper. It was disappointing. The lamb chop, I must say, was THE BEST lamb chop I've ever had in my life! Perfectly cooked. Not chewy. Not gamey. Absolutely amazing! I was looking forward to the famous snowball, but at the end of the day, it was just a ball of dense chocolate cake covered in whipped cream. It didn't wow me. However, the sorbet dessert was so interesting, with its finger limes and meringue dusted with chili--I can't remember the actual name, but it was great! Our service was 5 stars, as was the atmosphere and location. I just think their food is just a bit of a miss with a lot of hits!
Wonderful experience! Each dish had its own distinctive flavor. Would highly recommend!!
Truly a 5 star restaurant. Small plates, we got 4 each with wine pairings, call it a 4 course meal. If you're a big eater go with 5. Very Frenchy style with unique menu you won't find anywhere else. Impeccable service. Make reservations way in advance. We booked 30 days ahead. Walking distance to Stein Erickson lodge. Dinner only.
beautiful clean scenic state, great places to eat. terrific ski resorts and world class skiing.
Great place for a nice nice dinner. Take your honey and bring a bottlefirst corkage is free!
Bad food I got an indigestion and bad service. We didn't enjoy the flavor of the food.
We've been coming here for at least 20 years. Not many times, but enough to see the place over time. I like the current move to small plates rather than mostly multi course fussy food. Everything we had was pretty much perfect. It's still quite pricey. The service was excellent. The space perfect. Rather than just hand out superlatives, if you are looking for a special night, this place should be at the top of the list. It's a LOT better choice over some of the traditional places like Log Haven.
Yum! High end small plates. I like the sablefish and the cheese plate and the snowball for dessert. Certain tables can get overlly hot or smoky from the fireplaces. Solicitous service, nice mixed drinks and wine list.
Revisited in February 2013. They have reduced meat portion sizes to 2.5oz. Appetizers are also smaller than previous years. Although the quality is still excellent, the value for money has decreased. You will not have leftovers from this restaurant, unless you eat like a sparrow.
fabulous food in beautiful surroundings. make reservations far in advance! kobe beef carpaccio appetizer was a bit tasteless despite the presence of truffles, with minute slices of beef. for entrees i recommend the bison medallions and lamb enthusiastically. service bordered on obsequious but the deer valley denizens seem to like it that way. next time i will try the tasting menu. server very knowledgeable about wines and offered good advice.
