Restaurants near High Lonesome Express

Everything we had was excellent. Loved the Black Garlic Caesar, duck pasta and short ribs. Not cheap but could be worse considering location. And at least the food and service were good.

Fantastic restaurant! If you are a group of four or less ask to be seated in the bar for a cozy evening. For larger groups, sit in the main dining room and enjoy the view of the open kitchen on one side & the creek on the other.

Experience was great. Well worth the cost. Gondola ride was beautiful. Service was fantastic. Every person who we came into contact with was friendly. Prosecco toast and coat check was a nice touch. Food was very well done, great variety and good flavors. If I had to find a complaint it would be the temp of the food was a little lukewarm, but it was also 4 degrees out, and people weren’t closing the serving tray lids after they were done serving themselves, plus our table was as far away from the buffet area as you can get, so what heat the food had was lost by the time we got to the table. That being said….It’s a buffet with temp serving trays, not made to order food that is sent straight to your table. I don’t mind lukewarm food as long it’s fresh and flavorful, and it was. Turkey and ham were INCREDIBLE, and the stars of the show, as they should be. Moist, flavorful, hot and the carvers kept hooking my husband up with big ole steaks of meat after he told them he was a turkey fanatic, and talked to them and thanked them for a few minutes. Be nice to your servers y’all and they will reward you. Bread service with cranberry sauce was great. I swear I could eat several bowls of the cranberry sauce. That and the pumpkin pie tarts were the stars of the evening for me. The turkey and these 2, plus the biscotti were the stars for my husband. Lastly, the tableside affogato was yummy. Very good, although I would probably change it from cold brew to hot coffee or espresso. The cold brew on top of the gelato just made it kinda icy. Still good, but ice and then going back out into 4 degree weather was brrr.

If you can’t have Thanksgiving dinner at home, then Deno’s is the next best place, while at our home away from home. The food, service and ambiance at Deno’s is always the best!

Manager- Michael and staff were so welcoming and accommodating to our group of 14. The food was amazing and service so incredible, we came back again on this same trip!
