    We had a terrific meal in a refined, cozy, and quiet dining room. There was a fire in the central fireplace, a view over the snow covered golf course, and the food was excellent. 2 of us shared a starter of grilled octopus, my wife had beef stroganoff, and I had prime rib, accompanied by a Nero d’Avola from Sicily. Although the room was nearly full, it was pleasantly quiet which was relaxing and made it easy to talk Our server, Michael, is outstanding! He is pleasant, attentive, and very knowledgeable about both the food and the wine list. He has taken care of us before and always makes dinner at the Lodge a great experience.

    The service and food were good. It took a little while to get our food, however it did allow us to talk and enjoy ourselves. The people who worked there were all very polite.

    I had the Braised Short Ribs and they were excellent. My wife ordered the fresh fish of the day which was suppose to be Halibut. When she began eating it she noticed that there was a skin on the fish (an indication that it was not Halibut; it was salmon). She indicated that, at the store, salmon is a much cheaper fish than Halibut. The fish was under cooked and she sent it back to be cooked more. At 3am my wife got sick to her stomach, I was find; other than the short ribs & fish we both had the same thing all day.

    Really wanted this restaurant to be as good as it used to be but the quality is really went downhill with new chef orders, spaghetti and meatballs supposed to be homemade meatballs I don't know where they came from. Plus they were ice cold inside the spaghetti.

    We met friends for dinner at The Lodge and had a lovely experience. Service was excellent, friendly, attentive, and professional. We all had excellent meals: chicken Caesar salad, short ribs, summer squash and lemon quinoa (V), and mac 'n' cheese. Our drinks were perfect as well, two of which were standard, two were customized. The Lodge has the perfect mountain ambience, refined mountain casual. We often dine here and highly recommend it.

    Great place to dine! I had the roast chicken and my husband had the pasta and we shared the house salad. The staff is very kind and attentive, and the restaurant has a real neighborly feel to it!
