Sun Valley’s original restaurant, The Ram has been warming and welcoming diners since 1937. This rustic-yet-elegant dinner house has been recently modernized, while still preserving its historic charm. Pianist Larry Harshbarger brings a classic ambiance to the room with gentle melodies played on our resident baby grand piano. Travel back in time with the nightly “Heritage Menu”—a series of historic dishes such as pork tenderloin schnitzel, Hungarian goulash, and the famous Ram fondue—resurrected from the restaurant’s long and storied culinary tradition.

A credit card is required to hold your reservation. Should your plans change, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance. Last minute cancellations and no shows may be charged $25 per person.

Holiday reservations are not available online, but can be made by calling our guest center at 208.622.2800.

    We had a nice evening but the menu is limited and I felt the price of food a little high because I was sitting on a bench without a cushion

    Service was great; however, the length of time to wait was a little longer than expected. We like to take our time; however, from the time we sat down promptly at 7:30 until getting our appetizers it was 8:45. Our meal arrived around 9:10. Food was good. The room was filled with smoke from the kitchen. Either the stove tops need to be cleaned more or a better ventilation system is needed. It was quite smoky. Atmosphere was Fantastic.

    We started with scallops and steak tartar. Scallops were cooked perfect. Steak tartar was one of the best we have ever eaten. Our main course was a 36oz prime Tomahawk rib eye. Cooked perfectly medium rare. One of the best steaks ever. Our bottle of Pahlmeyer was perfect with the dinner. Overall fantastic experience. Robert Tanner
