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 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

    Another fabulous experience at The Ram! Our server, Michael, was fantastic! Very professional and a great personality; we had fun with him. The food was spectacular as was Larry at the piano! THEN the Sun Valley Carolers came into the restaurant to perform for the diners---what a lovely experience. Only in Sun Valley.....!
