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.

    Great atmosphere but very loud. We couldn’t even hear the piano player. Kitchen was slow, but based on the crowd, they did a great job feeding everyone. Sea Bass was overcooked, but Stuffed Sole was awesome.

    Two small kids (3 years old and 4 months old) bring a lot of unknown factors into dining out, but the staff at the Ram were beyond wonderful. We felt welcomed from the start, and the staff did a great job attending to us. We will eat here again in a heartbeat.

    It's been 49 years since our first fondue at The Ram. We think it's the perfect restaurant to enjoy everything which is Sun Valley. The food is wonderful, the wine list extensive and the service was efficient and unobtrusive.
