We were there for a winter event with a fixed-price menu. While the menu was nice, our reservation was about an hour and a half before the last reservation, and the food was clearly old. Entrees were refreshed but very overcooked. Not worth what we paid. On the positive side we were seated on time and drinks were refilled. It was a busy weekend, so the shortage of restrooms was a huge problem, and there were empty glasses, bottles, etc, left on every surface in the lobby area. The lack of signage made finding your way around the lodge difficult.

The food was great. Unfortunately the service had a bit to be desired. Two of the glasses brought to the table had to be returned because there were lipstick traces on them. We were never asked for drink refills, we had to request them. Lastly, we were given the wrong bill & then it took forever to get that straightened out (and by then lunchtime was over sot there really wasn't anyone left in the restaurant.

Excellent service but way overpriced for mediocre food. And then they served rocklike stale bread & stale rolls to reinforce the mediocrity.

We were there for the Thanksgiving Buffet dinner which may account for the poor quality food. The leg of lamb was very overcooked and tough (very well done), the turkey and fish entrees were also very overdone, the soup, while tasty, was cold, starters and salads were mostly ok except the shrimp which were also very overcooked.
