I understand what they're trying to achieve here. They want to be an upscale chic mountain modern cafe overlooking the lake. The problem is they are not achieving any of that unfortunately.... The prices they are charging for the food would suggest an elegant upscale experience with delicious cuisine. Unfortunately the food is sub par. My $50 steak was burned on the outside and raw and cold on the inside. Service is lacking.... The interior design needs a refresh and waiters could use some training on how to talk to people who are spending that kind of money on a meal......
It's such an easy fix to tweak a few things to make it better. We go out to listen to the live music during the summer but stopped ordering from the restaurant. We just bring our own food now..
We stayed in the lodge for a couple of nights and had dinner one night and breakfast. The smoke double pork chop was huge and tasted awesome! Really loved the mustard sauce with it. My wife had the smoked half chicken and it was also very tasty. In the morning we had the McSkip breakfast sandwiches. My favorite was the smoked mushroom. The inside of the lodge and rooms are painted very dark blue. Really makes for a dark confined feeling. Such a beautiful place to paint like a dungeon

What wonderful surprise! Absolutely delicious food, friendly and helpful service, and an amazing setting. I had the short rib ragu over pappardelle and my vegetarian wife had roasted cauliflower. Don't have photos of the food but here was our view:

Every single time we eat here the food is excellent. Very talented chef! Great food, drinks, and service by the beautiful lake. Always perfect.

So we stopped here to try something new. Since we had been in sisters/hoodoo/black butte ranch. Food was alright but went during dinner hours and hubby ordered a burger assuming the “main” came with a side. Nope $20 for literally a burger on a plate. I ordered the smoked mushroom tapas and it was a cold mushroom salad with a large cracker on the side. Left hungry.
