The draw here is the atmosphere, not the food. Sitting at one of the lake-view tables could make even gruel taste good. The best times to visit are mid-summer, when the lake is full of sailboats and kayaks, and early fall, when driving under the foliage canopy covering the lodge entry way is worth the price of the meal.

We often choose to dine at Lake Crescent Lodge when staying at Sol Duc - the excellent food and good service and wonderful surroundings definitely makes the 35 minute each way drive worth while. Food is good and fresh, good drinks available, and good service. But be sure to book. Just about every time we've visited, we've either needed to... More

The restaurant is located in Lake Crescent Lodge. We ate dinner one evening and breakfast the next morning. Service was a bit slow both times but overall good experience. You are a captive audience if staying at the lodge. No other restaurants within easy driving distance. The lodge is quaint and rustic. Nice gift shop. The food was good, but... More

Not sure I'd go back for the food, but the bar is good and the views are amazing! We tried the fish of the day and the seafood linguini. Unfortunately, they were both overdone and dry. Service was fine but for whatever reason they would seat all the diners next to each other so there was very little privacy in... More

We loved Lake Crescent Lodge! The lodge was quite large and very lovely. It was very clean and took you back in time. On the first floor it included a gift shop, beautiful fireplace room and a reading/game room that overlooked the lake. We did not stay at the lodge we only ate there for breakfast. The food was wonderful... More

Food was expensive. Menu trying to be fancy, but not succeeding. Lake is beautiful, and will continue to attract visitors, but eat somewhere else!

We recently had a wonderful lunch here. The menu was varied, with interesting choices. My husband and I shared a salad of greens, yellow beets, hazelnuts, and crumbled cheese. He then had a portabello mushroom sandwich, while I had Dungeness crab on a croissant. To finish the meal, we shared a dish of lavender/marionberry ice cream. The food was delicious,... More

We've eaten there many times - and were never disappointed. When the weather cooperates, they even bring it outside to the beach area. There are no tables, but some Adirondack chairs - just don't order anything that requires knife and fork.
