What an unexpected gem this restaurant turned out to be. We chose it as we were leaving the resort as a last grab ...we weren't expecting much, and bot were we wrong! The soups were delicious (can't decide? Ask for a taste). The service was friendly and fast and the atmosphere was just what we had been craving (homey but... More

Asked the staff which they'd recommend, from two soups on the menu. Person taking the order says he has never tasted them... so he asks another employee... she's never tasted them either. Not very helpful. Service was quick. Soup I chose was rather spicy. Would have been good to know when inquiring for a recommendation. Nothing given with soup, no... More

Perfect way to warm up when spending the day on the snow. Each day the variety of soups changed. Every bowl we had was from scratch and delicious. Excellent breakfast as well. This was one of our favorite places to warm up and fill our bellies!

Great home made soup, and variety of food selections. All home made, and great place to warm up after snowboarding.

Opted to have lunch here vs on the mountain and I'm glad we did. The place itself is not overly large, so with just a few patrons, it can seem busy. We found a spot to sit easily. It wasn't overly roomy but it didn't bother either of us. I had the Black Eyed Pea soup and 1/2 Scott sandwich.... More

It's definately worth it to drop the skis and walk over. We avoid on mountain dining/ cafeteria at all cost. This little (and the seating is limited if the patio is closed) is a great break from the mountain. Several really good soups to choose from (they offer samples if you can't decide). Good sandwiches too. Very friendly staff but... More

We were exhausted after a long day of skiing and a big après ski reception. We went to our room to change and by the time we got out into the Village to find dinner, everything was packed. The wait time at 2 of the restaurants was an hour. We were guided to the Back Bowl. With a starving child... More

I am a serious soup connoisseur. I remember the best Pho in Viet Nam and walk there in my mind on occasion. I remember the best gumbo in New Orleans and think of driving there late at night sometimes. I remember the best matzoh ball soup and if only my grandmother would open that coffin door could I taste that... More

Called in for a bite to eat before starting the day on the slopes; a good selection on the menu and polite helpful staff. The only fault we found is that the menu is slightly misleading; being quite hungry we were looking forward to a breakfast bowl with everything listed on the menu - egg, potatoe, sausage, bacon & chorizo;...

I ordered a soup and a kids hamburger. It took 45 minutes to get the hamburger and when it came out, it was raw inside. I had to keep asking them if my food was ready. Not happy about this place.
