“Honest good food served with penuche!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 8, 2013

We ate there with a family of 7 and started a bit grumpy due to the bad bad service of the Lodge.
Soon we had been advised to drink great local beers and the food was good.Fish & chips the best ever and our 3 kids were eating well.
Service was excellent

“Chef quality and varied menu”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 5, 2012

We ate breakfast and dinner at the restaurant. All of our meals were good. The granola is excellent. I like the taste of honey. The shortribs were exceptional. The service was simple for the off season. Great sandwiches and sorbet for a treat in the store.

“Just ok.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 28, 2012

Wait staff was slow, but food is ok. The place wasnt very busy, but you would think it was a madhouse with the 2 waiters bustling around. Took forever to seat us and take order. The food was good, so it made up for the wait.

“Restarant Commander”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed August 16, 2012

The lady that brough the food was the 60+ commander style person. I guess she had worked in a prison before. The food was far too expensive, fast food style at restaurant rates.
The restaurant is pretty ugly. A big hall that is decorated with white wooden bars to make it look smaller. But still you feel like sitting in a train station and waiting for your connections.

“Drive right by, do not stop here”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 9, 2012

I was very disappointed in this restaurant. The waitstaff seemed to be inexperienced, but they did try. The chicken sandwiches that we ordered were bland. The food costs too much here for what you get. Go somewhere else.
