We couldn't be happier that we stumbled on this place (despite not staying in the lodge) through TripAdvisor and made a reservation after reading these reviews! I rarely write reviews (and living in NYC we have our fair share of amazing food options) but felt...More

Superb dining

Amazing service, faultless meal and great value for a set 3 course menu. A gluten free option was easily made for one of our party with no fuss. So helpful.

Bad service

Went in as a family and have been immediately treated in an unfriendly way. Food was ok but obviously not happy with young children, stay away if you are in that position.

Steve, our host, manages the entire complex, including the restaurant. He is a natural host and made us feel very welcome. Cocktails are a great start and we opted for a set menu as my sister is gluten free. The food was impressive and we...More
