The Historic Rapids Lodge and Restaurant is a must-visit spot in Grand Lake. The stunning views of the mountains and river, along with the cozy atmosphere, make it a perfect place for a memorable meal. The attentive and friendly staff, like Stephanie, ensure that you feel well taken care of during your visit. The food is exceptional, with dishes like salmon gnocchi and elk medallions receiving high praise for their quality and taste. While the prices may be on the higher side, the experience and beauty of the surroundings make it worth it. The restaurant offers a dairy-heavy menu, with options like garlic bread, mushroom soup, and shrimp ravioli, which may not be suitable for vegan or lactose-intolerant diners. The elk dish is a standout, prepared perfectly and served with a delicious whiskey cream sauce. The restaurant also provides a lovely outdoor seating area by the creek, perfect for enjoying the summer ambiance. Reservations are recommended, especially during the busier summer months. Plan to spend a couple of hours here to fully appreciate the food, views, and overall experience that The Historic Rapids Lodge and Restaurant has to offer.
