OMG x 10 or 50 and I'm not kidding. My wife and I had the pleasure of dinning here a few times. Trust me, it is not easy to get into this restaurant and we have been very lucky each time. This restaurant is usually booked all summer long due to weddings. Occasionally, and not very often, something gets cancelled and one can sneak in if you stay on top of the reservation list. The atmosphere is fantastic, you are isolated from the rest of the world and they have your sole attention. Staff, more than happy to accommodate anything that you desire and very entertaining. The food is has been amazing each time we've dined here. Desert is an explosion of chocolate fantasy. Take your wife there for dinner and you are set for the weekend. Wink, wink. You will not be disappointed and well worth the expense, trust me. :-)

FAST & LOUD

This place is an absolute joke! It was so insanely expensive! Did I say it was expensive!? Bring your bank account routing number! We paid $540 for 4 adults and 1 kid! We got 1 plate of food for all of us and what did that plate consist of? 4 strawberries 4 slices of bananas 4 pieces of cheese 3 pieces of thinly sliced steak and 3 pieces of chicken for 5 people to share! I would never recommend this place!

We first came here 20 years ago and on several ski trips since then. The night gondola ride is always a highlight for kids of all ages as you snuggle in the blankets provided. At the top, we were disappointed to learn of changes in the menu from the traditional raclette and fondue of years past. The waiter explained that guests didn’t understand how to work the raclette melting machine, so they eliminated it. Instead, kale salad to start which is a bummer if you hate kale, no substitutes. Choice of four different cheese combos for the next course with bread and veggies for dipping — best part of the meal due to the tasty cheese blends. The hot pot course offers a choice of broth and leans heavily on red meat, but includes chicken or shrimp. A tiny dab of raclette cheese appeared on a skillet of oily vegetables. Chocolate fondue dessert was disappointing because the chocolate never melted properly and congealed into a lumpy mess. By the time you add the cost of beverages and tip, figure over $100 per person. Way overpriced and I doubt we’ll be back. You can eat much better in that price range, even on a ski resort. Our group enjoyed the country band doing their best to play polkas and beer drinking songs. They should have stayed with the more traditional Swiss German format.

We had heard such good things, so when we booked our ski vacation, we made reservations three weeks ahead. The restaurant confirmed our reservation which by the way, charged us 10.00 a person to make! (We had 6 people, which cost us a total of $60.00, which we were told was a deposit, and would come off the bill when paying for our dinner. That was fine with us, we’ll do that to get a table at such a great place. However, a few days before our trip they emailed my husband and said our reservation was cancelled due to them CHOOSING to be closed that day and THEY NEVER GAVE US OUR MONEY BACK!!!! We called three times to get the runaround! I HAVE NEVER in my life been stolen from / scammed like this! STAY AWAY STAY AWAY STAY AWAY!

This is the first time I have ever left a 1 star review.... ever. Total and complete rip off. Food has no flavor... the most overpriced meal of my life and worst dining experience I can ever remember. Just so bad! Stay away at all costs.

Our hopes were high when we brought our friends from out of town to dine at the top of Keystone Resort. We have dine it once previously, and had a positive experience. Unfortunately this time was nothing like the first. The service was terrible, the food was marginal, the explanations and cooking extraction were minimal and the cost was exorbitantly high. The only positive in this experience was the unique location and company of friends. We will not be spending our money there again.

Awesome fondue experience with live music you almost feel like your in Munich Germany. They definitely give you enough food to leave full. If you have not tried this place out you should. Great service and great food just expect to spend at least 3 hours from the gondola ride to cooking all the food.

We were visiting from Maine for Christmas and our family members from Keystone took us here. What an incredible place! The ride up the mountain in the Gondola was fun and cozy with the blankets provided. Once inside we grabbed a few drinks at the bar while waiting to be seated. The warm Gluwein was delicious and a nice treat by the fire. Dinner and of course dessert were amazing too!! This was one of our most favorite places we visited and we will definitely be back again!

We were really looking forward to this place but it was a HUGE disappointment. Especially considering how expensive it is! The food was subpar, the bar was so tiny I had better selection in a hotel mini bar. You have to take two gondola rides to get up there too so be prepared for that if you have small children. We spent more on this dinner than the amazing elegant Christmas Dinner we had at the Keystone Ranch House. If you want to throw away a lot of money then sure, book here. If you want good food, go absolutely anywhere else.
