We made a reservation at noon on Saturday as Sun Valley On Ice performers usually start practice around noon, but we were disappointed to discover it was ending. Food is very good but expect Sun Valley Resort prices. It is a pleasant place for lunch.

We had a great experience with terrific food. All eight of us enjoyed what we ordered. The only quibble was with the noise, but that was because of a private party that had reserved half of the available seating ... and the rest of the tables were full as well.

The only issue we had was that we had a reservation for six people and when we arrived at our reservation time, we were informed that we would be seated but there would be a long wait before our service could begin. After about 30 minutes, one of the wait staff came by to say it might be much longer but he was not our waiter. We indicated that it had already been a very long wait and asked him to see if we could get service soon. He checked with the reception desk and came back and said he could take our orders. It seems that the restaurant was severely under staffed. Not a great impression for our first visit.

I sent a private note to the manager of Sun Valley regarding some highly concerning health issues.

I like the new additions to the menu. My short ribs were amazing. We always enjoy the patio in the summer.

Worst experience ever . Ordered salads and prime rib entree. They brought everything at once the salad had no dressing and no taste, the tomato soup had no taste either. The server did not know how to stage the meal in courses, which he admitted due to lack of training. The prime rib was sent back it was medium rare, when they brought it bac later it was grey and well done . The whole experience was the worst. On top of that the manager could have cared less and did nothing, what bad experience. Don't eat there.

As usual, our meal at Gretchen's was outstanding. My husband had the halibut special and side Caesar and I had my favorite meal which is stir fry vegetables and cashews with chicken. Desert was a decadent chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. Gretchen's is our favorite restaurant in Sun Valley.

Food was not great - especially for the price. Service was lackluster. Waitress was very nice but gave us the wrong menu - rather than tell us and ask us to reselect an option based on the correct menu, she simply chose a similar dish for one of us. A dish we never would have chosen. When told about the mistake she didn't offer to get us something else. She did end up comping us the entree but we did not enjoy it. Food felt like conference center food.

Food and wine selection were excellent. Lunch menu available all day. Manager was superb. w reseated us to a table away from a large party giving us more space and privacy.

We came on Valentine's Day. Restaurant Seemed short staffed. My food came before my husbands. We did get complimentary chocolate covered strawberries and the wine pours were big, which was nice. We weren't in a hurry but did notice some other customers frustrated with service. We didn't care so much and the food was excellent
Love the decor, ambiance, low lighting, huge booth my husband and I shared, and the waiter was very nice. Plus, the food was so delicious! Been coming here for years and have always enjoyed the experience.

Had a family dinner during the holidays at Gretchen's in the Sun Valley Resort hotel. We were pleasantly surprised by the great food and service. It may have been the best overall meal we had during the entire trip. The staff was also incredibly detail-oriented and attentive, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable.

There is a breath of fresh air at Gretchen's. I'm very pleased with the food from their new chef and the service was great.

Mara from Croatia was a spectacular server here. Very repondant to refills and checking the quality of out experience. Justin delivered our delicious chili & Salad meals promptly and steaming hot. Thank you for the excellent lunch in the snow covered village. Plus the lavender gin drop was on point and perfect cocktail to warm me up!

Reservation was for outside but when we arrived we were told they were not sitting outside because it was too cold (it was in the 70s, but ok)...than we saw them repeatedly sitting people outside. So rude and not professional.
