Really great views. Not full service. You have to order and they’ll bring it to you
Good food and great view of the lake and mountains from the patio.
Music night on the outdoor patio overlooking Lake Winnepesauke and the surrounding mountains is a must try experience.

The Carriage House Restaurant at Castle in the Clouds offers a unique dining experience set in a historic building with stunning views of lakes and mountains. The restaurant is located on a winding road, but the scenic journey is worth it. Inside, the atmosphere is cozy, especially with features like an inviting fireplace and the chance to dine in what used to be stables, creating a cool and memorable vibe. The outdoor patio provides breathtaking views, making it an ideal spot for relaxing meals, especially on clear days.
The menu is limited, with items like chicken salad sandwiches and lamb shank receiving praise for their taste and presentation. The food is fresh, well-prepared, and complements the beautiful natural surroundings. Many visitors enjoy the atmosphere and scenery, considering it a memorable place to connect with nature and enjoy good food.
However, some reviews mention concerns about service and pricing. The restaurant operates with a counter-service style, where customers order at the bar and bring their drinks to the table, with an 18% mandatory tip included. This has led to mixed feelings about tipping practices, with some feeling it is not always clear or appropriate. The food quality and menu options are viewed as modest, and some wish for a more upscale, high-end dining experience with better menu choices and table service.
Overall, the Carriage House Restaurant is appreciated for its historic charm, spectacular views, and natural beauty, making it a popular spot for visitors seeking a scenic meal and a touch of history in the Lakes Region.
