Went for anniversary dinner with family. Nice decor though trying too hard to be high end when it's not. Prices high for the area but not outrageous. Food was great. Need a lot more staff though everyone was really nice. Only weird part is they are 500ft from a huge salmon fishing river and have salmon picture all over but only serve frozen catch from the deep Atlantic. That makes absolutely no sense.

I made a reservation for 2 at 6:30 on a Saturday. When we arrived they took us to the back room next to a table with a baby. We ordered drinks and 30 minutes later are told the beer ordered is out and we ordered something else... it took 45 minutes to get our drinks. I ordered filet and one piece was cooked fine the other was very raw and they took it back to cook it longer. They put a solid cold puck of some herb butter over my medium warm food, it was weird and I put it to the side. We were filling our own water with a pitcher left out on the counter. For the prices I was very disappointed. The service was poor, the back room ambiance wasn't great, the food was not that good. I was really disappointed.

Omg. BEST BEST BEST meal I have had in a long time. The meat and cheese tray was a tasty, and artistic success. The Ahi Tuna was perfect and the Venison Chops were amazing. The prime rib was a little overpriced for a 12oz but it was cooked to perfection. Overall worth the money.

Soup of the day was delicious, Philly cheese steak. My issue was that our food was not brought out at same time. I don't like to eat before everyone has their food. Also when we first walked into the bar, there was a very musty smell that really prevented me from wanting to stay for a meal. Maybe because they just opened the doors. Our beverages were very good. I had the Tailwater Lager and my husband had a flight of beer. Servers were very friendly and service was prompt. Menu items were very expensive but maybe all restaurants are getting that way. $16 for the pretzel app.

We're staying at the lodge and tried to order food from the restaurant. We were told there were no reservations available for the entire day, no worries we'll just order and eat it in our room. I call later to order and nobody answers so we have to walk down and order in person. I order and they say they'll call my room when it's ready. An hour and a half later with no call I go down to the restaurant and ask about my food... THEY NEVER EVEN STARTED IT.I now have two kids starving in my room and their only response was "Oh yeah, sorry, we'll put that in now". I didn't need to re-state the order because they had the order, they just never started it.For context some folks who ordered at the same time as me had their order ready and never received a call, they had to just go and check to figure out their food had been ready and sitting there for a while.It's been almost 2 hrs and I have yet to receive my food.:Update: After waiting at the front station (in the photo) for 45 minutes they gave me my order and I paid. Halfway back to my room I noticed ITS NOT MY ORDER. I just paid for someone else's order and after going back and talking to what seems to be the manager they STILL haven't started my order... this is insane.:Update 2: Right when I got back to my room they called me to say they "found" my order. I'm now eating a luke warm, FULL PRICE burger. That's right, 3+ hours of nonsense and they still charged me full price, no offer of a drink while I stood there and waited, no attempt to so customer service at all. This restaurant is a joke at the expense of the people staying here. If I could give it 0 stars I absolutely would, worse customer service than McDonalds.

Had an amazing experience at the spa today. Would highly recommend it! Staff was super friendly, greeted us, showed us around, explained everything in detail. Spa was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Our massage therapist was amazing (Todd). Hot tub was relaxing, Sauna was hot! Plenty to drink and snacks and calming muisc. Just a very very relaxing experience with lots of options and the ability to take our time and relax to enjoy the amenities.

It was a very relaxing day! The spa is clean and well stocked with beverages and snacks. Staff is very friendly. I had the best massage! I will definitely be back!

Found the menu very limited and significantly over priced. would have liked a steak but wasn't paying $85.00 a plate for one. Maybe offer something a bit less for steaks. Candied Bacon whiskey drink was very good. The prime rib was fairly bland. The Crème Brule was a tasty.

Food and staff were wonderful! Drinks are a bit expensive ($19 for a martini). We had difficulty finding the restaurant entrance on our own. It was not well marked and seems to be in the center of the complex. Although our reservation said reserved 1-1/2 hrs, we were able to stay for almost double that time as they were not very busy.

We did spa treatments in the am. Spent the afternoon in the indoor pool and outdoor jacuzzi. Finished the day with dinner at the Lodge, Saturday is slow roasted prime rib. Done perfect. The soup of the day was chipotle corn chowder was also delish. Good bar specialty menu, great draft beer selection and food made for a memorable evening.

Had the special appetizers (duck wings & Korean BBQ ahi sliders) as well as the special dinner (queen cut prime rib). Everything was very tasty, but the wings were

This is our second time at the restaurant, first was a year ago and the food was so good. This time I was sadly LET DOWN! Waitress was taking shots at the bar, my risotto was so mushy and watery, the spinach with my dinner was raw and just thrown on there. The saving grace was the scallops were amazing, but for $38 for 5 scallops and to hate the sides it was HIGHLY DISAPPOINTING. Sad to see a restaurant fall so flat in a years time. Won't be going back.
