Harvest Restaurant At Mountain Lake Lodge

BIG quantity; heavy on the meat. Spouse's pork chop 'best he has ever had'. I ordered way too much dinner; two 'small plates' would have worked for me. Trails around lake bed in good shape.

What a treat! The food was not only delicious but we had live music while eating. It was just the right volume too so we could still talk at the table. Carrie waited on us and was a delight! She added so much to our experience at Harvest. We will definitely be back when we are in the area.

We went there for lunch on a Sunday and the place was almost empty. We were wasted on the patio by the windows and had a beautiful view to enjoy. Service was very attentive and food very good. Our favorite was the tomato soup with croutons and the mushrooms burger.

The Buffet was served that day as I understand it. They do buffet instead of à la cart, depending on the amount of registrations at the lodge that day. It was delicious. I highly recommend the biscuits and gravy. The staff is very friendly and the service was excellent. The only reason I did not give a five of five In all areas is because the website said we had to have a reservation and could choose where we would like to be seated. When we got there, no reservation was needed. It was first come first serve so neither day did we get to sit on the porch as requested. Maybe in the future, they will fix it for those that took the time to make a reservation to ensure to reserve them a table In the area requested.

We dined at Harvest for dinner and breakfast. Both our waitresses were attentive and helped make the experience pleasant. The food was delicious and the warm rolls were an extra treat. The menu is perfect for a lodge atmosphere. The wild game stew and wild boar squash soup were both excellent. Portions were generous.

We have been customers since our honeymoon in 1993. Frequent visitors. We had a party of 6 with reservations for 12 noon on Saturday to celebrate my 70th birthday. There were no other customers in the main room but us; there was one group out on the screened porch. Our orders were taken and beverages provided by 12:15. Then a large (20+) Team Building Group came in and were seated in large side room at 12:30p. They were served immediately. They ate and left about 1p. We were still waiting! We were told about 1:10p that our orders would be served in a moment or two; and that they were sorry but out of lobster bisque soup. We were served about 1:15p. We were told that they DID have lobster bisque so that was good news, and overall the food was very good. We especially liked the burgers. This was the first time the other 2 couples with us had ever been to Mountain Lake or eaten there; so they (and we) were not impressed with the l-o-n-g wait. The stafff were nice and friendly.

Limited menu due to weekend festival.

Elk stroganoff was enjoyable; fresh whole trout was tasty; appys yummy. Good value; good air circulation. Campy view. Lake dried up 4 years ago. Apparently it happens every 400 years.

First meal was lunch- ordered the sausage which was over loaded with some sort of in house spice concocution..overbearing ....second meal was dinner - ordered the bison burger- specifically asked for plan -no salt or spice- this too still arrived coated with the secret in house spice mix. Send it back ? Well we waited long over an hour to receive our food and by this point we just wanted out of there. P.S we canceled breakfast...Bon Appetit

We ordered 2 burger and one cheese plate. It took 1 hour 30 to get served. The restaurant wasn't even full. The burger was cold and not cooked medium rare. The service was aweful. Lots of server running around but not paying attention. I would really not recommend this restaurant. If I could give 0 I would do it.

This place is just so good! Everytime I visit Mountain Lake, I look forward to visiting the Harvest. Great food for good price and the Dirty Dancing atmosphere is a great feeling.

It took 1 1/4 hours to get our meals for 6. Several groups that came after us received meals before us. Once we asked about our meals they were served instantly. That seemed really odd. Beautiful place though

We were hoping for fine dining and wonderful views. The food was good but average. The views were obscured by too many large trees that were not needed on the property. It is a fun casual atmosphere and a fun place to visit vs fine dining. The main lodge is still intriguing and fun to behold. We would visit again for their brunches and outdoor atmosphere vs fine dining. Ps: plug the lake leak...

We went for breakfast one of our mornings staying at the lodge. We looked the menu ahead of time and made our reservation. When we were seated we were told the breakfast buffet was out to please help ourselves and asked what drink we wanted besides water. We were very confused due the fact that the menu online says nothing about a buffet and shows a sit down breakfast menu. The price was not advertised anywhere but we had trouble flagging someone down so we just decided to help ourselves to the buffet. Overall the food was your typical breakfast buffet decent food depending on your choices. We finished eating and the check was brought to us. $20 a person! And our terrible cup of coffee was $3 extra each! If we knew if was buffet style we would have never chosen to have breakfast here. The only good thing was we were sat at "Babys table" from the movie and got some good photos. If breakfast buffets are your thing then I guess I recommend but otherwise I would save yourself the money and bring your own breakfast for the stay. Just keep in the mind the main lodge rooms don't have a fridge in them

It was a great experience. Mountain Lake Resort is a unique and special place. The Harvest was perfect. Excellent menu, pricing and quality. Because of that dining experience we are are going back to stay for the weekend.
