About Tipsy Trout

Tipsy Trout offers delicious seafood, with standout dishes including seafood pasta, hot lobster roll, crab cake sliders, and scallops. The trout was piquant perfection, and the scallops were equally delicious. The restaurant has a cozy bar atmosphere and serves great cocktails, though the $25 martinis were much smaller than typical. The hand rolls were itty bitty, and portions are small. There are issues with service, including slow and forgetful staff, as well as seating management. Some bartenders, like Carl, are attentive, while others ignore guests. The restaurant is not very accommodating for gluten-friendly or dairy-free diets, and allergen labels are missing. The decor is gorgeous, and it’s a nice place to relax after skiing or snowboarding, though drinks and extras like the surprise $20 birthday plate are overpriced. They offer tasty wine options, including Bordeaux by the glass, with sustainability nods. Recently, the restaurant experienced staffing problems that affected service, causing long waits and difficulty in ordering, with some utensils and silverware running out. Despite these issues, the food was prepared very well and was flavorful, and the staff that attended tables was prompt and timed everything perfectly. The restaurant, being part of a resort hotel, has prices that reflect that environment but remains a worthwhile visit. It’s an elegant place to dine after a day on the slopes, offering a cozy atmosphere and tasty seafood options.
