My wife and I got married here and have always had a great experience in the 6 years we have come back and dined. Great ambiance, excellent service and very good food.

Astounding ribeye! Obviously beautiful view and ambiance. Pricey but worth it for a special occasion.

Got wine and dessert. The wine was all ok we tried so many wines and all agreed we didn't like any enough to buy a bottle of it. The desserts were good.

Service was really bad. It took 5+ minutes to be greeted after being seated. They got our order wrong and took 15+ minutes to bring us a dessert menu.

Last night in the restaurant celebrating our Anniversary! All did great! Will come back next time but will stay in a house and not in the Lodge.

Been to this restaurant multiple times and it never disappoints! The service and food are both incredible.

Almost super yummy steak and flat bread. Menu changes and sometimes options for salads and flatbread are better than others. Servers are nice and helpful. Dining room is really bright which is my only complaint as it takes away from the “classy” factor but great for big groups and families.

I’ve been going to Swiftwater Cellars since it first opened, and it’s never once disappointed. Whether with friends or family, it’s always my favorite place to bring people for a great meal. The food is consistently delicious, and the service is exceptional—friendly, attentive waitstaff who make you feel right at home. It’s the perfect spot for celebrating, catching up, or just enjoying a lovely evening out in Suncadia. A true gem!

Based on this experience... the fig flatbread is a hit if you love figs. Plenty of them. Burger was great and specially drinks were delightful. Trevor was great.

Food is good, service is great, but prices are high for the area, and kids meals are outrageously priced at $18 for Mac and cheese or grilled cheese.

This beautiful resort offers a peaceful escape right in the middle of Washington state. I have booked the resort for a work retreat, family vacation and couple get away. The hotel rooms and restaurant are warm, inviting, and perfect for a cozy getaway. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere, often filled with families and couples enjoying a night out, which adds to the charm. The menu is relatively simple—featuring pizza/flatbreads, steaks, a pasta dish, and a few fish entrées—but everything we tried was delicious. While the food quality is excellent, the pricing felt a bit high given the casual, laid-back vibe of the place. One of the highlights is the outdoor seating area, where you can soak in the lush, green hillside views. It’s a great spot to relax while the kids run around and enjoy the open space. Overall, a lovely stay and dining experience—just be prepared for resort-level prices.

This is our third visit this year, and we were not disappointed! Fabulous food. Attentive staff. We absolutely love that you allow behaved dogs indoors. We are very much looking forward to our next visit in the summer out on the patio.

I had my wedding here during the winter and it was just exquisite. Nicole and Emma (the event coordinators) were just so wonderful to work with and went above and beyond my expectations to make sure that the ceremony and reception were done just right. They really took the stress off my back. The pastry chef that I hired to make my cake had was missing one of the attachments for his stand mixer and Nicole was so sweet and was able to locate one he could borrow. If ever you're looking for a romantic wedding venue with awesome service and a peaceful vibe, this is the place.

Great meal! Easy to make a reservation and the menu is expansive. All of the food and drinks were delicious!

Waitress seemed overwhelmed. Fried calamari was soggy since the ponzu sauce was already on it )this should be a dip). Food overall was ok. It's been better before.

When I eat out I want the food to be as good or better than what I can fix at home. Both the food and the service are consistently excellent at Hoist House - and it is the restaurant we frequent more than any other in the area. We most often come in for lunch - and enjoy the flatbreads and salads (they have a wonderful Caesar that is excellent topped with blackened steelhead!) . For dinner, you can't beat the steak - but I had a pork tenderloin the other night (with braised red cabbage and potatoes) that melted in my mouth. Can't wait to enjoy those leftovers! We love the vibe in this beautiful lodgy building - and switch it up between the high tops in the bar and the comfy couches in the lobby. The restaurant space is great for a more special occasion. And once the sun is shining, you can't beat the outdoor space overlooking the golf course. And finally, the wine. Also consistently excellent!
