Food was quite good and we were lucky to get a window seat overlooking the falls to celebrate a birthday. Service was a bit spotty. ( water not refilled) We waited after our meal was cleared to order dessert for the birthday girl, but the server just dropped off the check without asking. Might still be a staffing issue. We'll still gi back for the food and view

My husband took me to The Restaurant at Salish Lodge/Spa on Mother's day and it did not disappoint. We had the best table by the window with a clear view of the waterfall, which was a bonus. Our server, Jessica was wonderful, so friendly, fun & very accommodating. The "honey from heaven" was so fun for our son. We had the set menu for brunch - soooo much food! Everything was so delicious! Jack, the bus boy was just as friendly, accommodating & so kind, which made our dining experience so enjoyable! We plan to go there every year on Mother's day. Great place to eat, go sight-seeing afterwards, go hiking, spend time with family.

Positives: the food is absolutely amazing. Delicious and reasonably (imo) priced Cons: I made a reservation for 12pm and was not seated until about 12:20. It took over an hour for our food to be served after we ordered; tables nearby that had arrived after us were served first. They were out of fresh juice. When I called to make the reservation they did not inform me that the main restaurant was closed for construction and instead we were seated in the Attic, which has terrible acoustics and is very darkly lit which was disappointing on a nice day and we did not get any views of the falls.
I always love being here and even with a few renovations going on, we were guided along well. I reserved same day for my birthday and was not disappointed. Thanks again to Jessica and all the others right down to the gentlemen at the valet...Thanks again
We did not realize the restaurant was being remodeled and is now located where the attic was. The only negative is it's so loud it's difficult to hear each other. Not very relaxing.
Really wish it was communicated that the restaurant was under construction at this time. We were sat upstairs and the environment felt hectic and loud. It was extremely difficult to hear each other at our table. Our server, while very friendly, forgot to put a portion of our order in and seemed very busy and stressed running around.

Would have been all 5 stars except they were under construction. We were unaware prior to booking. Temporary dining room is small and dark. We had a nice table by the window. Tables were tight.
Jessica was a fantastic server who made the experience complete. The location is unbeatable and the food was delightful. 10/10 recommend the Seafood Cobb Salad and mimosas with fresh pressed juice blends

Dined in The Attic (as the main DIning Room is closed for remodeling) but the food was from the Dining Room kitchen. This was an exceptional experience of perfectly-prepared food (filet mignon & halibut) from wonderful ingredients with excellent service in an attractive venue. Nice extra touches: bread served with balsamic vinegar and a flaming candle of olive oil, and milk chocolate sweets to conclude the meal. The pace here is leisurely, which is fine when you are staying in the lodge and in no hurry (and with someone you love talking with). The wine list is the weak link here but there are some decent options.

From being greeted and seated, to being welcomed by our server, we had an amazing experience. We were seated by the window with a view of the the most gorgeous waterfall. The ambience of the restaurant is warm and inviting and the food outstanding! I would highly recommend this restaurant whether staying at the lodge of while visiting in the area.
The entire experience was consistent with my absolute favorite. From the valet, reception, and waitstaff, everyone is exceptional. The meal itself was fantastic and thoughtful of any dietary concerns and preferences. The spring fern salad was unique and delicious! Clams, salmon, rabbit pasta, asparagus side dish, and, of course, the chocolate mouse cake were all exceptional. Then, on top of that, as a little treat, we also got a complimentary shrimp ceviche appetizer and exquisite caramels.

The whole experience was absolutely incredible! Customer service was off the hook, food was amazing and the views are dreamy! On top of that our server Athena was sooooo good! Made us feel at home and gave us an over the top experience!

I am absolutely blown away at the commitment to service, and willingness to go above and beyond to make an evening special!I asked a tall order for my wife and I’s 1 year anniversary, and they absolutely astounded us in every way! I called a few days prior, and spoke to Jackson, who was able to get us a more preferable booking time. But he didn’t stop there! He also coordinated with the pastry chef to make us an amazing, sugar free desert; to accommodate a sugar allergy. Luvlee was our waitress, and she was absolutely amazing! So sweet, and cheerfully excited for us, that she truly became an integral part of our celebration!All in all, this was the best dining experience of our lives! We will gladly be returning next year! Honestly, the service was so good; we are considering this location for a future vow renewal ?Thank you so, so much to everyone that worked so hard to make our night special! We really couldn’t have asked for anything more.Dietary restrictions: They accommodated a sugar allergy, and made us a delicious desert that we could eat!

We had brunch for my daughter's 9th birthday and everyone there was amazing. The food was delicious and our server was so sweet. My daughter's only request is that she would love it if there was a chocolate cake or dessert option as a birthday treat next year. :-)
I wanted so badly to enjoy this experience but it took 10 minutes for anyone to talk to us, we order a bottle of wine which took 15 minutes to arrive at the table but I'm assuming it wasn't chilled so he put it in the bucket hoping it would get as cold as possible while he ignored us for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, he came around to open the bottle, pour glasses and take our order. We also had roasted garlic/olive oil candle/balsamic vinegar but no bread for the first 20 minutes. We ordered the asparagus soup, halibut and the asparagus risotto. The halibut would have been fantastic, but it was cold. Asparagus soup wasn't seasoned and it was cold. Risotto was just eh. They're remodeling so I understand it's a little chaotic but it felt like we were a second thought.
