   Awesome place, great food and service, can’t give a 5 star though, reservation table was over 30 minutes late!! Understand but that’s the only reason.

   Thank you for your patience Michael. It was one of the busiest evenings of the winter. We could have communicated better on your table status.

   Elkins Restaurant never fails to deliver beautiful ambiance, tasty food and excellent friendly service. We shared the Tomahawk Ribeye which was excellent!

   A charming, wonderful place to pass a meal - props to the warm and historic setting. Friendly service, however quite a wait for dinners and no communication during the wait. I'd like to see Elkins provide a small complimentary loaf of warm bread to tide you over during the long wait. It's a small, inexpensive gesture to diners. However wonderful, flavorful pepper steak with their amazing signature peppercorn sauce. Accompanying asparagus was fresh and perfectly cooked, and the mashed potatoes were abundant and tasty. We shared a huckleberry crisp dessert. Highly recommended! This is a memorable place with wonderful food where you can make many nice memories.

   The service was excellent. Our server had a wonderful personality. The bone in pork loin was one of the best meals I've ever had. And, of course, you can't beat Elkins for ambiance.

   We absolutely loved our dining experience at Elkin's resort. The dining room is a cozy log cabin with a fireplace. The windows are large and have stunning views of Priest Lake. Service was exceptional. Food top notch. The first night I had the halibut and second night the seafood etouffee and both were outstanding. We shared an order of the cajun pickles which came with a zippy sauce on top-we ordered them both nights!

   Ordered a Strawberry Spinach salad, bone-in pork loin, wedge salad and Papperdelle short ribs. Everything was mouth-watering delicious. Perfectly prepared! The service was excellent. The wait staff was cheerful and quick. Although the dining room was busy, the noise level was nice. Elkins was honestly one of the best dining experiences we've had.

    The food was good and the ambiance is great for a lake side lodge. The service was terrible- all due to our waiter. He was condescending & incompetent. He went out of his way to ignore us for some reason. We were never asked if everything was okay and did we need anything else. We were never given an opportunity to order another beverage. Even though we ordered cocktails we were charged for soda waters which were never refilled. After we finished eating he finally came to our table and smelled like he’d just smoked a cigarette. We declined dessert so he then proceeded to ignore us some more - actually cleared a table next to ours and visited another table with young ladies several times to shoot the breeze before finally bringing us our bill. mind boggling. We won’t be back - too bad as we had looked forward to eating there each night of our stay.

    Thank you for sharing your experience. We have spoken with the server and communicated how not to handle himself. We apologize for the sub-standard service. It is not what we expect from our team.
