We went to the Remedy for a meal after skiing, and eating on the terrace overlooking the mountain with the fireplaces was an amazing vibe for Apres. The Remedy Burger definitely satisfied our cravings for something hearty after being on the slopes and the chocolate chip brownie skillet was as delicious end to our experience!

The food was great. It was a half an hour before we were seated and we got off to a slower start. Once the order was placed, however the service picked up and everything was really delicious.
