Really solid mountain-side hotel dining. Don’t expect fine dining, but do expect a warm environment with good cocktails, wine and food. Highly recommend the Caesar if you’re good with Brussels sprouts and the stracciatella starter. Kids loved the pizzas.

We really enjoyed a lovely meal in the main dining room which is beautiful with its comfortable leather chairs and old metal chandelier. Our server Sean was attentive and helpful. He did a great job. The food was outstanding. The chicken schnitzel is unlike any other I’ve ever had and was moist with a wonderful sauce over wilted spinach. My wife’s chile relleno was also very unique and delicious. The cocktails were perfect and we really enjoyed the evening.
