Restaurants near Manning Park Resort

We found the seating chairs to be inadequate to support us when we sat on them. We are not that heavy, but we found that the cushions and suspension of the chair seat cushion was failing. We had to pick other chairs in order to find a better chair to sit on that was more comfortable, which was unsuccessful. Our server was very helpful and able to accommodate us as we requested. Some of the staff need to be educated as to not reaching across to fill a glass full of water. Proper serving and etiquette.

The menu is inventive and exciting, and even the classic dishes we tried had little creative twists that would bring us back in a heartbeat. We had the Italian-style wagyu burger and the BCS lamb, which were both excellent. The show-stopper, though, was the lobster ravioli, which was MUCH more lobster than ravioli and featured Korean spices, kimchi spiced greens and kelp oil. We were so impressed with this dish that we had to ask specifically about the ingredients. Sometimes restaurants try to make ordinary food sound extraordinary by using fancy words to describe it, but this menu felt like the opposite. This was an east-meets-west mashup of fascinating ingredients and extraordinary techniques that was presented without fuss or pretension. Some of the prices were on the high side, but for the quality of the food and the inventiveness of its preparation, we found it completely worthwhile.

Longshots steakhouse was very good. We ski every year at Apex and the last two years we have noticed that the Gunbarrel saloon has disappointed us. We used to look forward to the Gunbarrel but this year and last year the food took a long time during lunch time to get to us and the food quality and selection has gotten worse. There was a private event in the other dining room on Wednesday around noon which was probably the cause of the slow food service. Please block tables if the chefs can’t keep up with the food preparations. My wife and I almost cancelled our Longshot’s reservation due to the decline of the Gunbarrel saloon. To be specific, out meals at the Gunbarrel on Wednesday 21 Feb were not very good (Fried chicken sandwich and the French Dip sandwich).
