We randomly found this place on OpenTable and BOY are we glad we did! We were staying at the Gaylord and wanted to go off property and Geist was a fifteen minute uber ride away. This was one of the best dinners I’ve had in my life and everyone at my table agreed. We basically ordered everything and tasted everyone’s and wowza, do I wish I lived near here and could go once a week. What a gem of a place!

We sat in the outdoor spring garden space. While it was chilly the fireplaces and heaters made it very comfortable. Our server, Zibby, guided us through the menu and her suggestions were fantastic. Whipped ricotta, fig salad, scallops and tenderloin. Every dish was well prepared, beautifully served and tasty. This was our first visit it will not be our last

A must for sure! My husband is gluten intolerant and they answered all our questions and gave us creative options. Everything was incredibly tasty. Service was impeccable. We had the hand made duck raft pasta and the lamb loin as well as house whipped ricotta. Everything was incredible. I wish we had room for dessert!
