    Enjoyed the lamb loin entry, it was quite good, cooked as agreed and portioned well. The fig salad for appetizer was portioned well and tasty - I should have asked for dressing on the side as it was applied heavily. The beet salad appetizer my spouse had was also good. The scallops - listed as appetizer, but spouse had as their entre - were tender and cooked nicely (which can be a challenge with scallops to keep them tender and not chewy), however they were significantly over-salted so she ate maybe half - would have sent them back had the server been around a bit more and maybe asked. Service was decent, don’t be in a rush for sure and our server had five tables that I could see her waiting on, including a party of 6or7, possibly one or two in the room I could not see…probably a table or two too many, but she was pleasant, professional and navigated my food allergies well so a couple minor items here and there no big deal. Our dinner for two: beet salad, fig salad, scallop appetizer for a main and lamb loin, only one cocktail and no wine was $189 with tip.

    Went to Geist for my birthday dinner and they took very good care of us :). Although some portions were slightly smaller than expected, the food was mouth-watering and delicious. Drinks were yummy, the champagne garden was beautiful, and our server was amazing.

    Four of us attended Geist on Valentine’s Day for dinner. We were seated in the outside area which has a beautiful ambience but the evening was quite cold so we wore our winter coats throughout the dinner. The outside area has two fireplaces and one standup propane heater but it was still cold. Perhaps they could procure one or two more heaters? The service was fantastic and the fixed menu excellent. Three of us ordered the scallops starter and the filet mignon main. Excellent! One of us ordered the salmon which he said was very good. The dessert menu was limited to two items which were good. Maybe next year they could add a chocolate dessert option? Geist is excellent and we would definitely go back. Considering how very busy the restaurant was, the service and kitchen staff delivered! Great job!

    Overpriced food is my biggest issue. The ambiance is far more appealing than the food options and flavors. I enjoyed the service but one memory I have is the dry cake for dessert. We went in Valentine’s Day so maybe that could be a factor to the overall experience.
