   Lunch was good. Dinner was fair. No bread or rolls were served with dinner. When asked the waitress said none was available. Salman and rice were good although a bit dry and ribeye steak was decent. Garlic mashed potatoes and baby carrots were flavorless. Desert was Bavarian Chocolate Torte that was served sans crushed pecans and caramel drizzle as described on the menu. The waitress, while attentive seemed clueless. More training needed. On the plus side it is a beautiful place just not quite a fine dining experience.

   We had a reservation based on the recommendation on the website. We waited quite a bit for our server and ended up getting a different server. I don't think they had enough staff but there were also bigger parties at tables. The drinks took a bit to come, too. There is 1 bar that serves the restaurant and pub. The food itself is okay. We were told they smoke their meat so I got the chili that has brisket. It was good. My husband got the brisket dinner. It was $30. He said it wasn't bad but has had better. The cornbread was a muffin and you had to put a decent amount of butter because it was drier. The menu itself has a variety of options including sandwiches. It's not bad but I wouldn't say there were options that jumped out at me that I had to try.

   2nd time here and this time it was awful!! Food cold, and no taste. For the cost I expected a lot more. Not sure what happened between my first time here and this time, but probably won’t be back! So disappointed because the lodge/restaurant is beautiful. Food was just bad.

   Upon arrival, we was a little bit early. We asked if we could go ahead and be seated and was told no because they had two large parties coming and needed the room. We waited till our reservation time and when we walked in, there was at least eight tables empty. We could've been seated when we asked. The waiter was very nice, but our food was very slow getting out. It took so long that after we finished our appetizers, we asked for our food to be wrapped up to go because we had sat there so long. The place was not that busy. I don't know if they were shortstaffed or what, but a thin built bald man ,which I'm assuming was the manager, was running around and helping waiter staff deliver food and get drinks and so forth. With the tall ceilings The noise level was terrible. There was not that many people there, but you could hardly hear yourself. It was our one year anniversary dinner and I feel that the dinner was ruined. we will not be back, and I would not recommend this place to anybody.

    The food and service for dinner was very good at Rock House! Wonderful ambiance in the new Hocking Hills State Park Lodge. Surprisingly quiet even as the dining room was almost full. Enjoyed beautiful holiday decorations. Super helpful & friendly staff!
