   The menu on line is not the same as the menu at the restaurant. I had the chicken marsala and it was very good. Moist with lots of flavour. I would order it again. We had a table by the window and had a gorgeous view of the lake and snow capped mountains.

   The service wasn’t good and food was mediocre. The burger was very undercooked and the salad was not worth $26 at all.

   Everything was very good EXCEPT the chicken Marsala was terrible . The asparagus was overcooked of course and hard to find a mushroom on the plate, the Marsala sauce was almost non Existant and worst of all the entree was not warm at all, sadly 2 people in Our party ordered this. The bison bolognese wax delicious. And the bison chili was pretty good

   Food was subpar for price. Service was slow and all was available was lunch at 4 pm. Still 100 bucks. No alcohol

   I requested to sit at a specific table and the receptionist didn’t appear to be annoyed whatsoever. As a matter of fact, she went above and beyond to make it happen!

   We felt the service was TERRIBLE! All I ordered was the soup and a Caesar salad with salmon. I asked for the soup first. Never got the soup. Our server never was around to even mention that something was amiss. We felt all the food was either too sweet ( the 4 scallops with the too sweet beet risotto), the Bison Osso Bucco was bland and not hot, the Cioppino bland. The prices were too high for the quality of the food, the way it was prepared and especially the service. Read the reviews on line. We should have not gone. Fortunately we had great company with us!

    Slow. Had to wait for hostess to appear when we arrived at our reservation time, once the seemingly distracted hostess arrived had to wait some more for our table to be prepared. Waitress was prompt and friendly. Food was slow arriving. Vesper martini was unavailable from the bar. Very efficient and friendly valet service.
