Restaurants near Appert Lake National Wildlife Refuge

As always, the Butterhorn is a great place to enjoy friends, food, and drink. Great selections and wonderful staff.

Ambience and decor is beautiful and relaxing. Service was lovely! Tia did a wonderful job as well as manager/assistant mgr stopping by to ask how everything was. Food was very good, but a tad overpriced IMO. Dessert and specialty drinks were delicious! Highly recommend, just be aware, cost will be about $75 per person.

We love the spot for date night as we have historically had a great experience. However, this time it was sub-par. I think this was solely a service issue. Not sure if our server was new or just spacey. We ordered calamari, cacio e pepe, spicy shrimp, and one other pasta dish that I can recall the name. Fridays are seafood night and knowing this, we had to ask our server for a specials menu. So unfortunate for those who would miss out just from not knowing to ask! We ordered all small portions to share. The calamari was cold and and the breading fell off I think because it had been sitting, the shrimp and cacio e pepe were room temperature. But the other pasta dish (sausage with red sauce and peppers) was hot, luckily! I know how food all of these dishes ate normally so it was a bit disappointing! Mind you the place was not overly busy. We sat for 20 minutes following eating and then had to still ask our server for the bill. I think this was purely a service issue as I know the food can be great. I hope there is room for improvement or it would be hard to continue to go back to pay for a barely warm dinner.
