    Made a reservation for the restaurant ended up in the pub due to staffing. Crowded and noisey. Limited menu and food was OK. Wine list is limited and overpriced.

    Our experience was great-as always. The vibe in the tavern is fun and boisterous. The decor and ambiance is “upscale lodge” and the service is most always outstanding. They appreciate their local business too and as a result we come fairly often.

    Outstanding. I had the king salmon, and it was seasoned and cooked to perfection! We also had the baked goat cheese. All was amazing.

    Beautiful property, very courteous staff, unfortunately the food was so sub-par it left us feeling bad about deciding to eat here, again for a second night. Every dish, except for the Cauliflower Appy was disappointing. I am not a foodie, nor did I expect 3-4 star food, but what we were served was, maybe 1-2 stars, largely because of the staff and lodge. The kids chicken nugs tasted like days old dry McNuggets. The Charcuterie board was served with old dried meat. The cheese board was made up of cheese crumbles, with the Gouda-like cheese, so old, half the piece was too hard to cut. I could review each of the other dishes but, I’ve already written way more than on any other meal. Suffice to say, will definitely stay at the lodge again, just not eat dinner there. This review takes nothing away from a very courteous staff.

    Food, cocktails and service were outstanding. The only negative was the dining room was closed and dinner was in the bar.

    Very nice dinner, early so rather noisy with children. Server was very smart and held off to place the entrée order since my salad was large, ended up more than I could finish. Saved me money and I really appreciated the attention to detail. Thank you

    We had a very good meal at Rush Creek. We had a 7:30 reservation and were asked if we would be willing to eat in the Tavern. It was very noisy in there with kids so we declined and enjoyed the dining room. Service started out prompt but then took a while at which point they brought both appetizers and the main course at the same time. Portions were large and food was delicious. But I think they were hoping to get us out by 8:30.

    Nice place to go after a day of hiking. Steak frites, salads and fish and chips were good. Mushroom flatbread and thai coconut curry didn't really work unfortunately. Tasty cocktails and super cold beers. Only place to really go so was glad to have it
