   The menu is inventive and exciting, and even the classic dishes we tried had little creative twists that would bring us back in a heartbeat. We had the Italian-style wagyu burger and the BCS lamb, which were both excellent. The show-stopper, though, was the lobster ravioli, which was MUCH more lobster than ravioli and featured Korean spices, kimchi spiced greens and kelp oil. We were so impressed with this dish that we had to ask specifically about the ingredients. Sometimes restaurants try to make ordinary food sound extraordinary by using fancy words to describe it, but this menu felt like the opposite. This was an east-meets-west mashup of fascinating ingredients and extraordinary techniques that was presented without fuss or pretension. Some of the prices were on the high side, but for the quality of the food and the inventiveness of its preparation, we found it completely worthwhile.

   It would have been really good, but the service to our table was very poor. Server seemed to be going through the motions and took forever to get me my drink, after the salad was served.

   While we were incredibly grateful for the Thanksgiving dinner and all the staff that worked on Thanksgiving day, the dinner just missed the mark for us. What was especially disappointing was the dessert buffet. Instead of having a variety of what seemed like store bought desserts, I just wish they had a couple flavors of freshly made fall pies. Also, despite having a booking in the dining room for the Thanksgiving dinner, we were seated in the mostly empty restaurant/bar. We’ve both stayed and dined at the Sun Mountain lodge on multiple occasions, but this Thanksgiving dinner unfortunately has been our least favorite.

   Thanksgiving dinner was overpriced for the dried out turkey we received. Sauces overpowered meat. Wine list not up to date. Service slow. Disappointed as meals during prior visits have always been fine. Will choose other dining options while staying at SunMountain.

   Order the crab cakes and you won't go wrong. Make a reservations so you get a table by the windows. Great ambience.

    We tried the fish and the steak - both expertly cooked. The al dente vegetables were great too! Add to that the dry Riesling, the Sun Mountain red blend, and two of the desserts and we ended up with an excellent dinner! The view from the restaurant is pretty amazing!
