About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
Sun Valley’s original restaurant, The Ram has been warming and welcoming diners since 1937. This rustic-yet-elegant dinner house has been recently modernized, while still preserving its historic charm. Pianist Larry Harshbarger brings a classic ambiance to the room with gentle melodies played on our resident baby grand piano. Travel back in time with the nightly “Heritage Menu”—a series of historic dishes such as pork tenderloin schnitzel, Hungarian goulash, and the famous Ram fondue—resurrected from the restaurant’s long and storied culinary tradition.

A credit card is required to hold your reservation. Should your plans change, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance. Last minute cancellations and no shows may be charged $25 per person.

Holiday reservations are not available online, but can be made by calling our guest center at 208.622.2800.

    The Ram at Sun Valley Resort delivered an exceptional dining experience—elegant yet cozy, with service that was warm and attentive. I had the heritage sausage dinner, which was hearty, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented—a true comfort dish elevated. My guests raved about the salmon, cooked to perfection with a delicate, buttery finish, and the schnitzel, crisp and golden with just the right touch of indulgence. A special thanks to Michael for his attentiveness and kindness in making sure my son had space for the stroller—thoughtful touches like that make all the difference. The ambiance, steeped in alpine charm and history, made the whole evening feel like a timeless Sun Valley moment. A must-visit for anyone seeking refined mountain fare.

    Beautiful patio, service was alittle slow, early in the season. Scallops are misrepresented on menu, expected seared not sushi. Crab and apple salad was a huge hit for several of us. One of our favorite places in the valley and they are alittle slow hitting their stride this year, Michael will get it under control.

    Wonderful experience. We are sad you’re not serving fondue anymore. It was our favorite. We loved the piano playing.
