   The food was outstanding and a great value for Mothers Day. Unfortunately, it was a bit chaotic due to the construction currently going on in the front of the lodge. Had I known that this was going on before I booked the brunch I would have decided to go elsewhere. It was not as relaxing as I had wanted the event to be and not "pretty" as the lodge usually is. Kinda of a "MUDDY MESS"

   Food was really excellent (ribeye and walleye). Service (Iryna) was beyond perfect- what a welcoming and delightful person.

   Excellent! Fantastic service from Jessica….even with lots of large (golf group) tables. The seafood special was wonderful. Each entree, small plate, and dessert was enjoyed by everyone in our party!

   The day we were there it was very load and the grounds were under construction. Prime rib was good but roasted chicken seasoning was odd. Twice baked potato’s were cold. It was a birthday dinner average at best.

   16oz ribeye was very good, grilled nicely. Caesar salad was excellent. Baked potato a bit undercooked. "Hunter" chicken did not have authentic hunter sauce and was heavily over-salted. With quality options sparse in the Brainerd Lakes, a decent, if pricey, meal in a historic old lodge.

    We had a later reservation and the restaurant was not busy but we were sat next to the other 2 tables with guests. Would have been nice to spread out. Asked about the specials and they were described but without a price. Cocktails were very expensive. Water glasses were not refilled. Food was good but very expensive for the serving size. We were celebrating a birthday and anniversary and were treated to complimentary cakes. If you are looking for a splurge this is the restaurant. Our table of 4 was around $400+ with tip.

    I was blown away by the accommodations and service of Grandveiw as a whole but my expectations of the Easter buffet were not. Food quality was fine but Options were limited and the price was expensive. Would definitely choose another option if I return.

    Our group of 6 had an excellent meal at Char. The food was phenomenal, and the service was amazing. My scallops were done perfectly. My husbands walleye was delicious and the prime rib was excellent. Our waitress Jessica was so good. She was friendly and fast, we never had to wait for anything. Overall a top notch meal and experience with our family.

    We have been to Grandview several times, but hadn’t been to Char before. We decided to try the bone-in, dry aged ribeye after it was highly recommended and the special which was risotto with shrimp and scallops. The special was beyond amazing - I wish this was on the menu all the time because I would get it over and over again. The cocktails were also great, and our service was overall good, but our server literally interrupted us in the middle of placing our drink order to say hi to another person dining - which felt really weird. The big disappointment was incidentally the steak. We ordered it medium rare and the closest we got to this was a slightly medium center. The edges and most of the steak were well-done, or even beyond - which was a weird dry and chewy experience that I’ve never had, especially on such an expensive steak.

    Very good food, but a bit over priced. Fine dining restaurant located over the pub so very noisy once the music began. Very close seating accommodations made it difficult to visit with my party.

    Delicious food! Just a little more expensive than anticipated. The sides are all a la carte. For a Spring Break vacation meal, it was definitely a treat but $400 for a family of five is excessive.

    The breakfast buffet at Grand View Lodge is great with a wide variety of options. It's nice that they mix up the offerings each day so that you get even more variety when you stay a few days. Quality of the food is always top-notch and somehow they manage to serve the fruit at peak ripeness. Service is always friendly and attentive.
