Lovely setting and received a warm welcome upon arrival. Unfortunately, the service was very disappointing and generally there was no effort made to create a repore with our party. It was quiet in the restaurant so don’t believe it was due to anyone being overwhelmed. We weren’t asked for further beverages, coffee, tea or other for dessert. Food for the most part was good however a few items were cold but the majority of our group enjoyed there meals. We left without any appreciation for us choosing this restaurant and unfortunately will not recommend.

I had my second weird experience at the Den at Nita Lake Lodge and felt compelled to review. Made a reservation a week in advance. Arrived to an empty restaurant, and was seated, not at one of several empty table enjoying the spectacular lake and mountain views but at the first table inside the transitioning restaurant/ lobby area so we could enjoy the I guess the ambience of people walking by? We asked if we could have a table with views to the lake. This resulted in an awkward standing in the middle of the restaurant while our host asked someone in the kitchen if it was ok for us to be seated in an empty table with views. This ultimately led to us being seated. By the end of our evening we remained the only group seated at a window seat in an otherwise sparsely populated room- ie our request did not displace other guests with reservations who might have been more important. Food was very good, and our server excellent- very sweet and professional. The previous time unfortunately was similar where we arrived to an empty restaurant without a reservation and were told we could not be accommodated without a reservation- which we were additionally told we couldn't do in person and had to do online. Right out of Twilight Zone. We left. The setting, food and restaurant servers are all great in our experiences. I'll probably go again at some point but I'd go more regularly if they acted like they appreciated my business, as opposed to feeling like we were somehow disrupting their plans.

We had a fantastic meal at Nita Lake Lodge's "The Den" last night. We opted for the tasting menu, which came with a. Amuse Bouche du jour, Tuna Tataki, spicy rigatoni, vegetable kofia, chocolate torte, and a lemon custard. Everything was super tasty and the service was phenomenal, which made for the perfect way to celebrate a birthday. We'll be back for sure next time we're in town.
