    The staff is amazing. Esp Evan and the waitress who looks like Hilary Swank. Tavern is too noisy. Drinks are small for the cost. Food is good but menu needs to have some specials and variety. Same menu day and night. Breakfast is pricey for what you get. Overall food but would like to see some specials and variations from one day to the next.

    We celebrated Father’s Day at Rush Creek Lodge’s restaurant on a Saturday night and the food was stellar. Delicious, fresh with healthy options! So glad we decided to come here for dinner.

    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.
