   This was the saddest Mothers Day brunch ever. The omelette was small and came with no side despite the $25 price tag. We were in and out in 20/30 minutes. They did nothing special for mothers. The food was not good. We won’t be going back.

   Way over-priced. I made a reservation for 6:30 but needed to change to 7. On OpenTable it showed 6:30 pm was it. We arrive on time to find the place was empty. The food was subpar (had the ahi appetizer [ok, but a bit fishier than traditional ahi tuna], the shishito peppers [could reduce the amount a light out pan fry or tempura…sauce is great], and the Caesar salad [best thing we had…loved the two anchovies on top]). Decided 8 oz $90 dollar filets (yes, per person) was a bit much…may have been willing to do a $45 4 oz filet. I know…the same, but not really…who eats 8 oz at one sitting??). For $90, maybe a waghu filet [not a waghu sirloin…ick. Or better yet, let’s have a Bison Filet option!!). The place was totally empty and very sad. Beautiful place but could have been so much better!

   All around great experience for breakfast and dinner, menu was creative and delicious. Flawlessly executed steak and interesting appetizers. Really a fine dining experience at Alta, wow.

   Hi Bridget – we’re so glad you had a wonderful dinner at Swen’s! We’d love to have you back again soon. And if you need a little extra convincing... the winter views from Swen’s are stunning, but the summer wildflowers definitely give them a run for their money!

   Nice surroundings and very comfortable dinning room and ambiance is great with real lodge style. Food is mixed. I have the pork chop which is delicious and my friend has Halibut and Salmon which is mediocre and not very well cook that seafood is supposed to be. Drinks is very nice though. It is pricey restaurant

    Great location and very cozy and nice ambience. The service was good and very solid bread/garlic confit included. Had the duck and was good but maybe not quite as great for the price being paid. Definitely spending a little extra for the ski resort location
