The Dining Room at Sun Mountain Lodge

Very limited menu choices, daily special spinach salad was boring, bland, tiny for 10.00 and only a couple leaves of spinach and 1/2 hard boiled egg. Very disappointed. Ruben sandwich was also lack luster, bread not toasted properly or not at all, skimpy on kruat and cheese, so mostly bread and meat , dressing also minimal. I will not eat here again

Though all of the food I ordered tasted great the Pork Medallions I ordered were actually pork chops that were a bit overcooked.

Lovely atmosphere and tasty food. My glass of wine was supposed to be 6 ounces and it was mire like 4oz.

The SunMountain Lodge's dinig room offers beautiful views out over the Methow Valley. The food is every bit the equal of the view - superb! And very thoughtful wait staff.

Great staff, good menu with a variety of options, nice atmosphere. Recommend!

We had high hopes for our dining experience here, actually dining two nights in a row as we were staying at the lodge. However, both nights I was disappointed in the portions for the price as well as the service. Without the option to order a starter size salad, my husband ordered a Caesar salad to begin his meal prior to his crab gnocchi. His salad was very large. Mine, the crab Louie from the lunch menu, had virtually no lettuce & was missing half of what was supposed to be in it. The next night, wanting a large salad, I planned on ordering a Caesar and adding chicken to it. Well, take note, if you add anything to your salad, you will forfeit some of the lettuce in exchange, even though you are still paying for it! To top it off I ended up with fish on my salad instead of chicken! Our food was very flavorful, but I would have gladly sacrificed the artsy presentation on my plate for more of the delicious food, especially being in the lodge with no services around for later!

We ate breakfast twice there and they were excellent. Dinner was awful - too salt, burned bread for the Mediterranean melt sandwich with rubbery eggplants inside. Reuben sandwich was the worst I’ve ever had. Everything was less than satisfactory for a fine dining place.

My wife and I really enjoyed the dinner and atmosphere at the sun mountain restaurant. It was a bonus to have a wine representative at the dinner and also earlier in the afternoon at the wine tasting. We enjoyed meeting and talking with the restaurant’s food and beverage manager when she stopped by our table - A first class event!

The entire staff in the dining room were wonderful! We very much enjoyed our dinner there and will definitely be going back.

New Years breakfast

NY eve. Not near as good as I remember. Prefix menu with zero vegetables or fresh food. Too much money too much meat.

Not after our recent meal. Perhaps dining on the night before New Year's Eve is a poor choice, although it was just fine last year. Not good this year: The food - except for the apple pie - was really mediocre. And I do not often write reviews...

We attended the Methow Nordic Ski Camp and then stayed one extra night at Sun Mountain Lodge, so we thought we’d treat ourselves to an extra nice dinner to celebrate. We were not disappointed! Lovely atmosphere in a rustic mountain setting, wonderful service with knowledgeable servers and very kind staff from start to finish. Our dinners were excellent (we both ordered steak) from start to finish. A great way to end our stay in the Methow Valley!

The Sun Mountain salad was excellent. Don’t order the chicken and dumplings, it was waaay over seasoned and so salty I had to ask for a separate plate to put the chicken on so I could get the sauce off of it to eat something. The dumplings were too salty to eat. I really think they should have offered to bring me something else. All they said was that they would tell the chef. Wow...

The waitress continuously forgot to bring items (beverages, more hot water for tea) I’m guessing g she forgot to put our dinner order in because we were there an hour and a half before being served. Then she forgot to give us our leftovers

The view from the dining room is amazing and adds to the comfortable and relaxing ambience. Two diners, both had different steak dishes from the menu, both cooked perfectly to order. We finished with outstanding desserts, which are made on the premises. Definitely will dine here on our next trip to Winthrop.

Beautiful lodge and dining room. We were served by Kevin and he was excellent!!! Food was amazing and well portioned.

We love our autumn weekend trips to Winthrop and the Sun Mountain Lodge, and the Dining Room is always a great experience, both for brunch or dinner. Not only is the view stunning, but the food and service is great, too. For dinner, I would recommend booking a table an hour before sunset, if possible, so that you can see the changing sunlight on the mountains.

This is a gorgeous lodge, in a spectacular place. We ate at the bar and the main dining room, which
Both offered the same menu. Our servers were super nice but slow. Our meals were average and a bit cold.

Great food, view was incredible and service was fast and was not intrusive.

Beautiful anniversary dinner! The wine list was extensive, and the filet was melt in your mouth delicious. Outstanding service as well. Highly recommend!

Terrific food and setting for dinner after a full day of outdoor fun and to celebrate a wedding anniversary. The chicken curry soup really IS that good... the pineapple currant chutney in the ingredients make this outstanding. If you love mushrooms, the mushroom strudel is a must... paired with the "meatloaf" wellington and you have a savory gastronomic delight. The mash potatoes are buttery melt in your mouth with baby carrots as excellent accompaniments. The steak frites -- the New York strip is excellent, but less fries and add some veggies would be a great improvement. The Bordeaux demi glace on both steak and wellington is yummy. The individual apple pie is a perfect finish!
Our waiter, Anthony, was the best compliment to a memorable dining experience.

The Chefs have mastered sauces (Bernaise on filet), soups (deep subtle complex chowder), dressings (Caesar on salad), and properly cooking a thick steak med.rare. The service was casually indulgent.
The quality of the food was excellent and ripe.
And — the views are grand, but you’ve been looking at them all the time you are at the Lodge.

The only issue was undercooked little carrots — the main Chef had gone home and the understudy
should have checked instead of serving (raw and warm instead of slightly al dente).

SunMountain Lodge Dinning Room felt welcoming and our waitress was very nice. We had reservation and we got our table by the window so the view was amazing. There were few people in the restaurant that time so it didn't feel noisy. We got the curry soup to start with and it was surprisingly delicious. The mac and cheese pasta was also good and I enjoyed my sweet margarita drink but didn't like the sun mountain salad. My only and big disappointment was the day's special farm to table clam and shrimp bake which I ordered to have it packed to go so I could take it with me to the room. I should have opened the box in the restaurant but when I opened it in my room, all i could see was one shrimp, few clams and some nasty looking water on the bottom. I tried the shrimp and the smell was so bad that i threw it away, and this item was the most expensive item on our bill.

Love Sun Mountain. Have come many times for the view and incredible food. Started in the lounge with apps and outside view. This part was great! Moved into dining room for dinner and ordered the short rib skewers. These were nothing but chunks of fat. Really not edible. The cheddar grits and turnips and carrots were really good but the meat was really awful. So sad, we were really excited to come back and everything else was amazing. Maybe just a bad call on the short ribs

The Chef Tyler, is amazing in both his creativity & presentation of the menu choices! We loved our 4 course dinners- they were delicious! The service was impeccable & the view was incredible as well. We will definitely be back & highly recommend Dining at the Sun Mountain Lodge!

Had reservations at 8 pm Requested a window seat.
Didn’t get to table until 8:30
Too dark to see outside.

Can't beat the view here. The house salad is one of the best salads I have ever had, and most of my companions liked their entrees, but my pasta was far too salty. Service was a bit leisurely but attentive.

Beautiful view. Food not bad, but nothing special. Pricy. Service okay.

All in all it was very nice. The ambience was nice. the view of the Methow Valley was amazing. Our waiter, Anthony, was great. He was very friendly, but not obsequious. I asked him to recommend a wine for my meal, and it was an excellent choice. I ordered a steak. It was the $48 steak and I was really hoping for something great. I hesitate to criticize the chef. It was not a superb cut of meat. I have made better steaks from $12.95 per pound rib eyes at Safeway. The sauce was great. The mashed potatoes were great. The carotes were great. But including tip, for two, I spent $150. I wanted a better steak.
Did I say the flourless chocolate cake was great?

We enjoyed two breakfasts and two dinners in the dining room. All of our servers were very good, efficient and friendly. Food was good, no complaints.

First class food, service, and the best location in the North Cascades!

The service was very good and the food was excellent, especially the steelhead. It was moist, tender, and delicious. The poke was very fresh, tasty and well seasoned. We were caught in a torrential thunderstorm on our way from the lower parking lot so I was drenched from heavy rain. The dining area was air conditioned, of course so I was freezing during the meal. We had a terrific meal and look forward to a return trip. I would gladly recommend Sun Mountain Lodge to friends. Minus the rain of course.

The meat-eaters in our party were happy with their food, but for us vegetarians, it was *really* disappointing. We got the vegetarian shepherds pie and the veggie burger as well as salads. All tasted like someone who didn't like vegetarians made them. Even the veggies on the salad, at the height of summer growing season, were tasteless. But the view and ambiance made it worth the stop. We enjoyed drinks on the patio before dinner, which was lovely. The garlic fries were fantastic. The ambiance would get 5 stars, but during a hot summer evening, the dining room was so cold, we had to find warm jackets and keep them on throughout dinner.

We had one dinner in the Dining Room and multiple breakfasts. The breakfasts were all above expectations in service and food.
Our dinner experience was excellent. The dining room is situated at the top of the hill with fantastic views of the Methow Valley. The menu had a very nice variety of locally sourced items at moderate process ($$$). Our service in the dining room was also excellent (thank you Payton). Overall our experience and recommendation would be easily 5 stars.

Best view! The staff members were wonderful and took good care of us. There was an unfortunate situation where a very rude man chastised the waiter unnecessarily, but the staff handled it well and it did not distract from our experience.

We had a wonderful dinner with a spectacular view. Our waitstaff was fantastic, and we felt very well taken care of. And we so appreciated the nice touch of a Happy Anniversary note (in chocolate!) on our dessert! Very fine evening!

Wonderful food! The white King salmon was perfectly prepared and highly memorable! The Chef couple there is very friendly and highly skilled! The only thing that detracts from the dining room experience is that the wait staff generally isn’t polished. They may mostly be seasonal young workers? Very nice but not experienced.

The view from the dining room was wonderful. The food was such a disappointment. Two of my friends had to send their dish back because it was way way way too salty. My chicken was very dry and lacked any flavor at all. The best thing about the dinner was the bread and butter. This place was one of the worst places I have ever dined. Not worth the scenic drive. Sorry but way over priced for such poor quality.

They need to change their vibe. White table cloths etc. are outdated for the area and the lodge feel. Food was good but pricey.
