- DDianaPortland / Oregon •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoIn the busiest day of the year, we decided to endure the crowds at the park and made reservations weeks before arriving. Not knowing what to expect at all, we were pleasantly surprised by a quiet and serene restaurant with beautiful views of the trees. The small windows that accompanied the viewing ones allowed fresh cool breezes to enter. Service was spot on and pleasant. We shared the pulled pork sandwich and summer berry salad. Spending the majority of my life in the south, I hold high standards for such a meal; zero disappointment. It was perfect and I would not change a thing. Tye toasted brioche bun added just the flavor and crunch to turn this sandwich from good to perfection. Now that salad, we couldn’t finish it, yes that big and must have had about $8 worth of the sweetest berries on it. Paired with the feta, candied nuts and balsamic, I could eat that every day. Granted our hopes weren’t very high upon booking, due to being a remote tourist situation, but they knocked it out of the park and were equally surprised at the bill. Expecting it to be “tourist” rates, it wasn’t! Same as we would pay at any spot at home.More infoThe Peaks at Wuksachi LodgePrice: Moderate• American• Red Fair•4.5

- CCaseyLos Angeles •4 reviews4.0Dined on Jun 28, 2025They had run out of prime rib and didnt tell us when we confirmed our reservation or mention that it could run out if that's what we planned to order. They didnt tell us until after we ordered and by then it was too late to go somewhere else that had what we wanted. We dissappointedly ordered the rib eye instead and it was very fatty and burnt too crispy. They also were out of the appetizer we wanted, the ahi tuna. It was a Friday night in summer with a convention in town, I feel like the restaurant should have planned better to not run out of several items. Service was fantastic and cocktails were decent. Food was not great though.More infoTahoe Joe's Famous Steakhouse - VisaliaPrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• Visalia•4
- LLouAnnSan Francisco Bay Area •8 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 21, 2025I wanted a steak and Double LL popped up in my search, so we decided to try it. The outside looked a little iffy, torn awnings, deserted area. Entering the bar looked iffy because there was hardly anyone there. But then the hostess greeted us, confirmed our reservation, and led us to the back where there were 2 elegant dining rooms. I was relieved! The decorations were Wild Old West, lots of fun. There were some families and some couples. It was so quiet and lovely, no blasting TV or people talking loudly. We ordered drinks and the mussels (divine, the best we ever had, loads of butter, garlic, shallots and herbs, I wanted to drink the broth!) and fried calamari for appetizers. Then we ordered a house salad to split and a T-Bone steak to split. Our server, Debbie, was so professional. She asked if we wanted the appetizers before we ordered dinner, and we said yes, because we weren't sure of the portions or how full we would get. Her service was so professional and well-paced. There was unlimited garlic bread. The house salad ($3.95) was HUGE, plenty for 2 to share. Same for the T-Bone (16oz), cooked to perfection. We couldn't possibly fit in a dessert. Debbie took some photos of us.More infoDouble LL Steak House & SaloonPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Visalia•4.2
