    It’s at the base of a ski run so that could be a good thing. The menu is very limited but everything sounded delicious. We ordered the chachuretie board. We were a bit confused as they offered a cheese board as well. When the board came it was all meat and no cheese. It was quite a disaster as all the meats were all the same. We both ordered the Wagu burger. It said it came with cheese. When presented it looked like it was Bachman sauce in lieu of cheese. The burger itself was not seasoned, extremely bland. The sauce on top left an after taste. Would we go back?? Only if we were really hungry and just finished skiing. SORRY, I really wanted to like this place.

    Everything was amazing. This was one of our best away-from-home dining experiences in recent memory. I’d go back tonight too if we weren’t leaving. Pork chop not to be missed. Dining companion reported same for duck breast.

    The salad was very good. The branzinno was over cooked and “fishy”, however the risotto, chard, mussels and scallops were very good ( that would be a perfect entree without the fish)! The lamb flavor was excellent, but it had a lot of gristle. The service and ambience were excellent!

    One of my favorite restaurants ever. Service was impeccable. Ambience lovely, comfortable and homey but upscale with views of snow. Lobster bisque is not to be missed. I also really enjoyed the wagyu ribeye. The sides were delicious. Will be back!

    Very pretty, comfortable dining experience. Waiter was unsophisticated and nondescript. Food was average and overpriced.

    Overpriced and bland food. The tagliatelle was incredibly boring. The lobster bisque contained no lobster. Could go on and on. Have a drink at the bar and enjoy the ambiance. Avoid the squarely mediocre restaurant.
