    Food was superb! Our waitress, Olga, was very attentive and her assistant, Kemal, was more than attentive to us. And, of course, the view is fantastic!

    We spent a perfect Fourth of July afternoon at the Roundhouse. The views are simply unbeatable—Sun Valley at its most stunning. We loved the lobster rolls (fresh, flavorful, and generously filled) and the truffle fries, which were crisp and indulgent. The Mountain Mule with 44 North vodka hit all the right notes—cool, refreshing, and perfectly mixed. A special thanks to Randy, our server, who has taken care of us on past visits as well. He’s an institution here—warm, welcoming, and always on point. Great food, great setting, and great service. Already looking forward to our next visit!

    Took 30 minutes before food order was taken and another 30 minutes for food to be placed. Live the place, but think waiters need to be able to take orders in a more timely fashion. Servers/waiters could not be nicer, tho!

    Excellent food, wonderful historic ambiance, and great service from our waiter Alex! The Wagyu burger is fantastic, as is the fondue. We’ve been there many times and it never disappoints!
