Oozing charm in a beautiful setting, the Lake Creek Lodge does not disappoint! The menu choices were diverse and well prepared, the service was excellent and the restaurant owner came around several times to make sure we were having a good experience. The food is somewhat pricey so I would save this place for special occasions

We had a wonderful dinner at The Blacksmith. Derrick was very attentive, professional and pleasant. My steak was cooked to perfection. My husband's steak was cooked to perfection as well, although he thought the "surf" portion of his surf and turf meal was a bit heavy on the butter. He enjoyed the seafood, but felt the heavy butter detracted from the true flavors of it. Our wine was excellent and went very well with our steaks. We had a great table, nice and intimate for just the two of us. The host that seated us was very pleasant as was the gal that delivered our meals to us; both with great smiles and professionalism. Please pass on our thanks to Derrick for such a wonderful evening and to the chefs for preparing such awesome meals. We look forward to visiting The Blacksmith again in the future.
