About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
Sun Valley’s original restaurant, The Ram has been warming and welcoming diners since 1937. This rustic-yet-elegant dinner house has been recently modernized, while still preserving its historic charm. Pianist Larry Harshbarger brings a classic ambiance to the room with gentle melodies played on our resident baby grand piano. Travel back in time with the nightly “Heritage Menu”—a series of historic dishes such as pork tenderloin schnitzel, Hungarian goulash, and the famous Ram fondue—resurrected from the restaurant’s long and storied culinary tradition.

A credit card is required to hold your reservation. Should your plans change, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance. Last minute cancellations and no shows may be charged $25 per person.

Holiday reservations are not available online, but can be made by calling our guest center at 208.622.2800.

    The Ram is part of the heartbeat of old Sun Valley. It's both a treasure given it's history but also a treat because of the quality of service and cuisine. We never miss a chance to dine there. It is a perennial favorite!

    We loved the Ram! Our server was so kind and helpful, as were the bartenders in the adjoining bar. Food was perfect too, fondue was a highlight!

    We dined here for my daughter’s 22nd birthday. There was a large party next to us that sucked the life out of our experience. At one point their server got on all fours next to our table to look for something under their table. She couldn’t care less that her actions completely disrupted our dining. They didn’t even wish my daughter a Happy Birthday! The food was overpriced and lackluster. Wouldn’t ever come back!
