“Fast and tasty place to grab a quick meal for lunch or dinner. Even though we came close the closing the staff was so friendly and let us take our time. Chicken Quesadillas were hot and excellent. Grilled cheese on wheat bread was O.K. Ambience isn’t cozy but there were some fun coffee-table books to look over. Plus the soda machine is one of those modern ones where it has a touch-screen. Neat!“
“Awesome all around experience! Have been living in the valley for the winter season, and when I had non-skier friends book a visit, I starting asking around for the best way to experience the stunning beauty of the mountains in winter. SO MANY people told me to try the hike up to Pine Creek for lunch; and I'm glad they did!We opted to do the walk-in option, which was great for our group. Skiing and snowshoe seem like they'd be fun as well, but probably not any faster with the time to get fitted, and walk a longer trail. It was super easy to check in at the Alpine welcome center - we got a TON of emails about being on time with a good 45 min before the reservation... but the checkin process for walking was pretty informal- about 2 min and we were on our way.As for the walk: It had snowed a few inches overnight/that morning, but the 'road' that you walk down was basically like walking up a groomed ski run. Its the same path that the horse sled rides on, if you're looking at pics for reference. The walk was BEAUTIFUL - mostly uphill on the way out which took us about 30 min, and downhill on the way back which was a breeze. I wore my cozy grippy winter boots + a ski jacket and ended up with half my layers in a backpack... but also had a friend in sneakers and another in a pair of chukka boots and peacoat. I appreciated the boots, but everyone got by on the 'hike' with no problem.As for the dining experience - we were seated right away and did the two course lunch for $55 pp. Salad or Soup + Entree... yea its a little pricey all in, but not worse than avg in the area especially considering the added cost to get food and staff out there... also the prices are pretty clearly posted when booking the experience so not sure what everyone here is complaining about? Chicken sandwich was really good, and a decent portion- we were too full to order dessert. Also they were AMAZING at accommodating for my friend with a severe dairy allergy. He even commented that it was some of the best allergy aware service he's seen ... ever. It didn't feel like we had a time limit for lunch, which may not be the case with dinner- but we didn't feel like we needed more than an hour or so at the restaurant. Great atmosphere, accommodating staff, amazing views and an overall unique experience in the mtns!My only complaints were 1) it was SO HOT in the restaurant. I actually ended up stripping down to a sports bra (so yes, lunch is quite a few people in casual athletic attire from activities). And 2) IDK what was in the delicious espresso martini I had, but holy cow did they put some stress on my intestinal system. I RAN FOR MY LIFE the last quarter of a mile to the bathrooms at the welcome center, so keep that in mind and learn from my mistake!Dietary restrictions: Awesome options up front when booking to share dietary restrictions. They were also ON IT in the restaurant to check and confirm what could and could not be modified for the member of our party with a severe dairy allergy.“
“Good food, great Vibes even better service. Whats troublesome is I have to type a certain amount of characters for some reason to get this review to stick on Open Table and its annoying as hell! Go to Clarks to eat and then use Resy to make a reservation.“
