We love Crows Bench for lunch, apres and dinner! Kelly at the bar does a phenomenal job of mixing up the best cocktails (try her margarita!) and the food never disappoints. Make sure to see what they have on special, and enjoy your time! Make a reservation for dinner or stop by the bar for apres.Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome! We frequent with a larger group with 3+ kids and the servers are very accommodating and patient. Love!!

Less than stellar service and mediocre at best food. Sides are infinitesimal. Will NOT be going back. Cody, our waiter, was disinterested, never offered refills, dessert, or coffee. He truly acted like we were bothering him.

Great atmosphere food and decently priced for the location and meal.m for sure. I don’t recommend the cheese fondue although we did finish it all, I didn’t love it. I had the pork chop and the kids loved the Shirley temples.Highly recommended for a night out.

Looks nice and new. Food was hit or miss. The braised beef had no meat in it and the salmon was fairly plain and small for $36. The sliders off the kids menu were actually very good. Fried mushrooms also very good.

My favorite spot at Schweitzer. Kelly at the bar is always spot on with her service and drink recommendations. Pork Chop is d bomb!

A beautiful lodge ambiance. Resort prices for regular food. Average service requires catching a server when they are paying attention.

Excellent food with vegan, veg and meat options. We shared the barley & quinoa salad and the filet w/ mushrooms & potatoes. Everything was perfectly prepared. The staff was on point with their service. Loved our seating by the large fireplace. We had two cocktails, a glass of wine and an NA drink for a very reasonable price — $100 for two.Dietary restrictions: Range of options and they excluded what we didn’t care for or couldn’t have.

Looked forward to a nice meal. The restaurant is designed to look fancy and upscale but the food and service was terrible. Found it odd they only had 6 entrees to offer. Not more than 30 people in the restaurant yet it took over an hour for entrees to come. 30 minutes for a glass of wine and somehow managed to undercook french fries. Ordered braised beef which was unseasoned beef with some spicy sauce and some bland ancho chili. Some salt and pepper would have gone a long way as well with some green onion or sesame seeds. Also all meals I noticed came in quite small for the price, which added to the disappoint. Looked like our server was quite inexperienced which is a shock as they make this restaurant look quite professional. As a fellow restaurant worker I understand the struggle of it all but the fellow coworkers offered no support. Would not recommend. Go to powder hound pizza.

The Crow’s Bench is one of our favorite places to dine in the area. In addition to the cozy and elevated modern indoor and outdoor dining spaces, the food is always exceptional (both summer and winter) and the service is top notch (Kelly is A+). All of the appetizers - notably the mushrooms, fondue & pretzels - are incredibly memorable as are the entrees. Easy to pop in for a quick drink and appetizer or a longer meal.

We’ve become regulars over the past year and really enjoy the cozy atmosphere and modern design of the space mixed with wonderful service and great food that changes seasonally. You can’t go just once!

I've been in a handful of times, but this was the first meal Ive had. We had 10 people, and 4 of the 10 meals were severely undercooked. 2 of these were duck breast, which were literally cold to the touch and very raw. Im very familiar with medium rare duck, but instead of apologizing for the mistake, the chef treated us like we were just ignorant. I was told that "a lot of people just don't understand the texture of duck". Arrogant, rude, and partially competent staff provided an awful experience.
