Dinner four four on a Wednesday evening, we got in just around 5:00 and were able to get a table without a reservation. The restaurant quickly filled up afterwards. Starters were the lobster bisque and Santa Barbara salad along with bread and olives. It was prime rib night ($31) and it was enjoyed though the veg of the day was bland green beans. The house burger comes recommended and we also had the vegan chili (with rice). Good dessert menu as well. Best seating is further inside beyond the fireplace, seats up front during the winter are often very cold.Vegetarian options: The only obvious option was the vegan chili with rice. It is good and spicy but the inclusion of jack fruit was odd and questions were asked.Dietary restrictions: In emails with owners/staff they attested to most meat options like the steak, duck, and salmon being dairy free.

The best thing about this restaurant is that it's on doordash. However, I probably wouldn't visit in person. The food is good but doesn't stand out. The best things on the menu are cheesecake and lobster bisque.

My partner and I came here about a year ago and had a great experience, and this time was no different. Staff were friendly, service was prompt, and the food was great! My partner had the chicken marsala and I had lobster bisque soup. Both were excellent; so good that we didn't have leftovers! We will continue to keep coming back here. Our server was Daja and she did an amazing job! Thanks for another great dinner experience!

Our service was phenomenal , Keaylee (not sure of spelling), appetizers, lobster bisque and scallops were off the charts, the drinks were amazing (thank you bartender), and the entree surf and turf meals were to perfection. The owner is always super personable and always engaged and involved with his customers. 5 out of 5 is less than what this establishment deserves. A 10 would be underestimating the quality. We love going here because it is a place of true genuine customer service from the owner, to the server right to the chefs kiss! Sincerely- Heidi and Andrew! See you soon :)

We had an incredibly rushed experience at Antlers. We came in to have a leisurely meal with appetizers and a main courses. The server brought out our appetizers and five minutes later brought out the main courses. The server explained that the kitchen was moving really fast so the main courses came out faster than expected. So we had to completely rush through the appetizers, not enjoy them, and then try to eat main courses that were already getting cold. In the end we boxed up the main courses and left. We’re really disappointed with our experience. In the end we dropped over $300 to be rushed out in less than an hour. Extremely disappointed.

We were really excited to try here because are friends said it was so good, but our food really wasn’t great. None of the food seemed to be seasoned at all. The steak and the fish were very bland. They were perfectly cooked just no flavor. The green beans were cold and completely undercooked. I will say the cheesecake was fantastic though I also found this hard rock in my mashed potatoes and hurt to bite into. It could be an unground peppercorn, but there didn’t seem to have any pepper in the food otherwise so possibly a rock. It was okay food, but no where near worth the $100 we paid!Parking: The parking lot was in rough shape, and people parked in the middle completely blocking half of the spaces.

Overpriced for the level of execution in their dishes. Felt like ski lodge food.
