This was a beautiful restaurant especially the outside which has a view of the entire valley. Evenings in the wintertime was a comfortable amount of coolness once the sun went down.
Unfortunately the kitchen was not on today. We waited at least 45 minutes until we got our appetizer. When it did arrive it was a delicious app! There was shredded TEX Mex seasoned chicken on top of a fluffy doughnut on top of cream cheese. We split this three ways and it was plenty.
For dinner I got the ribeye medium rare. They charge steakhouse prices but did not deliver. It was 44 dollars for the a la cart ribeye which was a 16 ounce and boneless. The size was nice but my steak was medium+ instead of medium rare. It was also not a dry aged steak and the water was unsure if it was prime meat. The flavor was that of a typical choice steak which was overcooked. It was disappointing especially for the price.
For desert I had the creme Brule. It took about 50 minutes for our desert to get delivered after we ordered it. The topping was a nice caramelized sugar crust as you would find with typical creme brule. However the custard was sour and not the typical creamy vanilla.
Following the meal the waiter apologized for the delays and comped our appetizers and desserts. That was kind of him and helped to save the meal. Overall three stars for the wonderful view and kind waiter. The kitchen needs a lot of help.
