| - 'Think they have wi-fi here? Maybe we could post an update on facebook' I asked my 2 gal friends when, even before they could reply, a couple next table replied, 'We're checked in a cabin. No they don't have a wi-fi' -- 'Bummer, I figured'
But really, when you're up here, lodging by the balcony and surrounded by the breath-taking scenery, the last thing on your mind should be facebook. Take the time to hear the wind roar through the trees, let the smell of flowers fill your senses then listen closely to the birds chirp while live music plays from the inside because you won't see this much trees back in the city.
By the time we got here in the late afternoon, we were already out of breath from our 4 hour jog at Robbers Roost at Lee Canyon and needed a good dose of carbs to refuel. The lodge sat right along Kyle Canyon past the fire station and library, nestled among the greenery. The staff greeted us with a warm welcome to a suburban-esque restaurant made of wood - simple yet sophisticated, not to mention it had a very relaxing ambiance.
With that said, we decided to share an order of the grilled flatbread as well as the garlic roasted chicken pizzas among ourselves. Not taking the positive bias of being the hungry hannahs that we were, I have to say that the pizzas were pretty good, comparable or even better than Cici's pizza. Our mutual favorite was the garlic roasted chicken pizza which was very flavorful and filling. If only we had room to try out dessert, I would've opted for the deep fried cheesecake (it's described in the menu as: Freshly baked New York style cheesecake wrapped in ajumbo flourtortilla with a touch of cinnamon. Topped with chocolate synrp, raspberry) just so that I could say I've already tried this alongside deep-fried mochi but I guess that'll have to wait for next time because we were stuffed to the brim. The service was good, staff was friendly The place deserves a 5-star for its atmosphere alone (I must admit, I am quite the nature girl at heart). Watch out for the prices though. Before you decide to get an item each, think about sharing and splitting the check instead.
I could've stayed there the whole day and more.
