| - Scenic eating at its best! A great getaway from the city life for a few hours, I'm a fan of making the trip up the mountain for some awesome photo ops and drinks. Keep in mind though, they do have a captive audience so I'm not exactly blown away by the customer service or prices.
Great, rustic setting complete with a fireplace in the center makes for a cozy lunch. I do have a thing for their soups, always hearty and since I've only been up here in the "cold" weather (50 is now cold for me, I've turned into a grandma) they're a great match. Burgers, sandwiches, pretty much the norm all at a bit higher price. Look at it as a scenery surcharge, if you will. Take a seat at the bar for a little less of a wait. You can eat and drink right there all while keeping track of the game with their TV's. They have a nice selection of beer and of course some winter-esque cocktails including cider concoctions and grown up hot chocolates.
Side note, you better be eating or drinking there if you want to use that restroom. They've got hawk eyes watching that patrons-only urination station. Hell, we got a drink one time simply because I feared being sacrificed off the mountain trying to use the bathroom as a non-patron. The manager was super nice to customers but then barked orders at employees which made me a little sad. I mean, we have ears sir, we can hear you too. If it's a method to get the bartender better tips, it worked. I felt bad for dude.
Overall a nice trip away from the exhaust and lights. I'd love to stay here sometime to get the full experience. Don't forget your camera!!
