| - After a beautiful hike up Cathedral Rock, I was starving!! We fought for a parking spot, walked up, and got in line to get a table. Gave my name to the server and we were told it would be about 45 minutes. So we grabbed drinks from the bar and headed outside. 30 minutes went by. 45 minutes went by. Finally got to an hour and we decided to check out what was going on. Back to the hostess stand, where someone new was standing. I tried to be polite about asking when we would be seated (and either I was successful or I was rude... who knows) and we were instantly seated. I was pretty annoyed, to be honest, because when we did go up to the stand, we saw several open tables and then they had crossed off names below ours on their list and it seemed that we were completely overlooked. Gee, thanks.
So anyway. We were seated outside on the patio, which had a beautiful view. Our server came by quickly to get our drink order then a few minutes later came back with said drinks and took our food order. Then came more waiting! Hooray! 30 minutes. 45 minutes. Almost got to that wonderful 60 minute point without our food. I ordered a regular burger and my boyfriend ordered the elk burger. Both were served with fries (which the menu said they'd be "seasoned" fries, but they were not). My burger was "OK" at best. Boyfriend's burger was better. Fries were ok, but I was hoping for seasoned fries.
The restaurant itself is nice looking and has a beautiful view. It's loud inside, but there's a nice patio that's not as loud.
The service... not good. The food... over priced. It's convenient for post-hike food & beers but I think I'd rather make the drive back to Vegas to get food rather than return here to Mt Charleston Lodge Restaurant.
