I stopped by the Lodge because I was famished after a hike and my bag of trail mix was not going to satisfy my hunger pains. My friend and I sat outside on the balcony because it was very stuffy inside. Being end of July, it was cooler up at the Lodge than down in the valley, but it was still very warm outside. Most of the diners were fighting for the shade of the umbrellas so it felt a bit cramped on the balcony. Service was quick and efficient but almost bordered on unfriendly. Food came out quickly and was to order. The bill came about 20 minutes later. I left ready to make my way back down the mountain. I think the Lodge is a good place to grab a bite and take in the scenery of the mountain before heading back to the hustle and bustle of the city.
