Restaurants near Blue Canyon Guard Station

My party ran into traffic issues, but the assistant manager (Charlie) and manager were incredibly accommodating and allowed us to change the reservation several times. In the end, they weren’t able to make it, but we were still able to be seated as a smaller group. The food was prompt and delicious. The server in the water server were very helpful and kind. Eating at Hell’s Kitchen was on my son’s bucket list and it did not disappoint. He said the octopus was the best he’s ever had. He enjoyed every morsel of every dish while recounting the Gordon Ramsay episodes. Thanks for helping what was a hectic evening become a perfect evening. We had to rush out to meet the rest of our party so we didn’t get a chance to enjoy the dessert, that was our only regret. But we’ll be back !

Very busy place even though they had several empty tables, we waited until our reservation time to get in. Service was excellent and a wide variety of foods. Portions are a little small for the price. 

We made a reservation for New Years Day for 10 people, and we’re easily accommodated when we needed to adjust the time. All the staff we encountered were incredibly friendly, professional and helpful. Even though they were very busy due to the holiday, we were served in reasonable time and all of our needs were met. We had an excellent seat with a beautiful view of the lake at sunset. Excellent experience!

I love Friar Tucks. It's a great getaway for a nice night out and my friends love it as well. The food is consistently outstanding, the wait staff are competent and very welcoming! We enjoy the entertainment as well. It's a personal favorite!

Our meal for four at the Dining Room @ Village Lodge was very good. The setting is beautiful, the service friendly and professional, and the food was solid-some terrific, some disappointing. The dining room is quiet, relaxed, and friendly. Our pretty table looking out on the snow was pretty and comfortable. We ordered cocktails while looking over the menu, and it took a while to deliver from the bar. In the mean time, home made incredible Parker rolls and a tasty amuse bouche from the chef arrived. Salads were fresh and terrific - one baby lettuce, and one chicory. Our three appetizers - hamachi crudo, scallops, and octopus- were worthy, especially the crudo and octopus (tender, with charred edges). All fantastic so far. The entrees were slightly disappointing. Fresh California halibut was fine but so overcooked that it was dry and tough, too bad! The risotto was a bit bland and starchy, probably because the flavoring ingredient was pumpkin. Mushrooms, asparagus, or other veggie would have been less novel but tastier bases. We asked for parmesan, which our server brought quickly with no complaint. Last, we got the duck breast, which was advertised as "confit" but was more like a regular duck breast (I am used to duck confit as the leg slow-cooked and tender, so may not understand what "confit" means with breast). Anyway, the duck was solid. We did not try the Brick Chicken or fresh sugo pasta, but neighboring diners commented favorably about them. We skipped the $95 australian wagyu steak. On a menu where other entrees are $30-$50, a $95 steak stuck out. And from 10,000 miles away? A $60 California or Nebraska steak would have been snapped up. The high price and superrich flavor of wagyu didn't excite us. Overall a good meal. More simple California comfort dishes would be better for us. The wine list is an "A" by the way. Short and with many excellent whites and reds for normal restaurant prices (and a few over the top prices).
