We don't normally expect to find a great restaurant at a remote ski area. Swen's is something special. The view is a given, but what surprised us was first-rate service and spectacular food. The sweet potato soup was one of the best soups I've ever had. I had the NY strip and my wife had the halibut. Her halibut was the best I've ever tasted. Truly a memorable experience!

The service was excellent for our group of 6. As a group we found the food quality to be inconsistent. The Pork and Chicken were very good though the Salmon was dried out and not as tasty as it should be. The calamari was very good though the beet salad was only OK. The ambiance inside the actual restaurant was a tad cold, especially when you consider the outside was pitch black. If you are going to have $70+ main course items on your menu, I think food quality should be uniform and more warm. Good job on the serve ce.
