Communal dining is a quintessential human experience. With that understanding, we simply must serve great food. In-season, locally sourced with quality ingredients, and impeccably prepared – for lunch and dinner. We'll be a gathering place for the community and guests in a fresh and new space that honors the legacy of the Lodge, while tantalizing the palette with flavors that celebrate the bounty that the area has to offer – from lush produce to the freshest catch. We aim to offer fair and approachable pricing – inviting locals regularly and inspiring visitors to make the trip – and to serve meals with the warmth and care of being in someone's home.

    The new phone service is horrible!.. it took 2 and a half days to speak to a human after making a reservation online that said only 730 was available. Upon speaking to a helpful human i was told to pick a time that works, 615.. on other table haf folks..service was excellent!.. Food throughly mediocre at best. This is our 3rd visit with the new chef and it's a pass for a 4th...

    First time doing locals night prix fixe dinner. Was fun and met new people seated at our communal table. Was not expecting shared plates/bowl service at table. Might have felt more special if at least the salad course was served individually. Paella two-ways was probably easy to prepare for large group. When served communally, it’s difficult to be sure everyone gets even serving. Sommelier was very knowledgeable.

    Our server appeared quite distracted, and the timing of our food and drinks felt disjointed, especially considering the price point of the restaurant. He spent a noticeable amount of time by the kitchen and didn’t engage with us meaningfully, even though we mentioned we were celebrating a birthday. We rallied and made the most of it but the service was disappointing.

    It’s such a lovely environment to eat in. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful with wine choices. Loved the food beyond! Will always turn to the Lodge for an eating extravaganza.

    Food is so so and overpriced. It’s the only higher end restaurant for miles so if you’re staying at the Sea Ranch, you either dine here or cook for yourself.
