We decided to get takeout on a wet rainy night and it was a great idea! Pro tip - if you don’t want to risk bad service or long waits, get take out and watch Korean variety shows in your room instead! In all seriousness though, the food we got was really really good. I got the chicken Alfredo which isn’t the most *traditional* of Alfredos I’ve had but it was really tasty with big chunks of chicken. My husband got the burger and commented on how big and juicy it was. Although we didn’t eat in the restaurant, I definitely would be willing to do so if we come back again. The interior was nice and modern-looking with a decent amount of seating (although I can see it getting busy in peak season).
If you’re not coming here for breakfast, you’re crazy. Starbucks has a line and there’s literally no one in here with us, I had the French toast and they blew my boots off, coffee is fresh and hot, paired well with Jameson. Ready to hit the slopes!!! Our server Karen was super attentive, I was very satisfied with my breakfast. Says they’re not open til 11 but we strolled in at about 8:30 am.
We only had breakfast here, but thought it was a good deal. Anywhere else this would be a 3 star breakfast. At the resort I bumped it up to 4. The breakfast is reasonably priced and fairly good. If you were staying on or near the mountain and had a kitchen you could probably make an equivalent breakfast for less but you’d need to have brought your supplies with you and after the prep and cleanup I think most people would be worse off. I was happy to get a decent breakfast and get out on the slopes. The staff here were always exceptionally nice.
