Double Basil Hayden
Daniel C.

After driving 10+ hours, I was exhausted. It made sense to just eat in the resort. I could also get a couple drinks while waiting for our food so it was decided. When I walked in, I sat at the bar. The bartender took her time to help me but when she did, I was able to order a double Basil Hayden neat. I messaged Mink what's on their menu and waited for her reply on what to order. While waiting, she was talking up a storm with the couple sitting next to me. I had to flag her down each time I had a question or wanted to order something. She didn't check on me and even forgot to check on my question on if they offered hot cocoa. I had to remind her which was annoying because the place was not busy. Fortunately her coworker went out of her way to make it for Mink. 5 stars to her coworker and a star bump up for the overall experience. Mink and I decided to share a burger since we were still pretty full from lunch. We ordered their D.W.L. signature Burger medium well with everything on the side and fries extra crispy. The kitchen got the order out in no time and as ordered which impressed us. We thought the burger was ok but it wasn't blow your mind amazing. The fries were quite crispy and we were content with the meal. What I thought was odd was that the bartender gave me my bill when my food came out without asking me if I wanted the check. I also didn't ask for it but since she gave it to me, I decided to go back to the room. Guess I wasn't welcome there. Overall, 2.5 stars. Convenient but meh.

Saw a lot of negative review of this place which was a little concerning at first. Since there weren't many restaurants in the area so we tried it out and we were thoroughly impressed. They have a nice indoor space that has waiter service and then you could also do a to go order and eat by the pool. We opted for the latter. For lunch I ordered the burger. It was good and came with fries that were crispy and tasted good. We liked this place enough to come back for dinner. I ordered the wedge salad, pork belly sliders, chicken sandwich and Nutella creme brûlée. All were delicious. The creme brûlée was the best! Also all the waiters & bar tenders were so nice!

We arrived here after a long day of driving and exploring. It was dark outside and we were frankly very excited to find a restuarant open in the resort. We ordered 2 fried chicken sandwiches with fries and a couple sodas. The service was very fast and friendly, the food was good and arrived quickly, and although it was way too cold to sit outside, it was one of the few restuarants in Arizona that actually allowed social distancing.

2 stars is about right. The food is very mediocre and add in the slow service you get 2 stars instead of 3. People mostly come here for the view and you definitely get a great view of Lake Powell. Fish and chips was very mediocre. It had that fresh out of the previously frozen box flavor. French fries were okay. Caesar salad was okay. Fairly straight forward and cooked well. Service was very slow. Waiter dropped off the dinner menu from the restaurant next door. We waited a bit for him to return and take our orders then he disappeared after dropping off the right menu. Didn't see him again for awhile, meanwhile we went without drinks for a good to 10-15 mins. Food arrived warm but he never came back to refill waters or ask if we needed anything else like another beer. I had to flag him down so we could pay our check and leave. Disappointing experience.

Even with the remodeling of the hotel, the lounge is open during the Winter season with limited dining hours. The lounge was small yet pretty, was placed in the corner with a beautiful view of the outside firepit and super trendy, cool, retractable covering for those desert hot temperatures in the Summer to keep cool. The service was nice, ordered the hot wings which came with celery and carrots, not pricey.

Service was terrible. Food was over priced. Food lacked taste. How can you screw up a hamburger? To find out visit

Rainbow Room is located inside the Lake Powell Resort. It's right by the water. Parking is plentiful. We were greeted and seated right away by the window, which was perfect. We had a great view of the lake and red rock formations, but it seems like there's no bad view from any seat in the restaurant. Our server was friendly and quick to respond. We ordered the following items: Espresso martini $15 Lobster and Shrimp Ceviche $25 Shrimp Risotto $30 Porcini Mushroom Fettuccine $18 + chicken $7 10 oz NY Strip $45 Chocolate lava cheesecake Honestly, the food and drinks were 3/5. Nothing tasted bad, but nothing tasted amazing either. It was also a bit overpriced. However, the portions were generous which my teenager loved. We were able to watch the sunset and catch the start of the fireworks while at dinner. Highly recommend making a reservation around sunset if you're in the area!

This place only gets 3 stars because of the view. We did the buffet brunch.

I ate several dinners and a breakfast when I stayed and loved everything I had. I tried the River Raft'n Tacos with grilled fish one night - it comes with 3 tacos full of supple chunks of perfectly grilled fish and chips and salsa on the side. The tacos were just a tad bland but still delicious and the side of salsa added the extra flavor I needed. My other dinner was one of their specials - the Southwest burger with a side of onion rings and veggie soup. This was fantastic!! The burger was flawless and tasty (not too spicy) and the onion rings were positively massive and delicious as well. The veggie soup was a bit spicy but still flavorful and hit the spot. For my breakfast I had the Horseshoe Breakfast which comes with two eggs, toast, home fries or fruit, and I chose ham for my meat. It was a great start to the day and their in-house coffee is really nice. Their unique dessert offering - the Avocado Pie - is a must when you visit!! It's light, creamy, and not overly sweet with a hint of citrus. It's like a mild key lime pie sort of and I loved it - would definitely get again. They have some traditional indoor seating as well as a patio that has garage style doors that they can open for an al fresco dining option. Decor gives off 70s diner vibes and they have really cool Grand Canyon/Colorado River paintings on the walls. All the staff were attentive and helpful - even with our large rowdy group the night before our rafting trip!

We went on a Friday at lunch in March. We had also been there a few weeks before…read more I don't usually leave 5 start reviews, but this restaurant deserves a needle-moving review and I can't think of one thing we didn't like. We shared calamari and we are calamari snobs. I wasn't expecting anything great but it really, really was. The crunchy (fresh?) batter was cooked perfectly crispy and the squid meat was not tough. They served it on top of sliced pepperocini, which we kept using throughout the meal. The sauce was delicious too. Now any chef/cook can have an off day, but if the oil is the right temp and they stick to a prescribed fry time, you should experience the same great result. My husband had the Reuben, and he is a Reuben snob. The thickly julienned corned beef made for a little bit of messy eating, but he said it was good. His sweet potato waffle fries were crisp and not too sweet. They stayed crisp throughout the meal. I believe these were frozen but they chose a great product to offer for one of their sides. No shame in a good, coated, crisp, frozen sweet potato waffle fry. I had the desert dipper (French dip to many of us.) It was topped with sauteed mushrooms and onions and the aus jus was really delicious. Not too salty and with a rich flavor without being oily. Again, a product which I would be shocked it if wasn't purchased, but they made a great choice! It doesn't rely on salt, which many chefs turn to to cover less-than-stellar food. My side was a side salad. Mixed mesclun lettuces (with the occasional wilted, icky looking leafs) that made either this batch of lettuce one day past it's prime or needed to be gone through a little closer. The salad was topped with a generous portion of very fresh cucumbers, carrot shreds, cherry tomatoes, cheese and croutons. I was pleased with the overall quality and presentation of that simple side salad. In our previous trip my husband had the quite-curated turkey sandwich and he said it was very good. I just had the truffle Parmesan fries which, like the waffle fries, were crispy and very good

A floating restaurant on the second largest man-made lake in America???…read more Yes, please. Incredible ambience, starting with parking up top and being driven down in one of the many motorized carts they have running 24/7. The views are breathtaking!!! But the important part that we need to get to-food and service. We went twice. Each time, great servers! Ruby and Autumn were attentive without being overbearing. Our food came out quickly. Night one, we had the flank steak with some fancy espresso cheese and hot honey, gyros, and the sliders. Second visit for lunch, we had the fish tacos, a Caesar salad with steak, and (my favorite!!!) the blackberry steak salad with goat cheese and all kinds of deliciousness. There were things that I would probably take a star off for--but not from the restaurant. The restrooms are outside the restaurant, and for a place that's pretty dang high end, one would expect that they would have been cleaned at least once during the day and toilet paper refilled instead of sitting in the stall on the floor (first visit) or stuffed in with the toilet seat covers (second visit). I did ask about it, and apparently there is a cleaning crew that takes care of that and they aren't affiliated with the restaurant at all--so definitely not going to hold it against the restaurant! Go. Get some of Jaden's specialty cocktails and that blackberry steak salad. Then take a boat tour of the lake and enjoy some incredible views. You won't regret it!!!
