Full honest review here. I don't remember the waitress' name, but to whoever was literally the only server today, May 9th, you were amazing. She was so sweet, helpful, so upbeat, running around the restaurant and being very nice and personable, even to people who were complaining about the wait time that is literally out of her control. And you read that right, the ONLY server. That's one thing to expect about coming here it seems, since that's a trend in all the other reviews, plus I have family that live here that say the same thing, if you come here, expect to be here for like two hours minimum. Cuz if the kitchen is staffed as well as the serving staff, then there's probably only one guy back there making the food. I think we waited about an hour for the food to come out. Mind you, the four of us all got the same thing, the burger, no special requests. I noticed everyone else's took about the same time. One table next to us actually had one entree come out, then another like twenty minutes later, then another like 20 minutes after that, so that table wasn't even served all at once. The food: great, everything tasted super fresh, I heard they actually source their stuff as organically and local as possible, I could be wrong, but at the very least it tasted like it. Nothing tasted heavy or bad. Is it overpriced? A little, but it was good quality in my opinion so I have no complaints about that. (There are no prices on the menu btw, so it's a guessing game until the check comes out). The ambience is great, super cute, nice enough to dress up for, but for those of us that flew 3 hours and drove another 2 hours to the hotel and didn't feel like changing, it's also good for casual. Loved the look of the place. So my cons: - As noted, the insane wait times, I don't recommend if you're dying of hunger. - Dessert is not worth it in my opinion, we had the chai tiramisu and the chocolate cake. The chocolate cake tasted like it was just some frozen cake you'd pick up at a store, nothing special. The chai tiramisu was interesting, but not worth $13 for a tiny cup worth of it, I wouldn't get either of them again. And last note to anyone still reading this, be nice to your servers. They're doing their best with what they can control. They can't control how quick the bartender brings your bottle or drink to the table. They can't control how quick the food comes from the kitchen. And I'm sure if every night is like tonight where they only have one server, that server is already losing their mind trying to keep up with all the tables. If anything, this speaks more to the management and their incapability of staffing accordingly to the restaurant's needs. That needs work. I'm looking at you, unknown Harvest Tavern manager people So overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but I also wouldn't avoid it. I'd go back knowing the expectations from my experience. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. read more

We had heard from our friends that the restaurant at the Mountain View Grand was great so we decided to splurge and plan for a dinner here. When we checked into the hotel, we overheard a couple complaining to the front desk that they hadn't been served and so this was a bit of a red flag but we decided to go forward anyways with dinner reservations. We made the reservation for 5pm since we figured that if we were the first ones at the restaurant then we would probably be served. The server was super friendly and we were in fact the first people at the restaurant. We got a nice table by the window, but a weird thing happened. The rest of the restaurant was completely empty since we were the first ones at the restaurant and the next two couples that arrived for dinner were seated directly next to us. There was an entire restaurant and we were all crowded together in one corner. We all laughed a bit when we realized this and acknowledged that it was a bit strange but wasn't affecting our meal. We got the house breads and the souffle shrimp cake for our appetizers. Our waitress tried to warn us that we shouldn't order the shrimp cake which was really strange- I obliviously didn't realize she was trying to steer me away until later until she had taken our order. More weirdness. When the dish came out it was actually very good so I'm not sure why this dish was discouraged. My entree of the scallops was delicious and my husband had the salmon which was also tasty. We also ordered a side of the zucchini cake but this never came- when we asked about it, the waitress let us know that the first order was burned so they had to remake it. By that point, we had been there for almost 2.5 hours so we were ready to leave and declined the remake. It was a strange dinner experience. The staff were definitely understaffed (the restaurant filled in as the night went on) and our early bird dinner time didn't help us avoid long wait times. It was a pretty pricey dinner and although the food was good, we'll skip the hotel restaurant in the future. read more

other then the spinach and artichoke dip this is the middest restaurant for an already mid hotel horrible breakfast i just go to dunkin

Staying at the resort and had lunch in the Tavern. The pizza selections were very interesting and well executed. The breakfast sandwich is a nice way to start the day. read more

he only thing good about this place is the view. No hostess to seat us. Only two waitresses on staff. Took forever. Ordered clam chowder that came out with a film on it because it was already getting cold, no crackers, no spoon. Ordered scallops that were not fully cooked, and a medium rare fillet that came out well done. We paid for my one drink (Would never ever received another because they were so slow) And walked out. We'll never step foot in this place again and I highly suggest you don't waste your time. No manager on site.. this was literally the worst restaurant experience I have ever had in my life and I love going out to eat. We normally go to the Omni when we are up here, but tried to give something else a try. Our mistake.. read more

So have a few things to say here. First and foremost, the servers (and hotel staff) are super friendly full stop. That being said, the service was quite slow, as it felt like the restaurant was just understaffed (and the servers are trying their best). Secondly, definitely agree with the general sentiment that the menu was quite overpriced but in my mind that's offset by the quite reasonable and affordable accommodations at the hotel. Would 1,000% recommend the advance purchase of all-inclusive dinner, as that makes the meal much more "worth it" (soup or salad, any entree, and dessert for ~$50pp). To take full advantage of that, we got the steak and scallops which were actually very well-cooked and quite delicious, but nearly ~$50 themselves so definitely a deal to buy ahead. With the deal plus the cozy vibes and ambiance of this restaurant, it was really quite a lovely (even though a bit long) dinner! read more

Second review in two days. Figured we would play it safe and order pizza. Not much better than the first night. Pre made pizza bread and probably canned toppings for 25.00 Not good but better than the horrible food the night before. Waitress was ok not great either. Feel bad for them. Old fashioned with makers mark was EXCELLANT from the bartender that looked like Adam driver. A quick word about the breakfast at the hotel. As you would expect, also not good. Hair in the hash so I stopped eating. This is NOT a grand hotel . If you stay there drive the 25 minutes to a better restaurant. Only saving grace was the view. read more

I really feel badly for the servers at this place because the back of house and management must be a disaster. We stayed at the Mountain View Grand last year and ate at this place and the service was so bad and things took so long and the food was poor so we said we wouldn't eat at the hotel again. Well we were back at the hotel this year and made the mistake of trying to eat here again (fool me twice, shame on me). This place is so mismanaged that they would be better off not bothering to serve food. It took more than an hour and a half for pizza and salad. The only reason for two stars instead of one is because the server was really nice the entire time and knew that it was absolutely ridiculous how long things were taking. We ordered at 7:10 and sat on the porch with a nice view. At 8:40 we still didn't have our food and the mosquitoes had come out forcing us inside. In the meantime my kids had to go to the store to buy trail mix and chips. There is no excuse for pizza and a salad to take over an hour and a half. This is our second straight bad experience here. They would be better off not even offering food and just serving some drinks on the porch. I hope they could handle that. read more

Seated at 6 promptly with a pleasant waiter named Duta. ordered an old fashioned with makers mark, pretty good. ceasar salad to start , waiter offered to split it onto two plates ( very nice). we ordered the chicken confit and the pork schnitzel (see pictures). chicken confit was bland and had odd black grid lines which can sometimes be there as a result of opening it up to drain off the fat or cool. The chicken itself was not bad although a bit overdone. the mixed vegetables were just heated mixed vegetables ( corn, sliced asparagus, stewed tomatoes and cannellini beans. also very bland. ( there seems to be a theme here about lack of seasoning). The order of schnitzel, was very overcooked and hard and had to be sent back. ( The waiter was very apologetic and polite ) in the picture you can almost see the bottom which was VERY dark brown. The second one was better but not by much and again very bland. Overall i am giving this 1 star only because Duta was actually a pretty good and attentive waiter and was tipped accordingly. I will not be eating here again and must now begin my search for other dining around here. read more

We were incredibly disappointed with their inability to accommodate food allergies. We spoke to the hotel team before booking to confirm they could offer gluten free food options for our 9 year old. When we arrived, we spoke to the restaurant manager to confirm GF options and made a reservation. When we returned for dinner, we were told there was no table available. When I reminded them that I had stopped by earlier and they told me they would have a table ready, they agreed to seat us but said it would take 40 minutes to get our meals. We could order apps. We placed our order. My daughter ordered the GF Mac and cheese that they had earlier offered us. After orders were placed, the manager returned to tell us that they were too busy for the chef to take cross contamination precautions - and they cannot make the GF mac and cheese. We ended up leaving with hungry kids and had to trouble shoot to find a safe dining option in town. Breakfast was included in our stay. We spoke to them in advance of breakfast and were again reassured they could make eggs and GF toast separately for our daughter to avoid risk of cross contamination from the buffet. When we arrived at breakfast, the server told us this was not an option. We had to escalate it - and the same manager from dinner returned with excuses. After a lot of stress, they made the eggs, home fries and gave toast. I wish they had just been honest that they are unable and unwilling to accommodate food allergies - rather than giving us false assurances and spoiling our stay with the stress of finding safe food for our daughter. There is a reason we call in advance and speak with management to prevent these issues. Their food and beverage manager was completely incompetent. read more
