Found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. We had a reservation and were seated after a…read moreshort wait. The menu is fairly limited but fresh. One thing I didn't like was if you wanted the fried chicken it was only available for two people or you can order the whole bird with no sides for less. The waitress explained they could control inventory better this way. A little strange but ok. We ordered a loaf of the sourdough bread with the idea to take some home for breakfast. We then ordered the pork blade steak and the pasta special which was an eggplant ravioli. Also the Blackberry salad. Everything we got was delicious. For drinks we ordered the blackberry Earl Grey tea with lemon. It may have been the best flavored tea ever for me. Don't over dress it's not fancy but a solid choice for dinner. I would advise a reservation.

He said no,…read morewhich I was fine and I said I still like a table for 6, my wife would be outside with the dog. He begrudgingly sat us and tossed our silverware on the table. That wasn't cool, he seemed super grumpy. I notice things and people notice things in general. If you don't want to be friendly, then maybe a host isn't the job for you. The eating area was nice. It had enough space where you didn't feel like you are on top of each other. The server we had was actually super nice, I did not catch her name but was great. Attentive and friendly to us all. The food we ordered was the tri tip, peach salad with shrimp, mini cheeseburgers, soup, and chicken wings. The tri tip was smokey and tender but you barely got any. The taters I ordered were over fried in old oil, it didn't taste right. The peachy salad with the $7 add on for shrimp was a rip off, there were 5 total shrimp! $25 for this salad. Maybe 1/2 a peach. Wife described the shrimp as overcooked and rubbery. Shrimp should be slightly orange just past translucent and juicy. See photo. The mini cheeseburgers were mini but the kids liked them. Daughter liked the potato soup, and an order of chicken fingers had all fries the size of about a 1/2 in. It was weird, not sure if it was intentional as it was a kids meal. The other kids meal had normal sized fries. Overall it was disappointing. Also, I don't like restaurants who calculate the tip for the after tax amount...tip should be on the cost of the actual food, not also the tax. Come on people. Not worth it, I wouldn't stop here again.

The Sawtooth Hotel Restaurant is one of the most unassuming restaurants where I experienced one of…read morethe most exceptional meals I've had the chance to enjoy in all of 2024. When you first walkup to the hotel, you are met with a very rustic, cabin-esque hotel building where you wouldn't expect to find such a fine dining experience. We were sat outside which presented the opportunity to enjoy a breathtaking view of the Sawtooth Mountain range. We ordered several dishes for our meal and every dish was just as amazing as the other! Bigwood Baguette: This was a great start to the meal! The baguette was baked to perfection and had the perfect amount of crunch to it. It comes topped with an herb oil and sea salt which added the most flavorful touch. Soup of the Day: Their soup of the day was a White Bean stew topped with rosemary and hern olive oil. The stew was rich without being too heavy and the seasoning was perfect. Soy Glazed Brussels: The soy sweet chili glaze had such a nice balance of sweetness and the slightest hint of spice. The crispy rice noodles and crumbled peanuts added such a nice textural contrast to the Brussel sprouts, which in my opinion were cooked to perfection! They were seared well without being too burnt or crispy. Beets & Burrata: Hands down one of the highlights of the whole meal. This dish came with a handful of components, that when paired together into one bite on a crostini, resulted in the most delicious amuse-bouche. The burrata was so light and fresh and I never knew that it was the perfect pairing with beets on a crostini. A MUST have. Columbia River Grilled Steelhead: Absolutely stunning. The Steelhead was executed beautifully and the mushroom asparagus risotto was cooked to perfection. Honestly, compliments to the chef for what seemed to almost be an experimental pairing with adding the sweet pesto and blueberry gastrique. Never could have I imagined these flavors being paired together atop a piece of salmon and I will not ever soon forget how flawless this dish was. Pork Schnitzel: This was my husband's dish which I did not have a bite of, but from what I could tell, the Pork Schnitzel was very well done. It was thinned out and tenderized very well and the breading looked like it was golden-crisped wonderfully. I did get to try the mashed potatoes and can remark that they were some of the best I've had! I had some of the lemon caper beurre blanc that was drizzled atop the dish and I would do anything to be able to have a jar of that at home. I am going to talk about this meal for a long time. If you are ever passing through Stanley, Idaho, it would be a giant mistake to not visit the restaurant at the Sawtooth Hotel.

The fact is that 100% of your business is the general public bringing money to the area. I will return to the area, but definitely not dine or drink at the Beaver Lodge.

Don't even stop at there. Clearly not the best career choice for these people.
