We sat out on the sunny patio overlooking the mountain. They were a bit understaffed, but service was super friendly and helpful. We had a couple Bloody Mary's which were made with love, I had a chopped salad w/ a perfectly cooked chicken breast, which was delicious, and my friend had the Thai chicken sandwich which she said was wonderful, with fries, which were really exceptional - super crispy. Came back the next day for nachos and cocktails, which were also great. If you are able to come, highly recommend.

We got lucky and managed to grab some seats around the fire pit both days we were there. Something about this communal pit puts folks in a good mood --- the first day the woman next to me whipped out marshmellows and sticks from her some ice cooler and shared them all around the fire. It was great! A lot of laughter and stories about the slopes ensued and we weren't simply strangers around the same fire anymore. The second day we purchased a smores kit from the bar and roasted marshmellows with the kids again. This seemed to unleash the kid in others near us. Two pairs of folks who didn't know each other, struck up a deal and pooled their money to get their own kit which they shared. The bartenders are fun --- have them make you thier specialty drink a "Dirty Snowman," (hot chocolate, vanilla flavored vodka and Bailey's). These folks also make an awesome hot apple pie (the drink, not the pastry). My kids give the hot apple cider here two thumbs up. If you have proficient ice skating kids with you, unleash them on the rink on their own. They can burn excess steam within your full view. It's a beautiful thing to be able to drive home in peace with an exhausted skier/skater snoozing in the back!

We were quickly seated and our server checked up on us frequently. We were impressed by the decor of wine, leather seats, wooden branches, and relaxing music. We ordered the Meatballs, Chicken Pot Pie, and French Onion & Gnocchi soup. The pie's unique presentation was welcoming. The bread was crispy and the chicken mixed with vegetables had the right ratio. The soup went down warm and satisfied my chills. The onion wasn't overpowering the gnocchi. And of course, we had a paired wine that was suggested. We'll be back to try the other fusion dishes.

I'll pause and acknowledge that chicken pot pie isn't typically something one orders out. But having said that, chicken pot pie isn't something I'd expect any restaurant to mess up!

To be fair, they had a good crab cake.

Yikes! We probably should have walked out when we walked in and saw that the entire restaurant was…read moreempty, save for 2 guys sitting at the bar. We were literally the only guests in there and it soon became obvious why...our server was slightly unintelligible. Like slurring her words and she didn't even know what was in their Caesar salad. I had to read off the menu description from my phone and she still seemed confused which was weird. She was nice but seemed like she was either drunk or high. The Caesar salad wound up being mediocre & didn't have Parmesan cheese. The owner responded to my review, saying that it was a vegan salad, but our server didn't know what was in the salad when I asked! And where do you see vegan anything at a steakhouse?! Cue the eye roll. Underwhelming. My child liked her plate of shrimp and fries so that was a plus. But you better believe my husband made sure to try one of her shrimp before allowing her to eat anything because this place was giving sketchy vibes. Glassware was dirty so I skipped drinking water and ordered a Peroni only to find that the bottle was covered in some kind of orange residue. Like someone got sauce all over it which honestly was kinda gross. Had to use my napkin to hold it. So I didn't want to drink out of the glass because it was dirty and then when I went to drink out of the bottle, it was dirty as well. Just ewww... The steak ordered was unimpressive for this being a steakhouse. The creamed spinach wasn't hot...All in all, I'd skip this joint. The prices don't match the service or quality of food. And dingy glassware when the restaurant was completely empty is unnecessary. As was the server who might wanna save the "extra curricular" activities for when she's not on the clock. UPDATE: just saw that someone else left a review from the SAME evening that I was there, and that reviewer also noted that the server was intoxicated!! So it wasn't just us who noticed our server was not OK. Unreal. The owner dismissed this serious complaint.

The fondue was a mix of various cheeses served in a traditional pot, with apples, wild board sausage, brussels sprouts, and focaccia. This hit the spot after a chilly day of skiing. Service was as you would expect for the Ritz - super polite and professional. If you're staying here or just want to duck in for a fancier break, the Living Room is worth a try.
