    Stopped in for dinner around 8 after checking in -- they close at 9. We had a lovely view of the lake from our table. The server was quick and friendly. We ordered the roast chicken and I think it was pot roast (forgot already). Food was tasty and hit the spot after a long day of travel from NYC to Seattle then driving hours before a roadblock delayed our arrival to the Lodge. It was fun to eat at a historic lodge associated with FDR.

    Lake view sunroom dining location. ordered house BBQ sandwiches with fried for $24. Certainly on the pricier side, but the food was tasty. Recommend to go early or make reservations as it can get filled quickly.

    This restaurant is located inside the Lake Quinault Lodge at Olympic National Park in Washington. It is the main and only dining option at this Lodge. They are open daily for breakfast and dinner. Reservations for dinner strongly recommended and can be made at the Front desk. Lunch is served as take out with small bites and pizza. Rustic decor throughout gives a nostalgic appearance. Enjoy the fantastic view of Lake Quinault and the sunset during dining . Better than average "park " food. Food is prepared with a conscious effort for a pleasing presentation too!

    Excellent service, excellent food and excellent views. What more can one ask for? It's situated within the lake quinalt lodge which is a beauty and close to 100 years old. We would return here if we were in the area.

    Dined here when we stayed at Lake Quinault Lodge and it was pretty decent. The best thing about this place is the ambiance, bar none. You are overlooking the lake and there's a old world feel to it. The food itself is decent/just ok. There's too much use of the same garnishes in every single dish and the two dishes I tried (mushroom polenta and linguine) were all pretty bland. There's also no AC. It may not be a problem depending on the season but when we went, it was up to 90 degrees so it was like a sauna in there.

    Biscuits and gravy -- delicious and uniquely plated.

    Our family took a day trip around Olympic National Park and intended on grabbing food somewhere along the way. Good thing we were hungry for some breakfast/brunch type food, because The Roosevelt Room at Lake Quinault Lodge wasn't too far away, and they did it right! It was an overcast and rainy day at the lake, which we got to enjoy from the warmth and dryness of the dining room. We were seated promptly, and our server got our drink orders swiftly. I ordered the biscuits and gravy -- wow! Many places boast their house made biscuits, but they can be hit or miss. The Roosevelt Room's biscuits were flaky, tender, and delicious. We got one to split four ways, and that's when I knew my entree would be the biscuits and gravy. What a presentation! The giant biscuit split in half, stacked high with a sausage patty, scrambled eggs, and microgreens, topped with a delicious sausage gravy. No cheap packet flour gravy here, this was the real deal. You could also tell it hadn't been sitting under a heat lamp while the rest of our table's orders were made, because the gravy was hot and flowing -- no film forming at all. Each bite was somehow better than the last, and it was a tremendous amount of food. I really liked the presentation too -- it was clearly a thoughtfully conceived dish, and not the normal grands biscuits with a packet of McCormick gravy you'd expect from many other hotel restaurants. The food combined with the awesome view and unique location are unbeatable, and now I want to stay a couple nights at the lodge for the full experience. I'd say it's a meal fit for a king, but since Franklin D. Roosevelt ate there during his visit in 1937, it's maybe even a meal fit for a president!

    It was one of those raining-all-day kind of afternoons when we popped into the Roosevelt Room. Food options in this area are very limited so it was really nice to be able to dine at such a beautiful restaurant in the Lodge. The view of Lake Quinault from most of their tables is unbeatable and the restaurant provides a cozy, historical feel to an otherwise damp day. I had the good luck of sitting in the exact spot President FDR sat when he visited Lake Quinault Lodge! All the staff whom we encountered here were helpful and friendly. We ordered quite a bit food, which is the typical American fare, and I'd say their chowder was my favorite- perfectly warm, rich and comforting for an early fall day. The lodge itself is so charming and it would be incredibly relaxing to stay here for a few days to just soak up the incredible views of the forests and lake.

    Bar menu with their tasty pizza.

    First, if you want to save, go to the bar area to the right of the Roosevelt Dining Room and order their tasty thin pizzas. If you dine at the Roosevelt, get the Rockfish Fish and Chips or the affordable basic salad and add grilled chicken or tasty smoked (wild) King salmon instead of overpaying for the item from the knowledgeable and friendly staff. Ssecond, the staff may suggest other places to dine at like awful Dinos in Amanda Park to the west but why should they suggest their competitors? Why aren't the menus for the Roosevelt Room and Bar in all the rooms? Don't you want to support your staff? Third, why is there a utility charge for the meals and I wasn't informed until I paid for it? Why isn't it at the bottom of the menu as required by law?

    A picture from when the Smoked Salmon BLT used to be good.

    I'm leaving two stars because of service. Our waitress should have five stars because she was amazing. We've been customers for over 13 years and we haven't been in for a couple due to the pandemic. We were excited to come in today and see the Smoked Salmon BLT on the menu still. It was always our favorite thing to order. When it arrived today it showed up on a weird looking bun and resembled NOTHING of what it used to be. Both in flavor and presentation. Our salmon was flaked onto the "bun" and looked like cat food. Literally no lettuce and only weird bits of tomatoes. Sadly the best part of it was the bacon and the aoli made us gag. Just super disappointing. Bloody Mary's are still great and we have no complaints there. But to wait until lunch opened for a cat food sandwich was highly disappointing. It seemed like the food truck didn't show this week or something. I didn't take a picture today but was able to find one from a bit ago, which I've included here. Please bring back the original Smoked Salmon BLT. Charging the same price for something not even close is deceiving and dishonest. Not all customers are one time visitors. But this will be our last until you fix this broken restaurant.

Area maps for the trails and indeed the entire peninsula seem to be plentiful. I wandered in hoping for perhaps a burger or fries to get me thru till I either sell another child to pay for a second fine dining experience at the LQLs Roosevelt Restaurant, or venture another mile north to the Salmon House. Which has high praise for a salmon dinner (I think I saw about 5 variations) or some steak offerings. The prawns were discouraged, per a local I inquired, due to the carry out only status. I meandered a bit off subject. I was informed that the food I sought wasn't available due to kitchen closure. When the pandemic forced closure, it appears the kitchen appliances suffered unknown catastrophe when trying to fire them up n more recent months. Lack of business and serviceable parts furthered this misfortune. Thus the lacking stars. 4 stars if your needs are more immediate and merely some beer n chips or something processed to cook with a Colman or hot plate.

We had a beautiful view and timed it just right for a stunning sunset. To eat, we had the elk burger. It was meaty, juicy and flavorful. The fries were a nice accompaniment. We also had the clam chowder in a bread bowl and salad. The bread bowl was warm and felt like it was freshly baked, the clam chowder was delicious, and the salad was tasty and fresh. For my dog, I ordered the chicken breast. It came with a generous portion of quinoa and carrots. My dog gobbled it right up! We purchased a bottle of wine from the mercantile shop next door.

Our party included 3 adults - my son, daughter and myself. Our waitress brought drinks and took our order at 5:06 - a promising start. Unfortunately, that was the last time we saw her until our food arrived at 5:58. No check-ins, no refills, no updates, nothing. When my daughter unwrapped her silverware, the utensils were filthy with food caked on from the previous user. We understand mistakes happen, so she simply grabbed a clean setup from the empty table beside us and moved on. In hindsight this was a red flag. The real disappointment was the food. My son ordered the Spicy Shrimp Pomodoro Pasta. The dish arrived with exactly four shrimp and what can only be described as a child-sized portion of angel hair pasta placed in the center of an oversized plate. The shrimp themselves were seasoned well enough, but the pasta was devoid of any seasoning whatsoever. It was bland to the point of being unfinished. My daughter and I both ordered the Chicken Marsala, a dish we regularly enjoy at many restaurants. What arrived was a very small chicken cutlet (I cannot in good faith call it a chicken "breast" as stated in the menu) with sauce, a scoop of mashed potatoes, and a grilled vegetable.The whole dish was lukewarm at best. The chicken was shockingly dry - genuinely some of the driest chicken I've ever been served in a restaurant. It honestly tasted as though it had been cooked days before and reheated. We've had beef jerky with more moisture. At that point we wanted to speak with our waitress, but once again she was nowhere to be found. No doubt hiding in the kitchen because she had to have known what she was serving us. We ate what we could because we still had a drive of more than two hours ahead of us and did not want to stop again elsewhere. We refused to let the experience completely ruin our evening, but it absolutely put a damper on what was supposed to be a nice dinner for my son's last night in town. For a dinner that ultimately cost well over $125, the overall experience was incredibly disappointing. Long stretches with no service, dirty utensils, and extremely dry entrées are simply not what one expects at that price point. Poor service can happen anywhere. Serving food of this quality while seemingly absent from the dining room altogether reflects a much larger issue with how customers are being treated. We frequent the Olympic Peninsula, but we will never eat at Kalaloch Lodge again.

    THIS IS THE MOST REAL REVIEW YOU WILL SEE ABOUT THIS RESTAURANT. every yelp review about this place…read moreis so fake. After a long day of hiking and driving from Port Angeles to Forks, we did the Hoh trails and were extremely hungry after. We looked on Yelp and this was one of the highest rated places, so we thought it would be good. I genuinely do not understand the ratings. The food was terrible. The nachos were basically just a bag of stale chips served on a plate. There was maybe sour cream on ONE chip. The cheese was literally cold and frozen onto the chips. I'm not even exaggerating. The sandwiches were also extremely bland and nothing about the food matched what the reviews made this place seem like. Even looking through the reviews beforehand, so many of the Elite reviews read like the same forced AI review saying how amazing everything is. After actually eating here, I seriously question how this place has such a high rating. Easily one of the worst meals we had on the entire trip. I don't even wanna put a pic of the nachos that's how bad it was. the sandwiches were actually pretty decent that's about it.

This time we booked a couple of nights in the Lodge itself. It was wonderful to be able to go on hikes such as Mount Storm King and then come back to the Lodge later for a hot meal and cold drink. First I'd like to address the Lodge accommodations. The rooms are indeed small and the bathrooms are shared. Neither of these facts were problematic. Neither my wife nor I ever had to wait to use a bathroom (and there is also a bathroom downstairs if we did) or the shower. Yes the walls are thin and yes you might hear the neighbor snoring. It's a 100+ year-old Lodge and National Historic Place!! If your idea of roughing it is checking Into the Four Seasons without reservations, then maybe you should look elsewhere. Was the bed cozy? Yes! Get cozy! We ended up eating a lunch and two dinners at the restaurant. The full dinner menu is available from the bar as well, so even if reservations are full you can get the same meal in the lodge or on the enclosed patio. For lunch we had the sliders and a cup of chowder, both of which were wonderful. For dinner, one night we had the roasted wild-caught sablefish and braised pork shank, both of which also well prepared and very well presented. I appreciate a good plate presentation and the chef did not disappoint. For dinner on the second night, we had the sablefish again (it was that good) and the risotto with prawns. I had high hopes for the risotto but honestly it was the only disappointing meal we had at the Lodge. It was too salty for my liking and prawns were a little dry. The service, at the front desk, at the bar, and at the restaurant were all top notch. The staff seemed happy to be there, were eager to please and delightful conversationalists. I think a new concessionaire took over management of this location recently and they have done a great job creating a solid park experience. Finally, we enjoyed a couple of craft cocktails and glasses of wine during our stay and all was well-paired and well-made. Five stars and definitely recommend eating and staying at the Lodge.
