Typically when you decide to have lunch at the top of a ski mountain, you anticipate a dank, dark, outdated, crowded, and ridiculously overpriced bowl of chili, a beer, and a bag of chips. Not so at the Rosebrook Lodge. Sitting atop the Bretton Woods ski resort, Rosebrook Lodge is a new, brightly lit with floor-to-ceiling glass walls, spacious with a great staff and great food.
I was there on a vacation week, on a near blue-bird day, and had no trouble getting a seat at the bar. The Grilled Cheese Sandwich was SPECTACULAR. It was a buttered, grilled, fresh baguette with perfectly gooey cheddar and American cheese. The tomato soup dip was delicious and not from a can (it certainly was not the one made famous by Andy Warhol). This was an elevated grilled cheese sandwich to which all others would be compared. I want to give the Chef a big thumbs up. Rosewood also has a good selection of craft beer on tap and in bottles. It was a great lunch.
Also, big props to Robert at the bar, who expertly handled the growing thirsty ski crowd. Robert was efficient, friendly, fun, and funny. I am looking forward to seeing him again for another grilled Cheese sandwich. read more
