The Dining Room At Sun Mountain Lodge

We were fortunate to dine twice at the Dining Room, once for dinner and the second time for their Thanksgiving buffet wonderful experiences both. Our servers Franky and Ashley were warm, personable, enjoyable, attentive and professional. Enjoyed them both. For our dinner we tried the mushroom strudel appetizer what an amazing treat of mushrooms in a nice sauce wrapped in a flaky phyllo like pastry. Highly recommend. The chicken curry soup (I believe a house specialty) was superb. Generous chunks of hand cut chicken in a broth with a nice level of curry spice; vegetables also mixed in. The sun mountain salad was fresh, crisp, nicely presented and not too large. The steelhead was excellently prepared and presented. The caesar salad was also fresh and crisp as well as (and this is important to me) NOT smothered in dressing. The raspberry cheesecake was good but definitely light on the raspberries. On to the Thanksgiving buffet what a glorious feast. So many delights to partake. The fresh made dinner rolls were light and flavorful. The cranberry sauce had some magical secret ingredients that made it delightful. The bread stuffing was amazingly moist and tasty with a wonderful mix of ingredients Somehow, the chef managed to pull off nearly perfect preparation of brussels sprouts quite a feat at a buffet. The mashed potatoes were rich and creamy. The salmon was not up to par with the rest of the spread. The Cajun mustard sauce for the ham was a great added touch You could also grab chunks of either white or dark turkey meat. The pumpkin cheesecake pie dessert shined above the two chocolate alternative. For both meals, the wine list list in the Dining Room is very extensive with huge number of Washington wines to choose from (along with wines from around the world). Whether you are staying at the lodge or not you should check out the dining room.

The server was great! He was very attentive yet not bothersome. He made some 10 year anniversary so special! The conversation was great and appropriate with him. Food was great, drinks were great, the seating was great and not one did we feel like we had to raise our voices to hear each other.

In the dining room of the sun mountain lodge we had a wonderful jubilee dinner. the only problem was that the reservation system open table did not work. on the day before our dinner I received an email from open table and replied that yes, we wanted to use our reservation. but when we came to the lodge, they had no record of our reservation of open table. Nevertheless they immediately took us to the place and we had a very nice experience. we love sun mountain lodge!

This is our second time in the sunnenberghütte. we had a wonderful visit last year. we are a family with two children, and we were all very disappointed that the breakfast of the great buffet that changed last year. it worked really great for the kids and was more affordable. this time we do not have enough options mostly for the kids and the prices are higher- does not feel for a good value for money. we enjoy the food we ordered. a few more things - last year we had the opportunity to make hot kakao and tee this year, it is much more difficult to do. we feel like this is an essential part and if they come back from a ski session, they just want to get a hot drink in their room.

Filets were perfectly cooked. holiday drinks were very funny-- much to choose! the mushroom whirl is always a favorite and never fails. service was great- we were here several times and this particular server was one of the best we had.
