Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Gretchen's offers a delightful dining experience with "top quality" food and an "amazing" covered patio overlooking an ice rink. The menu shines with dishes like crab cakes, burgers, and the unique Rachel sandwich. While service can vary, the serene setting and "excellent" cocktails make it a popular choice.

    Reservation was for outside but when we arrived we were told they were not sitting outside because it was too cold (it was in the 70s, but ok)…than we saw them repeatedly sitting people outside. So rude and not professional.

    Like all Sun Valley restaurants, the food is excellent, and Gretchen’s was no different. The covered patio is amazing, food great. However, the service was severely lacking. Though our server was kind and personable, she was not attentive. Our salad plates had to be removed by the individual bringing our dinner (literally swapping plates). Thankfully the food was good and prepared correctly because it was 15 minutes after the meal was delivered that she checked on us. There were four of us, and it took over an hour to get our meal. While it was Labor Day weekend, it wasn’t overly busy and I saw other servers who were properly taking care of their tables. I would return; however, I would taper my expectations on the service and I’d plan for a two hour dinner.

    Service was notably professional and excellent. Despite having arrived early, when only one other table was occupied, our party of three was seated at a table right on the main pathway into and out of the kitchen, which made the experience less enjoyable with the constant traffic of busy servers going in and out.
