    Jody was an outstanding server tonight. We had been once before and it was good and brought our daughter tonight and it was outstanding. I see future business potential here with new conference facility. Highly recommend! Casual ease but can be elevated celebration too.

    From the appetizers (baked oysters / apple salad) to the main courses (snitzel/halibut) everything was top notch. Service was excellent as well.

    Service was great as soon as we walked in the door. There is a nice sitting area to have drinks while you wait for a table. The food and recommendations we received were amazing. The space is small and we really enjoyed the large separation between tables as it felt more intimate. We celebrated our anniversary and all staff made us feel special. We would definitely recommend and go back.

    RT Lodge is always a wonderful experience. From the moment you drive into the property, you know it will be a special evening. All of the food wes fantastic as always. From the roasted oysters and beet salad to the pan seared chicken, halibut with oyster mushrooms and the shortrib with roasted vegetables. Kristen was an excellent server and the dining room remodel is beautiful. Can't wait to go back

    This was such a lovely restaurant experience! I would go back tomorrow if I could. Everything we had was delicious. The warmth and beauty of the place inside and out is so welcoming. We drove two hours to meet our children there for dinner. While eating, we were all discussing when we were going to come back. Truly divine!

    An excellent experience every time. Creative menu that includes limited options but something for everyone. Appetizers and salads are creative and delicious. Service is formal while still being relaxed and friendly. Setting for the restaurant is beautiful and makes you feel like you have escaped to an exclusive forest retreat.

    The service staff were all excellent as was the food and ambience. Two of us had the burger with fries which is not on the restaurant menu, only the bar menu, but they were happy to serve it and it was excellent. The other two of us had the halibut with oyster mushrooms and sun chokes and it was fantastic too. We tried two of the chocolate desserts and they also were excellent. We will definitely return, especially for special occasions. All the hype was accurate.
