Beautiful restaurant and good service. Unfortunately the food was mediocre, especially the entrees. We all ordered from the Sunset menu. The clam chowder was good with lots of clams. The Caesar salad was a typical Caesar salad. The shrimp cocktail made with petite shrimp and virtually no sauce was disappointing. The salmon duet with shrimp was also disappointing. Both proteins were overcooked. The accompanying rice was nothing special and the Brussels sprouts were tasteless. The roasted garlic prawn entree was actually small shrimp and difficult to eat as the shrimp were in the shell. It also came with the same rice and Brussels. Both desserts options were very good.

About the restaurant

Possibly Sun Valley's most popular lunch spot. The Sun Valley Club is open for guests and the public for both indoor and outdoor seating. Outside, our wraparound terrace features stunning views of Bald Mountain, Dollar Mountain, and the Trail Creek Golf Course, creating a one-of-a-kind al fresco dining experience in the summer. Inside, the restaurant and bar are surrounded by glass walls and river rock. A lively spot to watch golf or football on four large-screen TV's. Open daily from 11am to 3pm. Come and enjoy the view!
