Highly recommend the Wagyu Skirt over Arugula!
La Bottega
After our zip lining adventure (highly recommend doing first) we enjoyed an amazing lunch with beautiful views!
4 Eagle Ranch Bar & Grill
My husband and I both had the “MAIALE ARROSTO” (dry rubbed pork chop, whiskey & bacon gouda sauce & deep fried roasted garlic mashed potatoes) as well as the Caesar Salad
Vendetta’s
Can not rave enough about their Steak Tacos, Spicy Spinach-Artichoke Dip, Cheeseburgers, Truffle Fries, Filet and Double Chocolate Layer Cake!!! Too many great recommendations to choose from!
Elway's
Have heard that the crushed avocado and smoked tomato salsa with chips & the Wagyu beef smashburger on a potato bun is the way to go!
The Gambit Bar
My husband ordered the Elk and I ordered the Pork-chop. We both split the Yukon Gold Puree (fancy for mashed potatoes 😂 but they did taste amazing!!) For dessert my husband had the S’More Baked Alaska and I had their Cheesecake!
