Restaurants near Old Phantom Creek Ranger Station

We had a wonderful lunch the day after Christmas. Had the French Onion Dip appetizer, Reuben, Fall Crunch Salad, portobello burger, and GOG Burger, and raspberry sorbet for dessert (various diners). All items were served hot and fresh and everyone loved their food. Compared to other fine dining venues, the prices are similar, so the incomparable views and ambience are essentially free. That makes the Grand View Dining room a bargain for a special meal. Highly recommend.

We came for Christmas dinner to do something different. We had a prefix five course meal. The food and service were spot on. They served charcuterie as course two after a truffle devils egg that was divine. They were only open for two weeks so people were still training so there a few kinks to be worked out but that’s to be expected. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The view is spectacular. If you’re eating I wouldn’t want to sit in the middle chairs and lean over on to a coffee table which they tried to seat us.

We chose to have brunch at Pamela’s on Christmas morning. Our server (Brenden, I believe) was prompt, courteous, and attentive, but not intrusive. The runner that brought our food was very polite and made sure everything was correct, and that we had everything we needed. We never felt rushed. Our food was absolutely delicious. I had the mushroom and Swiss omelette, and it was done perfectly. Not browned on the outside, the filling was incredibly tasty, and the eggs were fluffy. The potatoes had a little zest, and I actually ate them. I usually don’t bother with sides. My husband had stuffed French Toast, with bacon and eggs. He said it was amazing, and very flavorful. I also had the Jack’s Valley Old Fashioned, and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. It had a nice spice to it, and a sweet caramel note. We can’t wait to come back and try other dishes!

We were seated immediately, our waiter was amazing as he went over the remarkable menu, told us his favorites and also made great recommendations. The service was perfectly timed, The drinks were fabulous, the Arancini and Fried Calamari were outstanding with incredible sauces for both. The Shrimp Fra Diaviola was delicious, so was the Chicken Picatta and the Tonios Rigatoni. They also provide salads so 2 Traditional & 2 Caesar were both excellent. The Dessert menu was awesome but we were so full we couldn’t order one. Can’t wait to return to try more on the menu!

Food, ambiance, and service was fantastic. Such a fun and tasty dining experience. Cannot wait to come back and try different seasonal menus. The perfect afternoon!
