Restaurants near The Lodge at Blue Lakes

Four of us went for breakfast on Christmas day. We were looking for an upscale restaurant for our traditional breakfast out with another couple. I did not realize that it would be a price-fix menu. Because of the limited menu items and dietary limitations, I needed to invent an egg with vegetable dish. Their country breakfast had eggs, sausage, potatoes, and toast. But since I did not eat sausage and they offered no gluten-free bread, I needed to think fast about whether I wanted to eat breakfast for $38. I asked the server if we could add vegetables to make an omelet. The chef created a delicious meal of eggs with spinach, onions, and mushrooms, a serving of baby-roasted potatoes, and a side of fruit substituted for the toast. It was fantastic.

Great food, however their wine prices are ridiculous. Bring you own bottle and get stuck with paying their $25 corkage fee. Better than paying their wine prices for mediocre wines. Sad when they try to make money off of their wine.

Walked around the cozy, picturesque town of Healdsburg prior to our reservation. When we walked in the front door, they greeted up by name, took our coats and offered a delicious warm tea from the kitchen window. We next walked into the dining room and felt like we’d stepped into a beautiful restaurant in Japan. The table was already decorated and prepared with the first bites, arranged on miniature rock garden. Each dish, each course was fantastic. From the immaculate presentation, to the ingredients, the taste. It was amazing. Would recommend to anyone. And only when we were leaving, did I find out that it’s also a hotel, where you can stay in Healdsburg, not only for their dinner rezzies but also for breakfast delivered to your room. I’d totally forgotten about that part. It was all amazing.

Food was delicious! Particularly loved the focaccia bread.
