   Nice place and atmosphere, drinks from bar were great. Server was overwhelmed, so we didn’t get great service even though we had a reservation. Food was overpriced for small portions and lacked flavor. My Fiance ordered the salmon and it was incredibly overcooked and very bland. The server didn’t check on us to make sure our food was good. Overall a beautiful restaurant which makes for a great experience, but when you’re spending $50 on a dish, you expect the food to be amazing…. Not lackluster and burnt. Unfortunately, we left feeling very disappointed.

   We enjoyed our dinner on Valentine’s Day. The food was prepared well and tasted great. The service was a little slow as it appears they were behind on waiters or disorganized in the kitchen.

   So disappointing… we ate here a few years ago and had a horrible experience and the food was cold and undercooked but thought we’d try it again and had a even worse experience, if that’s possible. The food was under and over cooked. The chef obviously doesn’t taste the food that comes out for their kitchen. The Wagyu was seasoned well but cooked horribly, lobster risotto was flavorless with hardly any lobster and the risotto tasted like starch water, no seasoning at all. So sad for a resort restaurant. On a positive note, the wait-staff was friendly and helpful. We will never eat there again or suggest it to anyone.

   The food was great, esp. valentines day starters and salads. The lobster risotto was a bit disappointing and a bit generic, but the steak was excellent.

   Perfect Valentine's Day experience. This new lodge is absolutely stunning, and as local Sisters residents we've been waiting for the right opportunity to give the restaurant a try. Valentine's Day seemed ideal as they not only had their regular menu, but also a special Valentine's Day menu. The food was impeccably delicious and actually quite decently priced considering the stunner of a location, huge wall to floor windows looking right out onto the ranch lake and mountains (unfortunately they were clouded in this afternoon, but it was still a beautiful scene in its own right). We had the Wagyu coulotte, with the bourbon carrots and the winter salad and the taste was just as delicious as the plating. To top it off, the service was wonderful and the ambiance unbeatable. We will definitely be returning.

   Great experience on a Monday night when the restaurant wasn’t busy. Server was excellent and food delicious. There were 9 in our party ( family with kids, parents and grandparents). Everyone was very with their menu choices. We’ll be back.

    We love the lodge restaurant at Black Butte. It's absolutely gorgeous and cozy inside. The service was excellent (thank you, Alexis!). My husband and I shared the Caesar salad which was good but way overdressed. I had the ribeye which was cooked to perfection but the sides were just okay. My husband had the sturgeon and thought it was a little dry. The pork shank was sold out but is apparently the star of the menu. We'll try it next time.
