   From our welcome at the door by Alex, our visit to Meander exceeded all expectations. His craft cocktails were exquisite! Every course was delivered and described by Dan, and were all exceptional. Can’t wait to return.

   Valentine's Day dinner - chef prepared meal with over 7 courses. Each course was fantastic and the wine paring was phenomenal. We have not had a finer meal in area. Not a cheap dinner but worth every penny!

   My wife and I had a Valentine’s Day dinner there. We are “foodies”. 7 courses, from appetizers to dessert. The entire meal was special and worth every penny and more. Very highly recommend.

   My husband and I ate at Meanders restaurant Friday night. Chef Dan cooked amazing dinner. The food was amazing, I was able to enjoy the smells, the texture, and the visual platting of the food. Each dish tasted wonderful as I rolled it around in my mouth. We will come back again.

   My husband and I learned of Meander Restaurant two days before going. It was dark upon arrival so all I can say is we felt we were secluded from life and were greeted in the parking lot by Cappie himself. Upon reaching the entrance, we were met with a warm, inviting space filled with beautiful handcrafted artwork and nicely appointed tables. It’s quaint with seating for around 16. The bar was open and Alex made the best gin martini I’ve tasted! We spent a good while getting to know Cappie, meeting Sprout(absolutely delightful), before guests arrived for the 6 pm seating. I had know idea Cappie would be assisting with the dinner service! Chef Dan came out and introduced himself and each dish. From one dish to the next, they were meticulously plated and absolutely mouthwatering! The menu started off with an amuse-bouche, followed by a twist on caprese salad, then a pasta course(my personal favorite)! The seafood course was a beautifully prepared salmon dish, then on to the meat course of Braised Beef Cheek paired with mushroom risotto. Dessert was a deconstructed Tiramisu. I can’t say enough that Chef Dan is very talented, cares about every detail which results in amazing food! From mini “tacos” made from Parmesan and potato, to skinned tomatoes garnished with baby basil, pasta made perfectly Al dente, it all was stunning! Oh I forgot the homemade focaccia! No doubt we will be returning because it was worthy of repeat business but I must admit, the hospitality shown to us was as appreciated and as special as the meal! We spent some time after getting to know Chef Dan and by the end of the night, we felt welcomed like family. Meander is how a dining experience should be from start to finish! I can’t wait to return!!

    Meander exceeded expectations for my small birthday dinner for 4. We took a quiet dirt road in the middle of a snowstorm, to arrive upon the well designed resort. Cappy and Rachel welcomed us personally as we entered the cozy dining area. We were guided to the bar where the mixologist showed his talents with a custom drink list to match the evening’s dinner theme. Our table was nicely spaced from the others, even though the room was full, and we enjoyed the ability to visit during our 6 course meal. The food was delightful and designed in a New York style theme. I highly recommend making a reservation if you’re looking for fine dining in the Black Hills!
