    Very nice dinner, early so rather noisy with children. Server was very smart and held off to place the entrée order since my salad was large, ended up more than I could finish. Saved me money and I really appreciated the attention to detail. Thank you

    We had a very good meal at Rush Creek. We had a 7:30 reservation and were asked if we would be willing to eat in the Tavern. It was very noisy in there with kids so we declined and enjoyed the dining room. Service started out prompt but then took a while at which point they brought both appetizers and the main course at the same time. Portions were large and food was delicious. But I think they were hoping to get us out by 8:30.

    Nice place to go after a day of hiking. Steak frites, salads and fish and chips were good. Mushroom flatbread and thai coconut curry didn't really work unfortunately. Tasty cocktails and super cold beers. Only place to really go so was glad to have it

    We went to dinner two nights in a row. Both nights were pretty packed and I only saw maybe 2 servers the entire time. Our server seemed very annoyed and overwhelmed. Everything was also a little slow because they were so understaffed. Our food & drinks both nights were great I must say!

    We had a 5:45 reservation. They told us it would e about ten minutes. There were empty tables all over the place, very quiet. They kept trying to get us to eat in the bar or go in there for a drink. We said no we would stay at the desk until our table was ready. They said something about having to wait eight minutes between sittings at booths? I didn’t understand it. We asked to speak to a manager. They then seated us. Manager never came by. Food was fine. I had Philly steak sandwich and my wife had the Bolognese. Our grandson had a kids hot dog and fries. Fifteen dollars. Stale bun. He just ate the Weiner. Kids food way overpriced. We are eating breakfast and dinner here the next four days. Hopefully we can get seated at our reservation time. After a long day of driving and hiking we just wanted our table with glasses of water, lol.

    Staying at Rush Creek Lodge for four nights with no transport left us at the mercy of the quality of the restaurant and tavern. Fortunately it’s great. The menu is varied and has something for everyone. The drinks list is extensive and includes many craft beers and a great wine list. The food itself is of a far higher quality than you might suggest from a family friendly resort. Steaks are fantastic, salads are huge and tasty and we rarely picked anything from the menu and were disappointed. Highly recommended for a family stay.

    Le restaurant du Rush Creek Lodge est installé dans une ambiance sympathique, les plats sont variés, copieux, pour un raisonnable. L’attente n’est pas très longue, le service est rapide, y compris le week end. Je recommande malgré tout de réserver, même si vous logez sur place. Une salle de jeux (billard, flipper, etc..) entièrement gratuite, permet de se détendre agréablement après le repas. Vraiment très agréable.
