    The ambience and location of South Fork Lodge are incredible! We had drinks overlooking the Snake River prior to dinner, and the views are spectacular. Their cocktails are great. The food is good, however for $90 per person (not including drinks) we thought that the price was very high for the food that was served.

    It was an enjoyable evening - we drove from Alta so it would have needed to blow us away to ever do it again and it didn't. You can't beat the setting and beauty, but at the price point for what was served I wouldn't do it again. Also, at this price point you need professional servers at the top of their game, and while our server was polite, they were inexperienced and couldn't even offer an opinion on what was being served from a set menu!

    Great food with excellent service and friendly staff. The ambiance of dinner on the Snake River with the Teton views is fabulous. And that bourbon bar! SFL is our go-to for a special night when friends and family are visiting.

    We loved everything about our experience at the South Fork Lodge. The food, service and atmosphere were all amazing. We were happy that we were able to eat outside so that we could enjoy the location that much more. The interior of the lodge was the right mix of rustic and comfort. We will absolutely be back!

    A stunningly beautiful property and location with good service. Food was just ok, and very expensive for what it was. Nightly dinner service is a set menu and you must call ahead if you have dietary restrictions, which we didn’t know, leaving one member of our party frustrated.
