Good for special occasions
Charming

A cozy apres work, apres the day escape right inside the city. A warm room, great cocktails, simple food made well and a feel that makes you forget you're not in the mountains. A place to watch the game, play shuffle board or just unwind at the wood or with your dog on the patio.

This was my first visit and was very pleased with the service, the food, and the staff. My only complaint was the volume of the music. I can never understand why the music is played so loudly. Regardless this is a place I will definitely come back to.

Service was on point and the food was really good! Sunday has all day Apres Hour deals which features a couple drink specials and some food deals too. The brunch menu is also on during the weekends and everything looked great!

The Lodge is a great restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch but the fish was very greasy this time and a little overcooked. Perhaps it was just an off day. Everything else was great. Our waitress was very attentive. Thank you.

Server was great, food not so great. Also appears we have been mistakenly double charged on our bill - we will wait for Visa to rectify transactions - hopefully this is only a simple delay in transaction refund.

Great place for casual Canadiana food with a nice date night or elevated hang-out atmosphere. The vibe is 'cozy cottage meets trendy', service was awesome, and food is comforting casual affair with an elevated flavour and ingredients.

We dined with another couple prior to a performance nearby and found the atmosphere, food and service to all be great. The prices were reasonable and we will definitely be returning.
