    I made reservations for 3 of us. Conf. #'s 260 & 261. Unfortunately, due to a WINTER WEATHER WARNING, we were unable to attend. I have reached out to Jen at the Lookout at Hope Lake, only to have my emails and phone calls IGNORED. I know about the not refund policy. But I didn't realize that meant the same for BAD WEATHER! I spent almost $150.00 for the 3 reservations, and I would like the money back, but if not, how about a credit for another time? I was under the impression that you had to make and pay for your reservations in advance. If that wasn't the case, they should have advertised that better. At this point, I feel that they only care about the money (they keep) than the lives of those who spent the money at their establishment. I will NEVER suggest this to anyone I know. And I will be sure to tell them about the "radio silence" I have received since! Stupid me, for wanting to do something nice for my 81 year old mother! NEVER AGAIN!

    Overall the place is spectacular! Absolutely scenic outside and elegant inside . The service was excellent! The food was very very good. I was very pleased with all the labeled gluten-free options. . Family friendly. We will definitely book this again for a holiday or special event ! At first, when we saw the line was waiting outside to be seated, we were slightly concerned in the chili air. But it moved very quickly, and was well worth the line.

    This was for an Easter buffet. Trips up to buffet line had 2 bins empty (salmon and the pancakes), prime rib slices we very, very thin, salad was a spinach salad ..would have preferred buffet salad or a spring mix salad, there was no crepe table or antipasto on table like past years and dessert table was not many nice desserts..more donuts, puddings, cookies and candy. Service was excellent for drinks and additional items for table. We were at a table of 10 people and service was excellent and the setting and decorations were very pretty. We thought the price at $52, although it did include tips, was a little high for this buffet menu.

    Love the ambience. For the size of the place you expect it to be a little noisy but it was not bad. Our food was good but it was not very warm by the time we got to our seats. We were a little disappointed that they did away with the shrimp! The employees are all fantastic. Not having to cook or clean up was definitely worth it to us.
