Sun Valley’s original restaurant, The Ram has been warming and welcoming diners since 1937. This rustic-yet-elegant dinner house has been recently modernized, while still preserving its historic charm. Pianist Larry Harshbarger brings a classic ambiance to the room with gentle melodies played on our resident baby grand piano. Travel back in time with the nightly “Heritage Menu”—a series of historic dishes such as pork tenderloin schnitzel, Hungarian goulash, and the famous Ram fondue—resurrected from the restaurant’s long and storied culinary tradition.

A credit card is required to hold your reservation. Should your plans change, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance. Last minute cancellations and no shows may be charged $25 per person.

Holiday reservations are not available online, but can be made by calling our guest center at 208.622.2800.

    The food at The Ram was very good, the portions were small to moderate for the price. I made a reservation through Open Table a week in advance and told them it was a special occasion (birthday). The telephone reservation system at The Ram was not working well apparently. We were given a table that was adjacent to both the kitchen entrance and the hostess station. Very noisy, busy, and uncomfortable. The service was painfully slow (1hr 45minutes for dinner, no cocktails), we were not offered any breads or other snacks to munch on between courses and it was just generally not a comfortable experience. $210 for two fish dinners, two salads, one appetizer, and two non-alcoholic drinks...not worth it. When I make a reservation a week in advance and tell the establishment it's an occasion, I expect a table that doesn't feel like it's in the median of the 405 Freeway.

    We had a wonderful meal the staff was very attentive. We have been to the Ram around four times over the past year and have never been disappointed! The decorations for the holiday season outside is especially wonderful.

    Dinner was fabulous. All the staff was super friendly and accommodating. The piano in the restaurant added to the ambiance, and the jazz festival in the bar added to the fun. Loved it
