Grill In The Woods — Restaurant in Maple Valley

The Grill in the Woods is located at Druids Glenn Golf Club. It is pretty much what you would expect atmosphere wise. The food was actually good. I had a hamburger that was better than some of the more expensive restaurants I've eaten at. The wife had the fish tacos, which she said were very good, but for the price, there should have been 3, not 2. The desserts were cheese cake, which was good because cheese cake. The waitress was very young, attentive, but not experienced and not at all talkative. The cocktails were terrible. The pomegranate Drop tasted like soap. I tasted two others, and one was supposed to be blueberries and tasted like lavender. The other was made with carrot juice and just tasted bad. The good news is they had some good beer choices. Good for food, bad for cocktails, good for beer, no...

Wait staff was ok- we were seated at a table that hadn't been cleared. The host grabbed the plates and wiped the table, but didn't do a very good job wiping it down. Then he didn't give us silverware (we had to ask after our food was served for napkins).

I watched the same situation play out on a neighboring table as well.

Menu was different from what I found online- which was a bummer because I was planning on some meatless options that sounded good. Unfortunately Mac and cheese was the only meat free option. Since I do eat fish, I went for the tuna sandwich, but really wanted something vegetarian. The sweet potato fries were OK but a generous portion. My husband said the burger was ok. The fries were tasty. Seemed overpriced for a tuna fish sandwich.

Decor was nice and pleasant as was the view...

Glad to have recently discovered this hidden spot. I had take out and very much enjoyed the food. Got some mixed drinks to go as well which were nice and especially boozy. The staff was cool and welcoming. And the views over the golf fields are nice as well, if you're into that sort of thing.

One issue I have is how inconvenient it was to find the actual restaurant. There are no signs on the building or entrance letting you know whether you're at the right building. The GPS gets you close but then there are a couple of buildings, both of which are difficult to identify without going inside.

I'd gladly bump it up to a 5 stars review if and whenever they take measures to address...
