This a ski bar restaurant with decent pricing and healthy portions and friendly staff. It is a local favorite with a casual bar vibe. Definitely make reservations and dine early. We arrived around 5:15pm on a summer Friday so that made parking and seating much easier. The place is very large with backyard seating and they have a fun list of beers on tap. Our waiter was great – very accommodating and mostly attentive. Almost all the food had “yummy sauce” on it – someone needs to tell them that it’s not so yummy – it’s just super sweet mild BBQ sauce. We had heard they have great sushi. The Matterhorn poke bowl was good and I skipped the yummy sauce and opted for soy sauce instead – it was so huge that I managed to only eat half of it. The California roll was good too. The quality of the sushi is standard – about the same as Sushi Yoshi but definitely more food for the money. The selection is mostly rolls and a la carte sushi or sashimi by the piece so no sushi or sashimi dinner combinations. There is the party platter $99 for 5 rolls, 4 pieces of sushi and 8 sashimi but we’d probably still be there trying to finish it. The 12 oz NY strip steak was good and we skipped the bourbon sauce because it really doesn’t need it. The glazed brussel sprouts were a surprise – a little dry and charred but flavorful and all were eaten. We wanted to try the chocolate confusion cake but had no room left! We were a bit disappointed when we responded that we’d like indoor seating and were not seated in the very popular indoor patio tables by the stream – it was our first time dining here so we didn’t know to ask for that seating but it became obvious we were in the least popular seating as we sat by ourselves while the rest of the restaurant filled until a very large group arrived and were seated near us. This group enjoyed multiple pizzas. It is definitely kid friendly and good for large groups – just make sure you have reservations. For me a 3.5 stars but since the rating must a whole star and we will go back,...

In terms of the food- seriously disappointing, my fries came out cold, the food tasted like it sat around, which it probably did, we waited over 45 minutes and the cocktails were really watered down. My Spritz tasted like total seltzer water. Overall, a very underwhelming dining experience if you’re looking for a good meal.

For the venue and management/ staff- I had the most horrific experience at The Matterhorn during their "ice breaking contest" event. The event was poorly organized and dangerously executed, with zero safety precautions in place. They failed to explain any safety measures or potential risks involved.

I assumed there would be some level of precaution taken by the venue—especially considering there were drunk, overserved patrons crowded around the contest area. Unfortunately, that was not the case.

During the contest, I was struck by a flying brick of ice and suffered a significant injury. I was left bleeding with a huge knot on my head. Instead of receiving any assistance or concern from the staff, the management was only interested in diffusing the situation quickly. They rushed us out of the bar, showing no regard for my injury or well-being.

To make matters worse, their treatment of our group was utterly disrespectful. Some of us weren't even drinking, yet the staff acted dismissively and irresponsibly. The management's lack of empathy and professionalism was appalling.

I strongly advise against attending any events at The Matahorn. The disregard for safety and customer care is unacceptable.

Pictures for example + video shows 1.5 hours post event- the ice shirt was still rock solid. That’s what I get pelted with by a 200lb man participating in the contest at full...
