one word, AMAZING!!
I want to start this noting I NEVER write reviews.
I am a foodie...I have dined in and worked in many top rated fine dining establishments on both coasts. I was very impressed with our meal and the service.
We drove up 2 hrs to go hiking the falls and planned to eat here on the way back . I am so glad we did.
They were closing at 8 and we got there at 7:15 and hoped not to be rushed even though it was close to closing time.
The dining rooms where very nice, they had a cozy fire in the first room and the main room had a huge picture window with a great view of the valley that I am sure is gorgeous to see during day light hours.
Our Server Micalena was so nice, and the menu had a wide Varity of items but not too many that i was lost.
We both had the French onion soup to warm up from the chilly hike, it was hands down one of the best ever...and like everything else we ordered, HUGE!
Next came the salads...I looked at my date as our server brought them, they were HUGE!!!
We both were cracking up ,. they were fresh and crisp and the home made croutons were Devine!
Everything was PERFECTLY Timed, Micalena never rushed us and never asked if we were ready for the next course , she was beyond on point.
Then came dinner ....I thought there was another tables food with ours on the tray.
We hade the prime rib with jalapeno butter and the chef made me a jumbo lump covered chicken francaise..
OMGOODNESS both were amazing!
First, I have never had prime rib fat dissolve in my mouth , it was amazing, and the butter was beyond words. This was a perfectly cooked King Cut .
The Jumbo lump crab amount was massive and FRESH, and the chicken was like butter and a large portion
Everything was EXCELLENT, down to the breading on the the onion rings, I have never been excited over an onion ring LOL!
The sides were huge and Micalena brought us an extra side of the house carrots in sherry wine so we could try them and they were amazing too.
Then Dessert.....I was not expecting to have dessert included and definitely not to have so many choices either.
I was ready to hear three flavors of ice-cream and maybe chocolate cake, not the full dessert menu.
We both opted for the home made Mousse as we were stuffed from dinner....
like everything else the bowls were HUGE and it was hands down the best we have ever had.
The last shocker was the check.
I did not have my glasses with me and when I glanced down I had to ask if she brought the right check.
I dont care about meal prices. Usually for the type of meal we had had I would expect to pay around $100 , and would gladly have paid more for the quality of the food and size of the portions served here.
It was a fraction of that.
if you have a big family they have $18 dinner specials, full course, same size ( I had to ask)
Its nice to know there are places out there that make it so if someone was on a budget they could afford to take there whole family out to a superb meal .
Well done , THIS is how you do business.
thank you to the staff at the Look out house, what a PERFECT end to a amazing date!
We will be driving the two hours up again to dine here in...
Read moreAgree with other diners..... small town restaurant... nothing fancy to look at.... I was very surprised at the menu... prices were actually on point for today.... if not actually lower considering the portion size you get.... we kind of shared a prime rib dinner and a white clam linguine dinner.... we were both pretty hungry as it was almost 9:00 when we were served... and still took home probably a third of the steak and the pasta.... definitely try the coleslaw it's one of the best I've ever had homemade actually met the chef that makes it sorry I can't remember his name.... and if Nina tells you that I actually drank the coleslaw sauce out of the bottom of my bowl... I'm going to deny it ....Nina was attentive... friendly... and very helpful with explaining the meals.. full transparency I can be a real pain sometimes.... I asked a lot of questions .... and often change things ...she got everything perfectly correct..... food was really good ...prime rib was outstanding... huge... with a nice Grilled taste... the clam linguine was very good again large portion a lot of clams not just like chopped up little clams these were cut up but they were large clams... this dish has a rustic taste a little different than the plain white clam that were used to... but very good... we ate a lot... had leftovers I haven't been served that much food... and had a bill under $70 in a very very long time... Nina said there's all kinds of specials she suggests Sundays... my husband's here for the power plant outage... and when they realize that a few people came out of the kitchen to say hello that they had family on the outage... and just wanted to come out and say hi.... I have only one suggestion not even a complaint.... I think the lights should have been a little dimmer it's just a little too bright for a 9:00 dinner.... but definitely check it out you won't be sorry... thank you Lookout house team... it was nice to see people working together... for the common goal of pleasing their...
