The Dining Room At The Village Lodge

Oh.My.Lord. Best surprise in a snow storm, in a ski lodge, in the whole Bay Area, ever. Let’s just say, I renewed my season pass because of this dining experience. Enough said? Same chef for 14 years. I hope he stays for another 14!

Not recommended. First of all, you *cannot drive* to this place in the winter. Need to either take the gondola (stops running at 8 pm or drive in the skiing parking lot and walk a half mile over the snow. After several loops around the property (thanks Google! we opted for the park and walk option. So we got there 13 min after our reservation time yet the table was not ready. Our table for 3 turned out to be a table for two with an added chair (lucky our 3rd person was a child . From order to arrival of food, we waited about 50 mins. Food itself was okay, but not special. The Papardelle could have used a little less salt, but were otherwise decent. The elk rack was decent meat, but the cranberry reduction tasted just like brown gravy with no hint of any berries. One bright spot the French fries that came with the kids' burger were deliciously crunchy. Parking: Cannot drive to this place in the winter.

Nice dining room, windows are very old and there’s a constant stream of frigid air that makes everyone uncomfortable.Food is bland, and poorly prepared. Cassoulet was just beans and potato, and the Pappardelle was just pasta and mushroom. And the wine list was fiction they hadn’t got anything listed.We waited over an hour before getting any food at all. That said, the staff were very nice and apologetic.I spoke to Lloyd, the manager, and he seemed disinterested in our experience.One star review primarily for Lloyd(!

Had a fantastic experience in this spot with my son. The food came rapidly and the customer service is just excellent. Prices are fair.

Another great time at the sugar bowl ski resort. Great kitchen staff. Great food. Great food service
