    We've been here 7 days and we've been to pretty much all restaurants in the park. This is probably the worst food you can get in the park, and no service at all. You think the menus are exactly the same as the restaurant next door, yes they are, but the food itself is drastically different. For example, the hummus is so dry and cold that you think it's been sitting on the countertop for two days before being served to you. The grilled trout tastes like can food and to be frank even worse than the can food. If you have extra time, go to the restaurant next door, or drive to the general store and there's a Grill inside which serves much better food.

    My entree was the the trout. Chewy and fishy tasting, it came immediately, pretty obviously out of the microwave. I only ate three bites.

    The rice pilaf and frozen boiled baby carrots were acceptable, so that was my meal. Also the Caesar salad was edible, albeit the worst I ever ate in a restaurant.

    I was tempted to leave the leftovers out to see if the bears would eat it but I think I know the answer. Definitely skip this place and stick to Ramen or whatever you packed for your trip.

    All around not great. The huckleberry chicken was just a slice of chicken with BBQ sauce. Season veggies were steamed baby carrots. Like...really y'all? The roasted red pepper soup was actually pretty good, probably because bagged soup the you heat up is super hard to ness up. Stay at your campsite and do it up there with some top ramen and chicken dogs.

    Not sure if it was wise to have missed our dinner reservation at the Grant Village Dining Room and came here instead. Changed our mind because the price we saw of the Dining Room menu was ridiculously high and Lake House didn't require a reservation...

    The food is simply awful, bland, somewhat pricey (OK, the taste of the food just doesn't justify for the asking price); yet they were good on the eyes (vibrant colors) and probably good for your health (wheat rolls, wheat pasta, steamed veggies on the side for each dish). The only thing I enjoyed was the meatballs from the pasta dish.

    The restaurant itself is clean, has pleasant décor, and the servers are helpful. Our waitress looks like Meryl Streep (!) and was so nice to offer to call and cancel our reservation over at the Dining Room (since I could not connect to the Internet inside the establishment and it was more trouble for her to give me their number than to just make the call for me). It's got a nice view of the lake if that's what you're looking for! They also serve a breakfast buffet (at $12.99 per person I think) in the morning but I was too discouraged by the taste of our dinner to come back again...

    The chicken was dry and dredged over a salt lick. The mashed potatoes were 2 small scoops of potatoes that were not cooked all the way through. For the amount paid, a Wendy's would have been more welcome.
