With magnificent lakeside views, this spacious and handsomely designed restaurant with vaulted ceilings is the most refined of the park's lodges. Enjoy 7, 10 or 14oz prime rib, grilled wild Alaskan salmon, surf and turf burger, craft cocktails and microbrews, and watch bears munch on berries in the bushes outside. The staff, mostly international and seasonal (like all the lodges), have service kinks to work out early in the summer.
The breakfast buffet (adult/child $17.50/10.50) is worth the relative splurge.
