Saddle Peak Lodge is a place we’ve visited several times over the years, so we were really looking forward to our most recent dinner. Before going, I checked recent reviews and was surprised by how many 1-star ratings there were – which definitely gave me pause. Were we about to be disappointed too?
Happily, no. We had an excellent experience.
There were six of us, and we ordered a wide range of entrées: sea bass, salmon, chicken, rib eye, and lamb. Every single person rated their dish a solid 5 stars. My sea bass was outstanding -perfectly cooked with a lightly seasoned crunch. Honestly, one of the best sea bass dishes I’ve had.
That said, not everything hit. I didn’t love the Pink Lady salad. It was interesting, but the flavors didn’t quite come together for me. I also found the hors d’oeuvres and small plates uninspiring. I usually struggle to narrow down appetizers, but here I struggled to find one I wanted – and even the shared salad fell flat.
The rib eye deserves a special mention. One of our dining companions is a sous chef who regularly prepares rib eyes at his own restaurant, and he couldn’t believe how good it was. His only complaint? Not enough mashed potatoes. Desserts were a hit across the board – the bread pudding is a must.
Service was attentive and smooth, and surprisingly, the restaurant wasn’t packed – even on a Saturday night. One thing to note: valet is your only parking option, and it’s $20.
Will we be back? Probably. When Saddle Peak gets it right, it really gets it right.

Went for the Christmas dinner with a big group of friends & they were very accommodating.
Everyone was happy!
We were not expecting a prix fixe menu, as we were told it was not when the reservation was made. But even with 14 people (some VERY picky people lol) everyone was happy! Note there is no tipping but a 20%service fee instead.

A hidden gem in the canyon in what might be the most interest setting ever. The whole place is like a hunting lodge with hidden surprises around every corner. It has multiple stories with different themes, and a beautiful outdoor patio for dining and events. The food is also very good and high end. Great place to experience something new!

A highly regrettable meal. Wagyu Tomahawk steak was a disaster, especially for the price. No crust, very undercooked. I believe it was frozen and not fully defrosted. If you’re thinking of celebrating a special occasion here I would highly recommend you reconsider.

We have been coming here for years. This place used to be packed with people but not anymore. Now I know why. The food quality has changed through the years. It used to be very good and now it’s just so so. The bone morrow we ordered came on our table cold so we returned it and order another one. The second order was waxy and not edible. Then we had the tomahawk steak and we found hair in the order. Spoke to the manager and he refused to give us credit because the hair doesn’t belong to their staff, he said. This was the worst experience we had ever been treated. Sorry to say that we will never come back here to eat.

We used to love this place but had the worst dinner here a couple of weeks ago. I emailed the owner/mgr constructive feedback and never received a response. Stunning.
To start with the lowest point of the evening — my ribeye (which our waiter took off the bill) was one of the worst cuts of meat I’ve ever received at a restaurant – high end or otherwise. What should have been a delicious marbled cut, was almost purely fat and gristle. Most of it was left on my plate. I struggle to understand how kitchen staff could prepare and serve such a cut (at $80+) without recognizing that it has no place in a high end restaurant. One of the other guests in our party also had the ribeye — it was definitely a better, and edible, cut but not at all at the quality level I would expect from the Lodge of yore or at this price point. The rest of our meal was just…fine. Pork belly appetizer was dry and disappointing. Salad was lackluster. Pasta with shrimp — just okay. I could go on…
Massive disappointment given how great it used to be.

Love this place. Stephen has taken care of us twice. Exceptional service. He is very kind, polite and responsive. The food is exceptional, there are other items besides game food. It is a real experience to dine there and have such a great experience and food.

The managers at the restaurant are complete jerks. Do not go to this restaurant. Specifically Harry and Hargun were awful people as I was trying to book my rehearsal dinner. They sent me a menu, and then sent me an agreement which said prices were subject to change… even though I would be paying a deposit. Not only is this absolutely unacceptable but their attitude was especially unacceptable. They were unresponsive for over a week. They were inhospitable after we called and emailed several times. They were disrespectful in tone and in willing to work with me to book my event. Do not book here.

The first time I went to Saddle Peak Lodge was on a date (With my future wife). This was on early 1978 and it became our favorite restaurant.Back then they had three levels,we always sat at the top level and always ordered prime rib. We now live in Washington state and haven’t been there in many years but we will always have fond memories.
P.S. Back then busboys would take meat scraps and throw them out back, they have/had big windows on the back wall with floodlights and the coyotes would come eat the treats, fun to watch them but I guess that would be “politically incorrect ” these days!

About 15 years ago when my significant other and I went for the first time, the food was amazing.
We went back last year and the food was still amazing but with less options.
Last night we went there and ordered the Tomahawk since it was my 40th birthday and knew we would probably never order that again…we were extremely dissatisfied with what was brought to our table.
Sad to say; last night was the last time we’ll be going there.
The quality of the food that what was presented to us exceeded sub-par.
Steven had great customer service but it seems the kitchen was lacking; price did not equate to presentation and quality.
We won’t be going back.
