75$ without tip for: 2 sodas fish & chips and cheese steak with fries + French onion soup and seafood bisque is pricey
We had a wonderful experience at Thunderhead Lodge a week before Christmas
It was a blustery winter day. We were warmly welcomed and seated near their cozy fireplace. Robbie and Jordon were most pleasant and accommodating.
The food was absolutely delicious from our drinks thru dessert. The farm to table homemade fare added to the rustic cozy atmosphere and experience. What a treat to sit back, relax, enjoy the company and conversation of friends, Christmas music in the background and most importantly incredible flavor to savor.
Thunderhead Lodge is truly a gem of a place. I would highly recommend your checking it out. It offers delectable food and so much more – year round! Will certainly be going back!
, sprouts and soups ….To the fish entrees and carrot cake for dessert …. excellent!!
Our first time trying this place and I was very happy we chose the lodge. Can’t wait to try it again! Service was great, staff very friendly and made you feel very welcome. It’s a don’t miss!
The appetizers arrived fairly quickly. We ordered the mozzarella wedges, that left a lot to be desired flavor wise (The breading can definitely use some more seasoning) And Brussel sprouts which had decent flavor and seasoning, but the serving we received was a little inconsistent between having crispy edges and being completely mushy (also they were served cooler, temperature wise than I would have expected. The entrées followed promptly. My fiancé’s pasta dish was hot, flavorful, and impressively portioned. My entrée, on the other hand, was a different story.
I ordered the filet, which was served with a (fine dining sized) portion of mashed potatoes, a vegetable medley, and a burgundy mushroom shallot sauce. Sadly, the potatoes were bland, stiff, dry, and cold, the vegetable portion was also barely room temperature. The burgundy mushroom shallot sauce was barely lukewarm at best and had the consistency of congealed and fatty chocolate rice pudding
Our server noticed right away that something wasn’t right and immediately sent the plate back to the kitchen—which I genuinely appreciated. The second plate came out quickly, and while the vegetables were warmer, the mashed potatoes were still inconsistent: only half the portion was slightly warm, likely from being plated under the vegetables, while the rest remained cool. I tried a bite of my steak and was disappointed in not only the lack of seasoning / flavor but the temperature of the filet was not only under cooked (came out Med Rare / closer to rare and i ordered Medium ) but at this point cold.
*I do understand that fillet can be difficult to get exact temperatures right sometimes because the steak is such a thick cut of meat. Also i realize that technically, I didn’t catch that it was undercooked the first time because I didn’t get a chance to try it yet, so the kitchen didn’t get an opportunity to fix it (which understandably, I cannot hold against them)
Shortly after i received my remade meal, someone who appeared to be the manager (later identified by our server as the owner) came over to ask if everything was okay. I explained that while the vegetables were a bit better, the potatoes were still not warm, and the steak was undercooked and now cold. I mentioned I’d just like to take it home at this point but thanked her for coming over to check on us.
Instead of apologizing, the owner condescendingly replied, “Well, I was back there while the mashed potatoes were being plated the second time, and I had a spoonful myself and thought they were warm… maybe we just don’t serve them as warm as you would like,” before walking away, saying nothing else. Both myself and my fiancé just stared at each other in disbelief that that is what came out of this woman’s mouth and how she approached the situation.
I’m far from someone who complains or sends food back, but when paying $40 for an entrée in an establishment that states “Our goal is to provide you with excellent quality food, drinks, and service – every time” I would hope for food that’s fairly portioned, fresh, and served hot. More importantly, I wouldn’t expect to be gaslit by the owner into thinking my expectations for quality or temperature were the problem, rather than the quality of the food i received .
This review is no reflection on the wait staff or bartender, who were extremely kind, attentive, and professional throughout our visit this evening. I feel bad that this experience reflects poorly due to something entirely out of their control. But after two disappointing visits in a row, I think it’s safe to say there won’t be a third.
