Highly recommended making a reservation.
This place could probably get by on location alone, the views of the lake and mountains are incredible and complemented by the rustic, warm interior and some soft jazz. But they’ve gone beyond to provide a quality dining experience. The service, food, and wine, were all exceptional 5/5. We started with the poke which was fresh and delicious. Followed by halibut for him and ravioli for me, both were beautifully presented and very good. The only thing that could be improved upon was our dessert. The bread pudding was a burnt to the point of bitterness on the bottom, so 3/5. Honestly, it could be that the rest of the meal was so enjoyable that the dessert came off as just meh. In any event, we are definitely looking forward to dining in this family run establishment again. The ribs looked amazing!

Excellent on all standards. Great French in the altitude. CLR would compete with the best restaurants in a big metropolis but fortunately offers an oasis of incredible food experience in the isolated wilderness of Kirkwood.

Went there without a reservation but the owner got us a table. Service was great from our waiter, Thomas. The food was outstanding. Big portions and so delicious. The views from our table were incredible. And I got a magnet for my collection. This place is a must go to during the summer season.

Caples Lake Restaurant and Lounge has been renovated inside and it is absolutely beautiful! The lounge serves salads, appetizers, and hamburgers. Our Charcuterie board was delicious. The view over the lake is breath taking! Next visit will be to try the restaurant!

We went twice. Tried to call for reservation for thurs night, phone wasn’t answered so we go at 5pm to see if there are any seats for dinner. They had none but offered us lounge seating which was fine, except the service. We didn’t even get waters refilled. Just the check.
Made a reservation for the next night as nothing else is opened nearby in Oct and were hoping to try a bigger menu selection. The specials included “crab stuffed trout” which my son and i immediately were excited to order as we love seafood. When the meal came out it was just fish stuffed with rice. I asked the server where the crab was and he said “no, there’s no crab, just rice. Hope it still tastes good” and that was it. I asked the hostess for the specials menu again because how did we both read “Crab stuffed” wrong. Sure enough that’s what the menu says. She takes it back to the kitchen and says it must be a misprint “sorry”. I would think they would offer to change the bill or offer dessert or something. Disappointed both times sadly. Food did taste good but for the price we didn’t even get the seafood we were supposed to, very upsetting.

Burger is awesome – 5star
The brussel with pork belly was amazingly satisfying with the first few bites, but was a bit too oily and salty to finish the whole bowl – 4 star
The cheese/salmon plat is good as expected – 3 star
Overall love the place, great for late afternoon lunch after a ski day! I hope the chef can make the brussel and pork belly less oily / salty, or match some brother vegi with the dish.

We had no clue what to expect but everything was amazing! The food exceeded our expectations, we had the Cesar salad, mushroom ravioli, burger, and cherry bread pudding and it was all delicious. The view of the lake and mountains are beautiful and they had attentive service too.

First off, WOW. What an amazing experience. Sunset, lake, wildlife, and fantastic food. We had the mushroom raviolis, CLR burger, rack of lamb, and Ceasar salad with salmon. 20 out 10! Stacy is by far the best hidden gem in the mountains, she is so kind and attentive! If you get the chance to dine here, do not pass it up!

I agree with other reviewers: the views were beautiful, the food was not just good, it was VERY good, and the service was wonderful. Thomas, Jasper and colleagues made us feel incredibly welcome. The halibut was not only delicious but plentiful. Eating dinner here was a real highlight.
