Mountain Creek | Fine Dining

Had brunch and dinner here with friends and family. The cocktails and food were tasty and creative due to the talent of a local chef and capable bartender. Lakelyn, Ally, and Heather were all friendly and professional servers that certainly added a nice touch to the experience.

5 stars for one of a kind setting. Desperately want this place to be a smash, and love to support and promote local. So disappointed. 1 star for tables, chairs and restaurant layout, 1.5 stars for food.Awesome evening, perfect spring weather. Ride ski lift type tram into the gorge. Spectacular view, floor to ceiling windows. Perfect start for a One of a kind evening not possible in the big city.

Enter through a deserted, unfurnished unsightly and messy bar area. (Such potential) At first I thought it might be closed for renovation. Mop streaked tile floors, highlighted by bright lights, sticky tabletop. Gone are table cloths or linens. Cheap, I mean ultra cheap uncomfortable chairs. Noise level for 2/3 empty place deafening. Conversation nearly impossible. Tables, layout and cleanliness reminds one of fast food court at a low class, failing mall.

Except.... Floor to high ceiling windows overlooking stream... spectacular! One of a kind breathtaking view.

Menu prices significant lower than prior chef.
Back to reality. Menu full of great sounding Signature smoked entrees. What arrived was dry, almost inedible. Left most of my entree. Extensive wine list, of which only 2 (1 red, 1 white) available. Full bar, but no bartender. Understaffed, completely inexperienced servers. Slow service despite small number of tables only partially full. Forgot meal 1 of the 4 at the table, did get a substitute entree out quickly.. Dirty dishes piled up on table next to us when we were seated, still there when we left. Ugh.

We brought a couple for a special treat. They were polite, we were embarrassed.

The food is pretty good and the service is full of nice people.
