The Restaurant

It is one of my favorite restaurants...great!! Siobhan, the chef, was formerly a partner and chef at Mise EN Place, my number 1 favorite. She's doing a fabulous job at The Restaurant. The ambience and service are also wonderful. Terri, her former business partner, is now the sole owner and chef at Mise En Place and continues to keep the restaurant the "jewel" of the Lakes Region.

Had dinner at The Restaurant last night. Thee have been some menu changes under Siobhan's direction and all are wonderful. The place was full by 7 PM and this on a Tuesday in April!!! What will we do when the tourists come!! Wish they took reservations for groups smaller than five!!

We went last Friday night with friends. All four of us we thrilled with our choices. Delicious!

As posted above, the place was packed.

I'm sure they are getting some overflow resulting from Garwoods being closed. But they are always busy even when G's is open.

Wish Garwoods would make some changes to their menu and moderate their prices, but I guess that's unlikely after the BIG renovation!

I went last night and was not impressed with the hamburger. I ordered a small and it was over cooked. They took it back but the new one was only slightly better than McD's. My friend had the pork and that was good.

That's surprising. Their burgers are raved about by the locals. Everyone thinks they are the best around. I don't eat burgers, so I don't know first hand, but my husband loves them.

I agree with Barbara, their hamburgers are great: large, juicy and flavorful. Are you sure you were at The Restaurant and not just a restaurant?

I love The Restaurant, but I have to say the burgers didn't really impress me. I don't care for the buns, which seem like a slightly fancy version of a regular grocery bun. I'd prefer a kaiser roll or something else with some body to it.

It must be the incredibly creative name that attracts the crowds.

Great place to visit, food is Awesome, just sold said one time that it put him in the hospital, just for trying to over indulge. Stay safe all of you friends as the countdown is very much alive, and among us.

OH, my microwave ovens bell just went off, so I must leave you for an vegetable dinner... Looking forward to seeing you all on the flip side, one day.

in the last week, I've had dinner once and lunch twice at The Restaurant. It has gotten better and better. The menu has been tweaked since Shiobhan has become the chef, all to the good. Specials show her very creative talents. Everything I always have there is great. The grilled flatbread I had yesterday was exceptional. I'll get it again the next time I'm there. Once the tourists are here in full force, it's going to be tough getting a seat at The Restaurant!!!

Went to lunch today. wife had the quiche and she tought it was great. I had fish taco and flavors were also great only concern was the taco shell was hard and flat so I had to try to eat with a fork and knife. We sat outside and there was a guitar player . Overall was very good and will be back
