We stopped here for breakfast on our way out of town. The restaurant is quaint and the interior is tastefully decorated. Almost makes you feel as if you're sitting in a parlour room rather than a restaurant. The food was fabulous and I like that they had Gluten free options. I will definitely go back. More

From appetizers to dessert, this restaurant was amazing! My friend and I had a very lovely adult dinner. The unique menu provided interesting choices, and both the food and drinks thrilled us from beginning to end. The service was wonderful, and the atmosphere really topped off the experience. I would absolutely go again!!! More

It is amazing that this kind of restaurant exists in a small town like Golden. Its worth a visit just to see the custom woodwork inside. The location is excellent and the food is better than average. More

If you like lamb and you like burgers, this is the place to go! I had the most awesome lamb burger, I have ever tasted. It blew my taste buds into overdrive. This restaurant is located on an island in the Kicking Horse River in downtown Golden in a restored log house. The service and food are superb!! More

I loved this place and look forward to visiting again and trying other items on their menu (which was a very interesting/varied menu). The staff were very friendly, helpful, and fun. the Food was terrific. The ambience of this place was lovely. We chose to eat downstairs which was a very cosy, comfy, experience but next time we will try... More

This was one of the few restaurants in Golden that I hadn't tried (because of a bad rumour), but it was a fantastic experience! A log structure with a nicely done interior, with good service and a family-friendly policy. The food was nearly as good as Kicking Horse Grill or Cedar House, at a slightly more reasonable price.
