We showed up a little after seven p.m. There were appr. two tables of 4 in the dining room. There were 4 waitstaff standing around talking to the hostess. I told her we wanted a table for two. She informs me that they have a table of 20 coming in so they are going to get busy and I need... More

5 out of 7 of our party, were violently I'll within hours of eating here. We think it was the oysters, however I don't think my chicken was quite done. I ended up in the ER die to excessive vomiting and dehydration. The nurse at the ER said they see lots of good poisoning cases from Wendell's. beware!

Very expensive for what you got. Got better food at Chilis for a 1/4 of the price. Staff were very good though.

I was looking forward to eating at this restaurant...when I got my bone in ribeye steak, it looked really good. On the first bite of the steak it was tasteless. There was absolutely no flavor/seasoning at all. Why spend $$$ on something that has absolutely no taste. My husband ordered the elk steak and it had no flavor whatsoever. We... More

I had the stuffed shrimp with crab and corn jalapeño custard. The custard was bland but the shrimp and crap were good. However the waitress forgot to bring our appetizers out. Even though the waitress offered to buy us dessert it was still unacceptable. Moreover, they were out of a lot of entrees specifically no chicken or salmon. Maybe next... More

The food and service were both excellent with a good choice of steaks and seafood. Our waiter was very attentive and the atmosphere was quit. The price was kind of high.

This is the second time that I have celebrated my birthday at Wendell's. The first time was 2 years ago. We had returned to the Inn of the Mountain Gods this year for my birthday, but I wasn't planning on splurging this time because we were on a tighter budget. My husband surprised me with dinner at Wendell's for my... More

Breakfast was good, however the service was a bit off. The server was very nice, but he actually looked like he was having a bad morning as we had to routinely ask for our coffee to be refilled and he'd disappear for several minutes at a time. We had a Spanish Omelet and the breakfast burrito which were both very... More

Five Star prices...Three Star returns. Good quality food. Nice presentation. Friendly service. Three couples split three entrees and three salads. If we'd just ordered separately and split them ourselves we'd have saved $24 in split plate charges.
