Food and service were excellent here. Jake and the busser (didn't get his name!) wearing black face mask, were both lovely. I was recommended the Bull's Eyes dish that was super tasty, except for the prosciutto part, which was extremely salty and inedible. We also ordered the Chicken Salad Sandwich and Caramelized French Toast, both which were phenomenal. Here are the deets of the dishes: "Bull's Eyes"Slow Roasted Eggplant. Sunny Side-Up EggsProsciutto, Tomato Sauce. Chili FlakesChimney Smoked Chicken Salad Sandwich Sultanas, Almonds, Watercress, CroissantCaramelized French ToastVanilla Cream, Orange Blossom, Honey.

Service was absolutely excellent, very attentive and absolutely spot on.The wine menu is substantial.Food was good. It's a great looking restaurant and well worth going to if you're staying at the hotel.

I have not been to A.R. Valentien in a number of years, so I decided to return this Sunday late morning at 11:00 a.m. I used to dine at the first booth with my Mother from time to time, When I arrived under the porte-cochere with the valets, they were busy attending to some departing guests. However, that soon was resolved and I was motioned over and my "chariot" was parked. The Craftsman interior lobby of the Lodge opens to a polished oval table topped by a Louis Comfort Tiffany-style hanging lamp. The bar is to the right. In the bar, is a beautiful tiled hearth topped by a decorative copper hood.Other than a few Champagnes, the entire wine list at A.R. Valentien is New World. From the list, I selected a Kistler "les Noisetiers" Chardonnay, from the Sonoma Valley. which I enjoyed. Service all around was pleasant. Nancy was kind and attentive. Mustafa from Morocco stopped by for a little chat, and Jack from the Bahia at the reception door of A.R. Valentien had a kind manner.

Excelente option for a romantic dinning date. Service and food were spectacular! We came from a different state and absolutely loved and would definitely come back!

We had dinner at A.R. VALENTIEN last month with my Family. It was such a wonderful time, the food and the service were outstanding. We had visitors out of town for Thanksgiving and my Wife checked in her friends here at their Lodge and treated them at AR VALENTIEN. And Everyone enjoyed their food and service. When I visited this place with my Family I had their Beef Prime Ribeye , it was very tender and juicy. And service we received from Willow was excellent. I like this place, delicious food and great staff , and its very relaxing, my kinda place to stick around and recommend this restaurant to others.

I actually ate here because I did not know where The Grill was (downstairs by the golf course pro shop) and I wanted a very good midwestern Niman Ranch cheeseburger although it is like $29. They were serving brunch at like 1pm on Sunday but obliged to serve me a cheeseburger that was not on the menu. Very good service. Nice patio with heat lamps overlooking the pool better than the interior which is a bit wooden and dated. Italian chocolate cake is good but I would not order it again. Fries good, they offer sweet potato fries too. The Grill has a $20shrimp cocktail I would like to try. Parking is free in the Lodge garage which is a bit tight and dimly lit. Seating comfortable. No music but fresh air for ambience.

Enjoyed a great brunch here during our stay on a recent trip. The pool was a lovely view and the weather was perfect. We had a great waitress who told us a little about the menu. I wish she had a few more details to share in terms of flavor profile and style of the dish, since the spaghetti bolognese wasn't what we were expecting (it was good, but had more of a sweet flavor and no marinara sauce). I loved their quiche. Also on the sweeter size with the seasonal veggies. Salad was too bitter and overdone with dressing. Loved their raspberry puree gin mocktail. The coffee cake was good but a little dry. Price point was around $130 (tax and 20% tip included) for two drinks (a mocktail and an ale, pasta dish, quiche, and coffee cake).

We enjoyed a warm Saturday evening seated outside, with a lovely view. Joshua provided exceptional service, attending to our table with great care. The food was delicious, making the entire experience delightful. We would return the next time we stay at the Lodge.

If you dine outside the views alone make it worth your while but often times a restaurant with a nice view lacks in service and or food. Not this place. We brought our 4 year old and 1 year old and they were accommodating and friendly. There's a comfy waiting area when waiting to be seated with soothing live music being performed. Great experience
