The coffee was fresh brewed and warmed the soul before heading out into the chilly mountain air.
The wine list was superb, like this Cabernet.
Couscous salad, grilled asparagus & sword fish
A simple desert of berries and raw sugar was the ideal post-meal palate cleanser.

We had a group of 10 and they were able to seat us as the last party of the night. Our server was amazing by telling us the history of the place and about each dish. The crab bisque was the best I've ever had and I recommend the chef specials. Will be back next time I'm in the area.

So the ambiance is amazing and a cute little romantic spot. Unfortunately the food is just ok but not complaint worthy but also not something I can recommend someone order. I had the snapper which was dry but edible. The Caesar salad tastes mostly like anchovies which was too much for me but my husband liked it. I also had the bisque which was the second best thing I had. The first was the espresso martini. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. Overall I would come back for drinks and maybe try dessert but unlikely for dinner.

Just had an excellent dinner at Helen's with my wife and 10 yo son. Not sure why there are so many negative reviews. Our food was excellent, from the crab bisque to the filets and the sea bass. We finished the night with 3 snickerdoodle crème brûlées. Everything was delicious and our server Kat was wonderful, super friendly. I feel bad that she had to climb the stairs. The setting is beautiful in the woods and the inside looks like an old log cabin. We took a shuttle from the hotel but did walk back after dinner. The meal is not cheap, but it was excellent and a great experience.

A beautiful place for a fancy/romantic dinner. The ambiance in a big rustic wooden house is so romantic and lovely. The food is delicious but the portions are small. I ordered their Soup de jour, Caesar salad, trout, and chocolate crème brûlée. All very tasty. The reasons behind the missing star: It took too long to give us our bills without any explanation, we asked for two separate checks and the waitress agreed but at the end told us they can only divide the price by half! Therefore, their service although fast and friendly while serving food, did not deserve more than three stars. Also it was a little bit overpriced. We enjoyed our visit but I cannot recommend this place without hesitation.

Absolute gem of a place. So nice and secluded in the woods, although a little hard to find. Service is top notch. Got my order almost instantaneously. And the food was incredible. I was most impressed with how every person I talked to was so friendly and helpful. The staff is attentive and respectful. Also the vibe of the restaurant is rustic elegance.

I enjoyed my dining experience. The best part was how great they take care of you on the way in & out. I loved the hostess. The food was great too. I was told by the waiter staff that they change their menu daily! I enjoyed my entree and dessert very much in addition to the ambience. The fireplaces throughout made it so cozy. And the dim lighting made the atmosphere very relaxing. They don't seem to make any accommodations to the menu either, just fyi incase you have picky eaters!

This restaurant is supposed to be a fine-dining establishment, but the only trace of "fine-dining" was the unreasonable price! The food was average, the drinks were just ok, and the service was slow and, at times, not-so-friendly. It took them 20 minutes to bring the check, and while we asked for split checks for two families, they split in the middle, which we could do ourselves! I had the crab bisque, which was good, and the shrimp and scallops that had a strange sauce resembling ketchup! And this meal was 43 dollars, which was not worth it unless it tasted great (and it didn't!). I don't recommend the place unless you want to impress someone by the amount you are paying for a pretty average dinner!

The food was horrible, not expected considering the outrageous price of the meal. However, the atmosphere and service was excellent. We stayed at hotel and several locals don't go there anymore because the quality of food is so bad. Tourist Trap!

We just completed our fourth visit to Helen's since 2020. The food and the service are fantastic. I believe it to be one of the finest dining establishments I've visited among many such establishments. We look forward to our next visit with anticipation. It's always a positive experience. Thank you to Rick and the other Helen's staff, it's a pleasure to see you every year.

Heard so many great things about Helen's - our experience was total opposite! Friends ordered (3) drinks took forever. Everyone in our party ordered Citrus Brined Chicken - before I order it, I asked the waitress what exactly do you get she said a breast and a leg - but when the dinners came out I was the only one who got both legs. I asked the waitress and her response was you're not guaranteed to get that - you get whatever they have in the kitchen?!?! What?!? This is supposed to be an upscale restaurant! Not so much! Very unprofessional! Also, what was supposed to be the citrus brined chicken was bbq chicken! Also, was jazz night - which was more like the piano man! Lol If I could leave 0 * I would, but have a 1 * because I had to. Would we visit again? Not likely.
