    Double Basil Hayden
    Daniel C.

    After driving 10+ hours, I was exhausted. It made sense to just eat in the resort. I could also get a couple drinks while waiting for our food so it was decided. When I walked in, I sat at the bar. The bartender took her time to help me but when she did, I was able to order a double Basil Hayden neat. I messaged Mink what's on their menu and waited for her reply on what to order. While waiting, she was talking up a storm with the couple sitting next to me. I had to flag her down each time I had a question or wanted to order something. She didn't check on me and even forgot to check on my question on if they offered hot cocoa. I had to remind her which was annoying because the place was not busy. Fortunately her coworker went out of her way to make it for Mink. 5 stars to her coworker and a star bump up for the overall experience. Mink and I decided to share a burger since we were still pretty full from lunch. We ordered their D.W.L. signature Burger medium well with everything on the side and fries extra crispy. The kitchen got the order out in no time and as ordered which impressed us. We thought the burger was ok but it wasn't blow your mind amazing. The fries were quite crispy and we were content with the meal. What I thought was odd was that the bartender gave me my bill when my food came out without asking me if I wanted the check. I also didn't ask for it but since she gave it to me, I decided to go back to the room. Guess I wasn't welcome there. Overall, 2.5 stars. Convenient but meh.

    We arrived here after a long day of driving and exploring. It was dark outside and we were frankly very excited to find a restuarant open in the resort. We ordered 2 fried chicken sandwiches with fries and a couple sodas. The service was very fast and friendly, the food was good and arrived quickly, and although it was way too cold to sit outside, it was one of the few restuarants in Arizona that actually allowed social distancing.

    Saw a lot of negative review of this place which was a little concerning at first. Since there weren't many restaurants in the area so we tried it out and we were thoroughly impressed. They have a nice indoor space that has waiter service and then you could also do a to go order and eat by the pool. We opted for the latter. For lunch I ordered the burger. It was good and came with fries that were crispy and tasted good. We liked this place enough to come back for dinner. I ordered the wedge salad, pork belly sliders, chicken sandwich and Nutella creme brûlée. All were delicious. The creme brûlée was the best! Also all the waiters & bar tenders were so nice!

    2 stars is about right. The food is very mediocre and add in the slow service you get 2 stars instead of 3. People mostly come here for the view and you definitely get a great view of Lake Powell. Fish and chips was very mediocre. It had that fresh out of the previously frozen box flavor. French fries were okay. Caesar salad was okay. Fairly straight forward and cooked well. Service was very slow. Waiter dropped off the dinner menu from the restaurant next door. We waited a bit for him to return and take our orders then he disappeared after dropping off the right menu. Didn't see him again for awhile, meanwhile we went without drinks for a good to 10-15 mins. Food arrived warm but he never came back to refill waters or ask if we needed anything else like another beer. I had to flag him down so we could pay our check and leave. Disappointing experience.

    Even with the remodeling of the hotel, the lounge is open during the Winter season with limited dining hours. The lounge was small yet pretty, was placed in the corner with a beautiful view of the outside firepit and super trendy, cool, retractable covering for those desert hot temperatures in the Summer to keep cool. The service was nice, ordered the hot wings which came with celery and carrots, not pricey.

Rainbow Room is located inside the Lake Powell Resort. It's right by the water. Parking is plentiful. We were greeted and seated right away by the window, which was perfect. We had a great view of the lake and red rock formations, but it seems like there's no bad view from any seat in the restaurant. Our server was friendly and quick to respond. We ordered the following items: Espresso martini $15 Lobster and Shrimp Ceviche $25 Shrimp Risotto $30 Porcini Mushroom Fettuccine $18 + chicken $7 10 oz NY Strip $45 Chocolate lava cheesecake Honestly, the food and drinks were 3/5. Nothing tasted bad, but nothing tasted amazing either. It was also a bit overpriced. However, the portions were generous which my teenager loved. We were able to watch the sunset and catch the start of the fireworks while at dinner. Highly recommend making a reservation around sunset if you're in the area!

    Walking into Birdhouse, a converted drive-through restaurant, at 6PM, we were greeted with a short…read moreline wrapping around the order counter. It moves pretty quickly since the menu, full of fried chicken and staple sides, isn't too complicated. Birdhouse is a counter service establishment so the food doesn't take very long at all to cook and assemble. In our case it took only about 10 minutes. Thigh + Leg, Original ($11) - Instead of the advertised thigh and leg, the meal came with 3 pieces of chicken - one leg and 2 thighs! It wasn't just us; I saw other customers also getting three pieces. Finally a restaurant that underpromises and overdelivers! The breading on the chicken is a really dark golden brown, initially making me assume it was overfried. Biting into the breading, a really strong crunch shatters on the teeth. It's a hard crunch vs. the crisp that a normal fried chicken skin exhibits. Perhaps they enhance the mixture with rice flour and evercrisp? It's really quite amazing especially with how thin the breading looks. Even with the dark color, the interior remains moist and juicy; in fact, upon my first bite, a stream of chicken juice shot up onto my glasses! The meat has clearly been brined as it's super flavorful, and there's plenty of salt and pepper mixed into the breading to add even more oomph. The fat is rendered nicely and everything is served piping hot. They really know what they are doing with their chicken! A meal comes with one side of which we went with the Seasoned Fries. These are crinkle cut fries sprinkled with seasoning salt. The fry level isn't the most even, with some pieces being a little more dried out, but most still having tender interiors. I'd probably go with a different side in the future. (5/5) Thigh + Leg, Honey Butter ($11) - I believe this is literally the same fried chicken but with honey butter melted over the top. It adds some richness and sweetness, but is otherwise the same excellent fried chicken. For the side with this meal, we went with the Broccoli Salad w/ Bacon. It's pieces of crunchy raw broccoli mixed with tiny pieces of bacon in a light creamy dressing with a bit of sweetness. (5/5) Birdhouse makes their sauces in house which they supply for most orders. The first is their special honey mustard which, as the name implies, is sweet and mustardy. The second is a buttermilk ranch, creamy and tangy. It's very fresh and seems to have fresh herbs mixed in. After several days eating bland (but very fresh!) food in the Navajo Nation, we finally had a meal with actual seasoning! We were impressed enough that we went back the next day to try the final chicken flavor. This time it was earlier at 5PM and for some reason the line was even longer! Yet it took less than 5 minutes for the food to arrive. Thigh + Leg, Spicy ($11) - The base chicken is the same texture and flavor as above. The only difference is a liberal dusting of cayenne pepper spice mixture on top. They don't use any hot oil, so it's only dry spice on the outside, applied right after frying so it all sticks on. The powder is spicy enough to heat up the mouth and lips, but isn't enough to get me sweating at all. I'd compare to something between mild and medium at a hot chicken shop. There's just a hint of sweetness in the mixture - I actually wished it was boosted up a bit more. Still great fried chicken though! (5/5) Birdhouse really serves some great fried chicken. Reasonably priced, delicious food, great portions, there's not much more I could ask for. It was so good that we ended up eating here both nights we stayed in Page! Bathrooms - Single unisex room outside on the back side of the restaurant.

    I took a short weekend trip to Page and we only had time for one meal. While Page isn't a huge…read moretown, a couple of spots were in contention. We decided on Gone West Family Restaurant based on their solid reviews and we thought that American food (especially with a Western theme) would be the way to go. When in Rome! We stopped by on a Saturday evening for dinner. Parking is easy in the complimentary lot they share with several other businesses including a Chinese restaurant right next door. Ambiance (4.5/5): Pretty much what I was hoping for. Gone West is a spacious restaurant with one large dining room and another large dining room. The difference? The one in the back has a stage where they play live music. So, if you want a quieter atmosphere, choose the first room. If you want to enjoy some live music while you dine and drink, choose the back room. We sat in the back room. A band played various covers while we were there which we enjoyed. The decor is also awesome with a lot of Western and country decor including John Wayne, Johnny Cash, and more. Service (4/5): The hostess was super nice and accommodating which was a nice way to kick off the experience. Our waiter was pretty solid. He could have stopped by a little more frequently, but overall, did quite well. Drinks (4/5): I went with an Arnold Palmer (they only had pink lemonade unfortunately) so not a lot to right home about. With that being said, they have a decent beer list and several cocktails. Food (5/5): I went with the Chicken fried steak sandwich with spiral fries. CFS on a sandwich?! I couldn't say no. Country fried steak is one of my favorite Southern dishes, but I've never had it on a sandwich before. Check out their concept: breaded steak on a bed of mashed potatoes topped with green onions, gravy, and a fried egg with your choice of side. This was a great sammie! It was quite messy, but given how delicious it was, I didn't mind. The fries were delicious too, and it was a generous portion. The type of portion where you can easily have leftovers. Everything I was hoping for and more in this dining experience. While the food options in Page aren't vast (and as impressive as larger cities), Gone West should be at the top of your list!

We shared calamari and we are calamari snobs. I wasn't expecting anything great but it really, really was. The crunchy (fresh?) batter was cooked perfectly crispy and the squid meat was not tough. They served it on top of sliced pepperocini, which we kept using throughout the meal. The sauce was delicious too. Now any chef/cook can have an off day, but if the oil is the right temp and they stick to a prescribed fry time, you should experience the same great result. My husband had the Reuben, and he is a Reuben snob. The thickly julienned corned beef made for a little bit of messy eating, but he said it was good. His sweet potato waffle fries were crisp and not too sweet. They stayed crisp throughout the meal. I believe these were frozen but they chose a great product to offer for one of their sides. No shame in a good, coated, crisp, frozen sweet potato waffle fry. I had the desert dipper (French dip to many of us.) It was topped with sauteed mushrooms and onions and the aus jus was really delicious. Not too salty and with a rich flavor without being oily. Again, a product which I would be shocked it if wasn't purchased, but they made a great choice! It doesn't rely on salt, which many chefs turn to to cover less-than-stellar food. My side was a side salad. Mixed mesclun lettuces (with the occasional wilted, icky looking leafs) that made either this batch of lettuce one day past it's prime or needed to be gone through a little closer. The salad was topped with a generous portion of very fresh cucumbers, carrot shreds, cherry tomatoes, cheese and croutons. I was pleased with the overall quality and presentation of that simple side salad. In our previous trip my husband had the quite-curated turkey sandwich and he said it was very good. I just had the truffle Parmesan fries which, like the waffle fries, were crispy and very good
