    Caesar salad
    Mona L.

    I wish I could give a better rating for an in-park restaurant, realizing their limitations to fresh and locally sourced foods. The Obsidian Dining room does not take reservations for dinner. It made it difficult to wait the one hour time frame we were given before they could seat us. What we chose to do instead was to zip over to the Old Faithful Lodge's cafeteria style dinner. This building is one of several venues in the Old Faithful Village not to be confused with the historic Old Faithful Inn but it was a walkable distance away unless you have mobility issues. Dinner was finished there and as we were heading back to the Snow Lodge our pager went off. We decided to go check it out and have a salad and maybe a dessert since those choices were pretty lacking at the cafeteria. The staff were very nice, I think they get a bit embarrassed by how long they have to tell people they need to wait for dinner. I had a post meal Caesar salad, my husband had the House salad and actually counted two pieces of cherry tomatoes, no other vegetables, just the two bitty tomatoes. The portions were small and covered with croutons. For dessert we tried their Vanilla Bean Creme Brûlée Cheesecake with a crispy baby oat crust. I did not see why they called it creme brûlée but I did taste the oat crust which was different. If you like interesting decor this dining room has some unique fixtures and the seating areas were spacious, with warm accents. The dining room was well appointed as was the rest of the lodge.

    I'm so glad we brought our own bottle of wine, as the wine selection, there was limited to nothing we would probably drink. The best part of the whole thing was there was no corkage fee for opening our bottle. We ordered the Bison Tartare, which my husband likes, but I did not at all. our second choice was the charcuterie tray, with four types of wild animal sausage. Only one of the four, but it's good, and it did not come with cheese or much else. There were three sauces, two of them were mustard, and they were OK. The absolutely worst thing that we ordered was fried elk ravioli. It was God awful. The service at the bar was fine, but I can't tell you about any of the drinks since we had our own wine. We did not eat anywhere at Yellowstone in the Old Faithful area, that was even a little good. it is really too sad as it is such a gorgeous area bring in a little better food and it be perfect.

    Bison short ribs with mashed potatoes and veggies

    See bison, eat bison Bison short ribs, 4.8/5!!!! Fall-off-the-bone tender, really good flavor, perfectly seasoned and paired with creamy mashed potatoes and steamed veggies! Very very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food, and felt like it was worth the price! ---------- Stayed in Snow Lodge last week and we got there around 9:30 pm looking for food. Saw that the Obsidian dining room was open until 10 pm, and that they had bison short ribs! We decided to bite the bullet as it was kind of expensive and the reviews for the restaurant weren't that good. We ordered at the entrance of the restaurant, and they gave us a buzzer and told is to go into the reception area to get our food. The employees were all wearing masks and gloves, and were super nice! We got 6 ribs total with mashed potatoes and a side of veggies, and 4 pairs of eyes watched as I took a bite, and at the first sign that it was delicious, promptly devoured the rest of the meal. Our consensus was 4.8/5! Delicious, but definitely on the pricey side, but this is top-notch gourmet food AT A NATIONAL PARK!!!! We would have gotten it again if time had allowed. Next time though!!

    Bison Tartare was fabulous. Wild game burger was juicy and cooked perfectly (not too gamey). Bison short rib was super lean and tender. Service was quick and friendly. Cider was limited selection, only cider on tap was not good.

    Delicious trout entree
    Leslie ..

    Ate here while visiting Yellowstone; the trout was absolutely delicious. No reservations accepted. We were 3rd in line when the restaurant opened and waited an hour to be seated. The restaurant is inside beautiful Snow Lodge so it was a lovely place to wait in.

    Mozzarella ravioli
    Seung H.

    We stayed at Old Faithful for three nights, so we were stuck with this restaurant for three days, totals six meals. The food here is very inconsistent and generally mediocre at best. At worst, we choked down food because we had nowhere else to go. We ordered the French onion soup and the sweet potato appetizer twice, one time the soup was really good and the sweet potato was super dry, the other time the soup was not warm enough and the sweet potato was excellent. We had pork osso buco, pork chop, bison burger, mozarella ravioli, and salmon tostada for the main course. The pork chop and salmon were way overcooked - we think that they cooked them long time ago and left them in the warmer for five hours. Otherwise they can't be so dry like that. I couldn't eat the salmon edges because they were too dry, my knife won't work. The bison burger was thoroughly cooked on one half and pink on the other. The ravioli wasnt fully cooked and came in a soup broth. Everything we tried had something obviously wrong with it. On the third day, we really didn't want to eat any of their food but no choice. This monopoly makes the food quality worse. We loved Yellowstone but couldn't imagine staying another moment because of the food here! Breakfast buffet was ok, nothing special. We also tried their omelettes, which were ok. The simpler things were better, bit even those things weren't consistently good. We never found anything we liked after dining here 6 times. Service can be slow, inattentive and forgetful but staff are friendly. We had to make reservations for dinner three months ago. On the third day when we wanted to eat earlier than 8pm, they won't let us get in early because they were so booked. So, make sure you make reservations four months before you get here, or just bring your own food, which we will do next time.

    My friend chose this place for dinner on our last night at Yellowstone and I gotta hand it to him for choosing a great place! Located in the Snow Lodge in the Old Faithful area, the Obsidian dining room is one of the nicer dining options available in Yellowstone. We were quickly seated and it was almost a full house at 7PM. They give you free bread and butter along with these awesome crackers spotted with herbs and seeds. Game sausage sampler came with 3: wild boar sausage with cranberries, smoked bison bratwurst, pheasant and chicken sausage. My favorite was the boar, being juicy and slightly sweet followed by he bison. The pheasant and chicken was a bit boring to me, but my friend enjoyed it saying pheasant is normally dry and this wasn't. I loved the braised red cabbage the sausages sat on and we both agreed the whole grain mustard was bomb. Polenta fritter itself was disappointing - hardly any taste of the garlic/onion and it was mushy sitting underneath the portobello and other veggies. It was kind of hard to cut up and eat, but I still l enjoyed it overall. Would probably pass on this. Bison short ribs were the star of the show! My friend is a great cook and it is VERY rare to hear him give a compliment on food. You could see the excitement in his face when he pressed his fork into the bison and it gave way like nothing. "Amazing" were his first words and after trying a bite, I had to agree. Perfectly cooked! We ended the night with a huckleberry white chocolate cheesecake and made it a la mode. I'd definitely pass on this as it tasted like it was refrigerated for way too long - I'll have to give their boozy dessert drinks a shot next time instead. Overall, solid but pricey food ($80 for the two of us), with quite a few options for game meat if you want to be adventurous. Service was good - water took a while to be refilled at times, but the food came out quickly and timely. Those short ribs alone are reason enough to come back!

The wagon ride was pretty cool, our driver and host were entertaining, and we were allowed to visit with the horses for a bit too. So what's my beef? THE BEEF! The steak was very inconsistent and mine was awful...twice! I asked for medium and it was well done....twice. Dry and tough and half of it was straight up fat. My friend, on her second round, got a steak that was so marbled it looked like A5 wagyu! She was so full by then she couldn't finish. Her son wouldn't let it go to waste and took one for the team and gobbled it up. I looked on enviously the entire time. Most of sides and dessert were meh. The one exception was the Roosevelt beans that were the BOMB! I don't even like beans, but these were fantastic. Many in our party also commented favorably on them. Nice they gave us the recipe! At almost $75/pp for adult, this is a pricy! If you do this, go for the experience and not the food! Food: 1.5/5 Excursion: 3/5 _____________ * OK, so that might not be a lie. It might be the best food in Yellowstone, but that's only because the other food options suck too! We sampled many throughout the park on our first trip years ago and brought most of our food in this time because we knew we weren't missing out on anything.

Before ordering the scallops, I asked the water if the scallops were good, that I don't like poor scallops. He confirmed they were 3 large scallops, that the scallop dish had improved. In fact, the woman seating us said the same thing when I asked her, that the scallops had improved over past days. Instead, I received 4 scallops that ranged in size from medium, to medium small, to small, to very small. I tried the small scallop and it was very overcooked and rubbery. The waiter agreed the dish was unacceptable and exchanged it for the eggplant dish. So both my partner and I had the eggplant dish. The eggplant was mushy through the majority of it, but not on the edges. Mediocre quality. The gumbo soup was quite good. The onion soup was passable as it had little broth given the quantity of onions and almost no bread. In short, we expected much higher quality main courses at the dining room and it was poor quality. The waiter apologized and offered excuses of supply issues, being open only about a week, and power failures. But we believe the dining room has a captive audience and so does not focus on quality, which is very disappointing. My partner discussed our very poor quality (aka horrible) meals with his friend who stayed in Yellowstone last year. His friends ate at the dining room and also said the food was terrible.

The Lake Hotel Dinning Room management must not reading the reviews or realize how land locked people are in their dining options. They have over a year of historical write ups that are pretty consistent and spot to critical areas they need to improve on, but are concerned with fixing them. Their Yelp rating is elevated per miss grading, or unrelated activities...example: a person gave the restaurant a 5 star rating for finding their wallet. As always I try to provide a fair and balanced review to give people what they should expect based on my personal experience and the restaurants potential challenges that may create some credit for shortcomings. In the Lake Hotel Dinning Room's situation the only breaks I can throw them is seasonal timing , limited access to experienced staff or limited funds being run by a government subcontractor, all are stretches as they are selling and pricing themselves for something they are not providing. Pricing is expensive and at this level you should be pampered and not pushed by the staff. We spent $177 for 3 people and two of us split a meal. We each had 1 alcoholic drink. Food, as many people have stated, the shrimp and grits were excellent and I recommend them. Our first basket of dinner rolls were still frozen and replaced with still cold in the middle rolls. We split the Halibut, which was actually Seas Bass (no price adjustment). Fish was cooked good, but the Kale had not been massaged and was rough and bristled. We waited for a dessert menu for over 10 minutes, so did not order any to report on. Service and ambiance. Service was poor, our waitress was attentive at first then disappeared for long periods of time. It took us over 12 minutes to get our bill and pay it. The main course came out within minutes of the salads being delivered, which at this level of dining should never happen unless requested. The old dining hall itself was nice and felt historically fun. Summary, I do not recommend this restaurant, unless you really want an old time dinner feel with a great view of the lake.

    Splashes of good things, but overall a 3 star location…read more I'll just start off with the best thing I experienced here - the huckleberry soda. I mean it's WY. If you haven't had a huckleberry thing yet, give it a go. It's unique, and something my group and I found delightful. Things go a bit south from here. The restaurant is either sit down for food (not ice cream) or to go. We were famished by the time we finished our exploration of the geysers, so we were ready to eat anything. The restaurant flags all the healthy/environmentally friendly options which turns out which doesn't leave a lot of options. For some reason, we all thought we'd try to "help the planet" by going for their more limited options, but man was I filled with regret. I got the black bean burger, and the patty would not hold. It kept falling to pieces while I was holding the patty up. I mean if it can't even hold it's shape, offer it up as a bowl. What's the point of serving it as a burger? My friends had better luck and their food was pretty good. I think the saving grace for all of us was the soda. The service was poor. For example, one friend asked for cheese on the side to dip her fries in. She was served cheese fries with the fries coated in fries. We ordered ice cream after our food. While we were still working on the remnants of our plates, the server just took the plates asking if we were ready to leave. Like cool. You just want us to leave. I get that it was a restaurant, but I was close to not wanting to leave a tip at all.

    We really enjoyed this stop in the Old Faithful area, even though we did eat or buy anything. If…read moreyou're a history buff like me, the architecture and history of this building will delight you. It really feels like the sister building to the Old Faithful Inn with all the rustic beauty and charm inherent in architect Reamer's interpretation of Western American log structures.
