We dined at Osage last Sunday for brunch with a view and it did not disappoint. The Cedar Lodge property is well maintained and beautifully landscaped. We arrived a bit early for our 10am reservation and enjoyed the scenery while waiting. I also enjoyed the interior decor that included Native American artwork and artifacts. Large windows framed the view and added so much to making our dining experience bright and uplifting. The staff were very nice and professional but we were a little confused about a wait after check-in despite having a reservation. I think maybe they were staggering arrivals to manage the buffet crowd... if that was indeed the case, a quick explanation would have been helpful. Overall it was a lovely experience. read more

We chose Osage to celebrate my daughter's 19th birthday and unfortunately the experience did not meet expectations. When making our 8:00 PM reservation in the Atrium, we were required to pay a $500 deposit. We arrived on time but were not seated until nearly 9:00 PM. One of the main reasons we reserved the Atrium was to enjoy the sunset views, but because our table was not ready, we completely missed the sunset. Once seated, the service remained very slow, and our food arrived only lukewarm. For a restaurant with Osage's reputation and pricing, we expected much better execution and attention to timing. The bright spot of the evening was our server, Christian. He was cheerful, professional, and thorough in explaining the menu and answering our questions. His positive attitude helped make the best of a disappointing situation. Overall, I would not recommend reserving the Atrium if your dining experience depends on being seated at your reservation time. Based on our experience, there appeared to be no guarantee of timely seating or food quality despite the substantial deposit requirement read more

The Atmosphere was clam, relaxing not to loud on ambient background noise but a little loud enough you could not make out the music or anything being played but not overly so. The staff were friendly, our server was educational on the items and wines very pleasant they did become to busy to check in properly with us which slowed our check request and request to leave an additional 20 minute's but we enjoyed our time in conversation about what we ate at dinner again no fault of our waiter he sent another waiter to check in on us since he could get back to us till later. Now for the food - We ordered the maple glazed salmon. The 22oz ribeyes with 2 lb lobster tail as well as a side of truffle mushrooms paired with wine. The steak was perfectly tender and cooked medium rare, the lobster was succulent, with rich buttery flavor and tenderness. The salmon was cooked juicy not over done and tenderness to show it was light flaky how a plave know for food and presentation perfectly owned their reputation on one first time visit. The mushrooms were amazing we were so full we could not even order dessert just so full. Over all beautiful scenery and it was a hidden gem I was greatful to see and take time to enjoy a meal with. 10 out of 10 food. 10 out of 10 atmosphere. 7 out of 10 noise level. 8 out of 10 service. Over all 4 out of 5 stars becasue they could improve some aspects on my opinion but if the service required searching for a waiter or waiting to be check up on then it could have been 5 stars. read more

Don't skip Osage! It was very tasty food and the views were great. You can request the atrium when you make your reservation and if they aren't too busy you won't have to pay the hefty fee to sit there. We had a great time and enjoyed the sunset ceremony after! The bison meatballs were delish, also the bread service was awesome. read more

We reserved a table for 8. The sunset activities were amazing and enjoyed by all. The sides and salads were very good, the brussel sprouts and lobster Mac and cheese were excellent. All steaks were great except the 22 oz ribeyes, the meat was full of gristle and very difficult to cut, flavor was bland and barely warm. Steak at this price should be prime beef, this steak was closer to choice grade. Very disappointing as 3 in our group ordered ribeyes. read more

This restaurant is beautiful and it knows it. I made a reservation as a guest of the hotel for our first night here and was easily able to have the concierge change it when we realized we needed a bit more time to get ready after driving from the lake and checking into our room. When we arrived we did not have to wait and were easily accommodated with our request for a room by the windows with a view. Our server was excellent and very efficient, professional and friendly. He took wonderful care of us and did not rush us at all. We tried a filet, the Brussel sprouts and a wedge salad. We also ordered my daughter a pizza from their children's options which came as a huge and delicious flat bread that we both thought was wonderful. We walked around and enjoyed the view, visited the Buffalo Bar, and took some photos all while waiting for our food. Our server said it happens all the time so he paced the meal and waited to bring the fresh bread until we returned from the view so it was hot and warm. Food was delicious - service was excellent, and the view is stunning. It is aptly named bc you are on the top of the rock with a view for miles and miles of Table Rock Lake. read more

Osage is located in Top of the Rock, which is a gated area near Branson. There is a charge to enter and if you choose to not use the shuttles, there is an additional fee for parking near the restaurant as well. The grounds and view from the restaurant are truly spectacular. Rolling hills and canyons. Details in design are paid attention to here and that shows. Overall, the food was good but not totally outstanding. My favorite was the beet salad. I would recommend the steak too, but the short rib was tough and over powered by the apple cider vinegar it was marinated in. The sides were solid, typical steakhouse style- buttery corn and roasted Brussel sprouts. Washing this dinner down with $24 Old Fashions was steep (if you want them smoked there's an additional $4 charge) and caused us to imbibe in 1 drink each. The kids meals were good with standard options including chicken tenders, but I'd pass on the surprise sundae. It wasn't very exciting--- the surprise was whipped cream on top. Maybe just call it a sundae. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Consider booking a table by the window to take in the view and ordering the beet salad. read more

We wanted to take my mom out for a nice dinner for her 60th birthday while in Branson. We were so disappointed. First the service was horrible. The waiter would leave water glasses empty for extended periods of time. He took quite awhile to bring the wine & other beverages. He would seem very put out if we needed anything & rarely checked in on us. Food was terrible. The potatoes were cold, the lobster bisque was embarrassing (it was watered down & unseasoned. No bisque, more broth-like), salads had too much dressing, & overall most of our party were unhappy with the quality of food. My mom's 60th should have been special but it was a restaurant nightmare. (Also, no recognition of her birthday even though I said it when making the reservation AND reminded our waiter). This place is pricey & ambience is Missouri chic, but don't waste your time. read more

Service was excellent our server, Lindsey, was knowledgeable and had great suggestions. She knew we were interested in a leisurely dinner and so she didn't rush us. She put in our food choices spaced out so we had plenty of time to enjoy our wine and relax. Food was top-notch as always. Tried the pasta and pork chop this visit. They did not disappoint! Make sure your reservation allows you to watch the Sunset ceremony, which is beautiful. Don't rush your visit. Enjoy every minute! read more

We had our 17th anniversary dinner here recently. We went early so we could enjoy the sunset celebration. A great westward view with bagpipes playing and a cannon firing as the sun dips below the distance horizon. We started with a drink in the bar, then moved to the dining room. The grilled artichoke appetizer was fantastic, I highly recommend it. My wife enjoyed her entree of sea bass and my steak was cooked perfectly. It was an enjoyable un-rushed evening for us. We look forward to returning soon read more

This entire restaurant/bar/shuttle situation at Osage,Top of The Rock is so unorganized and chaotic- The "nice dinner/upper scale" part was a total let down. Made reservations months in advance because we're on a road trip and requested table with a view, we got seated behind the only obstruction in the place (big fire place) Ordered their birthday cake for a friend and they couldn't be bothered to clean the table prior to it being brought out. Food wasn't terrible, but the service was so far below what you would expect when paying the amount it costs to eat here. We couldn't even finish appetizers before they were bringing out dinner then to add to the rushed feeling, the waiter tossed boxes on the table for us to bag up our leftovers. It wasn't even close to an elevated experience. Wouldn't recommend if you're celebrating a birthday or something of that nature. read more

Osage Restaurant - The shuttle service was super unorganized - Seafood Near Me - Ridgedale, Missouri

Fantastic views and excellent food and service! We celebrated a belated Mother's Day for my wife and my mom, as well as the birthday of our (now) 8 year old son! We ate brunch on Sunday. The buffet was excellent with a large variety of charcuterie, fresh fruits/granola/yogurt, seafood, breakfast favorites - some with a twist and some other excellent brunch/entree items. They had a crepe station and omlet station too. Pricey - yet quite a wonderful spread to choose from with great service in a clean, comfortable environment with gorgeous views and fantastic native artwork and artifacts to add to the aesthetic. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our 34th wedding anniversary dinner of steak, brusselsprouts, mushrooms and scallops. The service was fabulous (ask for the waitperson from Ukraine). The ambiance was magnificent. Be sure to sit by a window to watch the sun go down. It is a bit pricey, but for a special occasion, easily justified! Maybe next year for our 35th! read more

We didn't have a ton of options for food on top of the rock, so settled in here to eat. I know it's Holiday weekend, but at 58 dollars an adult plate, you would think that they could keep the food stocked up? My 5 year old didn't like anything... the only thing she ate was the waffles... and they were empty. The black berries were mushy (so she wouldn't eat that either) the only thing I ate was Cesar salad and my husband said the eggs didn't taste well either. The best thing about this meal was the dessert. I will say that when I asked for suggestions about what kids eat, they didn't recommend anything... but did end up removing the cost of my daughter's meal... because she didn't eat. I would have appreciated more kid friendly food options... especially when it's one of two options... although I never actually saw the other option. read more

Very cool experience sitting in the Osage. We got to sit in the room with all the windows! The food was really good and the wait staff were helpful and professional. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants. We look forward to coming here every year after we pick our kids up from camp. I made a reservation a week prior without issue and we were seated in the Atrium by the windows. Our server, Inee, was lovely and attentive. We ordered the Spinach dip (always a favorite), the lamb (cooked perfectly), the lobster mac and cheese (my son is obsessed), the lobster bisque, the elk soup, and a Caesar salad (you have to keep the anchovies!). The bread service is always so delicious- their butter can't be beat. We also were surprised with a birthday 'sundae' for our son's 11th birthday, plus an extra serving of butter cake for the adults. Watching the sun go down over the lake with a glass of wine and their amazing food comes at a premium, it's quite expensive. However, there is nothing I look forward to more every year and I do think the overall experience is completely worth it. read more

Zachary who provided our table service was superb! He knew the menu, made excellent dinner menu suggestions and aside from the great service, he was very engaging throughout the evening...OVERALL EXPERIENCE WAS GREAT!! read more

I live in LA and the Birria Quesotacos here are LA-level good. Dipping taco bites into the consommé is a shockingly authentic flavor for being in a high-end golf resort restaurant in the Ozarks - savory, rich, and so flavorful. Hats off to the chef! read more

Pianist and singer was very good. Food and drinks were excellent. Very fun place to have a nice meal. Ambiance is great.

We were walk in's so needed to go to the lower level to done. We were greeted right away and no one was in line and it still took a hard 10 minutes for them to decide where to seat us. Wait staff was ok but nothing exceptional. I had a bourbon flight which was very good but the pours were quite light. And nearly sips. Everything is ala cart here, so the cost is higher. I had white fish which was extremely good. My wife had fried chicken and daughter had ravioli which were also good. The ambience is truly delightful with all kinds of decorations and a full sized bison. Very nicely appointed. read more

Imee, our waitress was excellent, she made great suggestions. We loved the spinach dip which was delicious. My granddaughter got the lobster which was outstanding, the steak filet was tender & flavor full. Also enjoyed the Caesar salad. I would definitely recommend for special occasions. read more

Let me tell you -- Osage Restaurant at Top of the Rock is not your average "birthday dinner." It's more like "someone cue the cinematic soundtrack because we're living in a resort commercial" kind of night. We came for my mom's 85th birthday, and she was absolutely glowing -- living her best life like it was her own red-carpet premiere. The staff treated her like VIP royalty -- I half expected them to roll out a red carpet and start a slow clap. Then came the moment -- that iconic sunset view over Table Rock Lake, paired with a live serenade by the bagpipes. Absolute masterpiece. The kind of goosebump-inducing, tear-in-your-eye moment that makes you forget every dinner you've ever had before this one. The food? Immaculate. The atrium? So stunning I forgot to check my phone (which says a lot). If you're lucky enough to snag a table here, consider it divine intervention. We'll be talking about this one forever. Thank you, Osage -- you nailed it. read more

While visiting Branson my family took the golf cart tour and had a beautiful sunset dinner at The Osage. The aged filet was the best steak I have ever had! The bag pipe and canon ceremony were a special treat. read more

The ambiance and customer service was absolutely amazing at the Osage Restaurant! We parked in free parking (after we paid a $10 park entry fee), and then rode the shuttle to the Osage restaurant. The food was good, but for the price I expected more. There are plenty of options (prime rib, omelettes, chicken and waffles, etc) but the quality of the food was average. Not sure I'd rather for the price. read more

Osage Restaurant - Buffet Items - Seafood Near Me - Ridgedale, Missouri

Big Cedar Lodge has a few options for dinning, including bars, grills, a fine lounge, and this Osage Restaurant, at Top of the Rock, and very next to The End of the Trail, a sculpture by James Earle Fraser, at Infinity Pool. The whole accommodations area is some kind of old and luxury resort, while such high-end (expensive) restaurant is definitely part of the experience. It would be wise to reserve an earlier dinner (before the sunset), and then to explore Chapel of the Ozarks and watch an on-site show. Other than surrounding activities and resort itself, the menu is typical and should not be any disappointment with the food and services. read more

The Thanksgiving day buffet was truly forgettable! The desserts were great, but the rest not...and the food stations were scattered out all over and we didn't even find one of them until we were leaving. Service was so-so they make you pre-pay so everybody got their tip ahead of time. We spent $260 for two people (without drinks) and should have just gotten takeout from Cracker Barrel. At least then we would've had leftovers! read more

We went for the buffet. They often ran out of items that were not quickly replaced. The staff was very nice, but the food was really, really bad. I hate to say that, but it was all bad except the desserts. For the price, you would expect better. Even acceptable, but no. I ate little, said nothing, and left. It didn't help that the guy carving kept a constant rambling dialogue about the "O.G.". Stop that, and serve the food. The buffet arrangement has no real flow, and people were running into each other, going different directions. Maybe just not have a buffet. At least not there. read more

The views were STUNNING. I felt like I was in a High School Musical movie as we were so high up. Lots of options for the buffet lunch as well. My faves had to be the beef skewers (perfectly cooked), berry french toast with the yogurt dressing & olives! The shrimp cocktails (not pictured) were also fresh.

Able to make a reservation on short notice! You can valet park for $15 or self park and take a shuttle. Note the shuttle can be crowded and warm. Know there is a Fee to get onto the complex, $10 per car. We arrived at the restaurant and there is indoor and outdoor seating. The views are amazing. The service is good. We had to wait a few minutes for the table. Ordering was easy, fast. Drink and wine options, soda. Started with the shrimp cocktail. Shrimp was fresh. Clean. The cocktail sauce was unique, more on the ketchup side. The filet was tasty. Good seasoning, a bit of sauce. More sauce would've been better. Butter on top. The steak was slightly over temp but ok. The onions on the side were good too. The sides were great. The potatoes were crispy and tasty. My favorite. The Brussels had a nice sauce and were also very good. The asparagus were fine. The blueberry lemon gooey butter cake with vanilla ice cream was a winner. I'm a fan of gooey butter and this was delish. Highly recommend. After dinner, take a walk around the grounds. Amazing views. The food was good. The dessert was my fav. The sides were my second fav. Recommend. read more

So we were in town for a concert and decided to spurge and go to Osage Restaurant's Sunday Brunch. You need to know that you will pay $10 to enter Top of the Rock. Then you can either stop at the Visitor Center and catch a shuttle for free or park there and pay $27 to Valet Park. There is no free parking. The building and restaurant are gorgeous and the view spectacular. The service is wonderful and the wait staff were the best I have had in a long while. They were attentive our needs and fully on point. We were treated like kings and queens. Loved the service. There are lots of amazing choices and we really tried during the 2-1/2 hours we were there to sample everything. The crepe's station was fun and they were amazing. The charcuterie station was meh, but also fun. Omelette station was wonderful and what you would expect. They had a prime rib carving station. Good meet, well cooked, but not kept warm; so it was cold when served. Then there was the normal buffet breakfast fare. All good. I really liked the thick cut bacon. Chicken and waffles were a hit with my adult kids. Their take on eggs Benedict was a spectacular fail. The egg was hard boiled with no sauce and a soggy English muffin. The cold seafood station was great with oysters, scallop, and shrimp. They needed to pay more attention on the preparation since the scallops and oysters all had sand still on them. Made for an interesting and familiar crunch. The rest of the lunch menu was okay, but only fair. Dessert was interesting and fun; lots of bite size tarts, cakes, and cookies. At $58 per person, the bill before tip was $260; with a 25% tip that was well earned the bill came to a whopping number. Don't forget entrance fee and valet parking. We came for the experience and enjoyed the atmosphere and service. But I am not sure the food was worth the price point of a fine dining steak and seafood dinner for four. read more
