    French toast with passion fruit cream cheese
    Bridget D.

    Cool place tucked away in the hills. The vibes are great: think elegance meets rustic. White table clothes in a log cabin with outdoor seating available. The mounted deer / elk heads are a bit aggressive. Service was exceptional. Everyone was very nice. Be sure to read the menu at the bottom; this is a no tip restaurant so all staff are paid fairly (above minimum wage) and do not work for tips. A 20% fee is automatically added to your bill so tipping is not necessary, but of course welcomed and appreciated. The food itself was so so. A bit over priced although portions were generous. We went for brunch. We ordered the French toast, one of the egg dishes and the cornbread skillet. Everything was decent, but I probably wouldn't rush to go there again. If you're vegetarian or pescatarian, especially for the dinner menu, options are limited. There is a lot of game on the menu. If you're a meat eater, you'd probably love this spot for dinner. Parking is Valet only and costs $20

    Saddle Peak Lodge is a place we've visited several times over the years, so we were really looking forward to our most recent dinner. Before going, I checked recent reviews and was surprised by how many 1-star ratings there were - which definitely gave me pause. Were we about to be disappointed too? Happily, no. We had an excellent experience. There were six of us, and we ordered a wide range of entrées: sea bass, salmon, chicken, rib eye, and lamb. Every single person rated their dish a solid 5 stars. My sea bass was outstanding - perfectly cooked with a lightly seasoned crunch. Honestly, one of the best sea bass dishes I've had. That said, not everything hit. I didn't love the Pink Lady salad. It was interesting, but the flavors didn't quite come together for me. I also found the hors d'oeuvres and small plates uninspiring. I usually struggle to narrow down appetizers, but here I struggled to find one I wanted - and even the shared salad fell flat. The rib eye deserves a special mention. One of our dining companions is a sous chef who regularly prepares rib eyes at his own restaurant, and he couldn't believe how good it was. His only complaint? Not enough mashed potatoes. Desserts were a hit across the board - the bread pudding is a must. Service was attentive and smooth, and surprisingly, the restaurant wasn't packed - even on a Saturday night. One thing to note: valet is your only parking option, and it's $20. Will we be back? Probably. When Saddle Peak gets it right, it really gets it right.

    Hours said open but restaurant was closed

    Been here few times before maybe 3 times awhile back pre covid will say food and experience were always delicious and great ambiance !! The reason for 2 stars below.. Yesterday we called to make reservation bc everytime we tried to on the website, it said browser unavailable so we just kept calling, it rang, and we heard automated recording say Tuesday to Sunday open 5-10pm. We hesitated as Google says 5-9pm, i was calling to ask if it was ok to come around 7-45 to 8 as we have done in past, one was Mother's Day was reservation for 3, one was a big birthday party reservation of 6 and one was a walk in for 2 people. All 3 times we came were great- food and presentation were awesome ! So we didn't think it would be a problem on a Thursday evening esp since both Google and the call recording said open. Well we got there at like 8:07pm to find the place empty and closed, we thought they closed at 9, granted we did come 10 min after 8 but we would of expected them open at-least, the whole place was closed and dark no sign of anyone in parking or the restaurant... that was unfortunate as we were so excited to go, we of course turned around and left but coming from 45 min away was a bummer. Maybe next time but wish the internet had updated hours bc I didn't see anything on their website.

    We requested to sit outside and I am so happy that we did! It was such a wonderful experience and so beautiful! We got so excited with the menu so we had to try it all! I am so happy that we did everything was fantastic!! I personally wasn't a fan of the elk tartar because the wasabi was also mixed into the elk and I'm not a fan of wasabi, however my boyfriend loved it!! He said it was great the wasabi mixed with the elk was a great flavor. The quartet was such a hit between my boyfriend and I. For this evening it included bison shortrib, ostrich steak, elk filet, and quail! They were each paired with a side dish that matched it perfectly! Lovely evening thank you to everyone at Saddle Peak Lodge for such wonderful hospitality!!

    Has it been remodeled or updated recently?

    No.

    Is this a good place to enjoy happy hour on the patio with light bites? How are the cocktails? Dog friendly?

    Are they even open? All of their voicemails are full for Reservations and the manager or receptionist. Can't make a reservation even though I tried for 15 minutes! Los Angeles is opening for indoor dining but I guess they're not even open

    Hi sir we are open. Unfortunately we are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. We are serving from Wednesday’s through Sunday’s and our host gets in at 2pm to answer the phone!

    What's considered dressy attire at saddle peak lodge?

    For guys anything from collared shirt and jeans to suit and tie is fine, I have worn both there and was not out of place during dinner

It looked perfect due to its saltwater pool and gorgeous photos online. There were so many great reviews...what could go wrong? We booked the guest house as some of the other options that were less pricey did not have pool access according to one of the owners. So we paid the extra couple hundred for the pool. We arrive and all seemed as described in the guest house. Within the first hour my daughter was crawling anround and picked up a cigarette that was on the floor just under the couch. No big deal. We unpack and head to the pool... The pool was green, smelled, and was cloudy (nothing like the photos online). I message right away and get a text back indicating the levels were tested that day and were fine. Hmm. At this point I didn't know what we could do other than make the best of it. We decide to make some food as we were told the kitchenette included a convection oven. Nope nothing but a microwave. So we order take out instead $$. My son wanted to roast marshmallows bc I told him there was a fire pit outdoors. We head over and it's filled with leaves. This was also the case with the outdoor bbq. Not a big deal but we didn't spend the money to clean the amenities, and we were worried about the smoke if we left the leaves. On our last day my son opens a little decorative box in the living room to find a green rotten string cheese yikes! It is important to note the guest house has sliding glass doors at the entrance of the guest house. Directly in front is where guests of the main house will park. Our view was of 5 cars and there was a lot of activity so we had to keep curtains shut the entire time. FYI- There is no sink for washing dishes or baby bottles. We had to make do with the bathroom sink. Once returned I let them know how the stay was and I was told they found out the pool had been clogged and they were out of the country. They offered a discount next time which was appreciated but I honestly feel we should have been compensated. I sent a text and emailed my thoughts but am getting no response. They were quick to respond when it came to booking and taking my 500$ deposit. I'm so bummed about this experience because it is a beautiful place if it were maintained and if the pool were safe to put the kids in. Last photo is of us making the most of it on the rock :)

The service we received was also excellent, thanks especially to our server, Blake, who really made the experience more enjoyable. Star of the Night: Without a doubt, the focaccia was the best I've ever had. Perfectly fluffy, flavorful, and truly next-level. The pizza butter was a nice touch, though not as memorable as the bread itself. Appetizers: * Caesar Salad: I wasn't a fan of the presentation with the large anchovies on top. I don't mind anchovies in the dressing, but having them laid out on the salad wasn't appetizing. * Tempura Mushrooms: Great flavor, but they were overly fried, making them a bit too hard and masking the mushroom itself. The sauce that came with them was delicious, but there wasn't enough of it to balance out the crispiness. * Grilled Shrimp: Unfortunately, this one missed the mark. The plating was very plain compared to the other dishes, and the flavors just didn't come through. It felt like the dish could use a serious upgrade. * Hamachi Crudo: This was a highlight! The passion fruit purée paired beautifully with the fish, though the extra oil on the plate caused separation and made it hard for the sauce to stick. A small tweak here would make it perfect. Entrees: This is where the meal lost momentum. After the apps, it took about 30-45 minutes for the mains to arrive, which felt unnecessarily long since the full order had been placed upfront. By the time they arrived, the dishes themselves didn't really deliver. * Scallop Curry: Decent flavor, but the scallops could have used a much better sear to really shine. Something about the plate felt a little off-balance. * Pappardelle with Short Rib Ragu: The pasta noodles were well-made, but the short rib lacked depth of flavor and tenderness. It seemed undercooked for what should have been a slow-braised, melt-in-your-mouth kind of meat. Overall, the dish was bland and uninspired. Drinks & Dessert: I skipped the cocktails because none really stood out, but the glass of wine I ordered was excellent. We also passed on dessert after waiting so long for the entrees. Final Thoughts: The restaurant has a lot of potential, the ambiance is beautiful, the focaccia is unforgettable, and the service (thanks to Blake) was wonderful. But the rest of the menu felt inconsistent, with several dishes needing more attention to detail in both flavor and presentation. I'm glad I finally tried it, but for me, the focaccia and service were the true highlights of the night.

From the moment you arrive, you feel transported -- like you've stepped into the middle of an enchanted forest. The setting is exquisite and utterly peaceful, with birdsong in the background and, in our case, the most gorgeous, healthy-looking coyote casually trotting by the creek our outdoor table was overlooking mid-dinner. Even the wildlife knows this place is special. We started with the marinated olives and the house bread served with fennel butter -- a combination that set the tone perfectly. The fennel butter alone is worth the trip -- it is unique and very tasty -- their bread is made in house and DELICIOUS. I had the pomegranate spritzer mocktail, which was refreshingly light and not too sweet -- ideal for sipping through a long, leisurely dinner. For wine lovers, they carry half bottles, which is a lovely touch. We had a 2016 Bordeaux that was honestly one of the best wines either of us has ever tasted. On to the food -- the vegan soup (Charred Leek & Potato) was a wonderful starter (perfectly seasoned), and for my main I had the scallops, which were beautifully portioned and seasoned as well. My friend ordered the braised short rib and said it was phenomenal. Note on the Creamy Polenta -- SMOOTHEST most DELICIOUS polenta ever. But the MVP of the evening was our server, Brian. Confident, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best possible meal. When we asked for a dessert recommendation he didn't hesitate -- banana bread pudding -- and he was absolutely right. Don't skip it. The couple next to us had the Mushroom Truffle Risotto which they raved about. Inn of the Seventh Ray is one of those rare places that nourishes you on every level. We'll be back.... SOON. We left totally blissed out from the whole experience. We recommend sitting outside -- it's just so soothing and special to sit creekside and be able to see and listen to all that wildlife. Heaters are there if you get chilly, but we were 100% comfortable. Also, side note on the darling store on-site -- called the Spiral Staircase. They sell books, crystals, gift-like items and it's a treat to walk through there and check everything out. And there's a wine store on-site too with a great selection.

How they could have a camera in there, to this day, without complaints is astonishing to me. I tried to calmly address this issue with the front desk (before coming here) only to be met with absolute absurdity. The lady managing the desk saw no issue with it and said the camera is there to make sure nobody "damages the room", I argued that we don't want damage in changing rooms and bathrooms but we don't put cameras in them... she didn't understand my correlation, and argued that it's of no concern. I didn't take a photo of the camera, but having looked back on the venues photos of past events, you can see the camera on the wall in that suite for years. Why can't it be hidden during events? Why aren't there signs posted that the bridal suite where everyone is changing is being recorded? Who has access and can monitor that footage? Recommendation: hide the camera when people are changing or provide an alternative location for people to change. If you can't provide a safe space for people to undress without recording them maybe don't hold events. Demand: Delete all past footage that this camera has collected immediately.
