    Chicken Al Pastor

    WOW! Every bite of food was so delicious. -The house salad was not your basic iceberg lettuce and croutons, it had fresh cucumbers, gorgeous golden tomatoes, a mixed green and arugula combo, and the blue cheeses dressing wasn't over baring. -Soup of the day was a fish chowder with the freshest veggies, they were cooked just right, they weren't soggy like veggies usually ate in soup. The chowder was more like a broth which was perfect for a summer night. -Pork bolognese was perfectly cooked, the pasta was al dente, and the sauce was baby basil was so delicious. -Chicken Al Pastor, was AMAZING! I couldn't decide between 2 dishes and let the server choose for me, every bite of the chicken, the bean, the pickled veggies individual or together was perfect. -Warm Mixed Berry Pie was as good and my grandma's, perfect crust, and the right portion of ice cream to pie. -Chocolate Cheesecake with raspberry coulis, one of the riches chocolate cheesecakes, would have liked more coulis. Super rustic indoor dining, gorgeous outside patio. Service was spot on!

    Elk chops, perfect mashed potatoes, the best carrots ever and Pinot noir. What a meal! We got there shortly after 5:00 PM and were glad we did as the restaurant fills up fast! This was our first trip to Stanley and although it's probably the smallest town we have ever stayed in, some of the restaurants have some of the best food we have ever had!

    Wedge salad

    We ate here during a recent vacation to Ralph the river. We had braised brisket and Pork Schnitzel. My Schnitzel was delicious with a mushrooms gravy. The brisket was fatty,however the sauce was delicious. We also shared a wedge salad which was delicious with flavorful blue cheese. A cup of Red pepper soup was flavorful as well The service was good And nice cool breeze on the porch

    Chicken thighs

    Yummy in your tummy!!! What a great place to have a dinner and watch the sunset. Folks are great and the food is better. We started off with some Vegan Wraps which are absolutely wonderful, followed by Spaghetti Bolognese and Roasted Chicken thighs. Food is delicious and the service is delightful. Not a better place in the world for an anniversary dinner!! And the views of the Sawtooth Mountains as a backdrop???? Enjoy!!

    Great service and excellent food! Wife and I shared the schnitzel which was outstanding! (Didn't get a picture as we stated eating it right away) My son had the brisket which melted in your mouth and my son In-Law had the fresh fish which was very unique served over a curry infused mushy peas! The beet salad was excellent! We will be going back for sure!

    If I could give this place 100/5 I would! This little hotel is a diamond in the rough. We traveled here after several recommendations to see Stanley before we left back home in our truck and trailer. It took 45 min from Galena Lodge and the accompanying town of Ketchum. Hands down best food, service and atmosphere! If you're passing through or are close by, the views, drive and the awaiting food at the hotel are well worth the trip!!! Don't be shy and make sure you plan a stop here!!! You won't be disappointed!!!

    Get the brisket, get the brisket, get the brisket. I can't say it enough times, it's the diamond of brisket. No, just order anything on this menu because everything is out of this world. This place contributes to the elevated status of Stanley in the food world, which I am not sure has yet been discovered. This is a world-class establishment in the town of 63 people. How? I couldn't tell you. It is a gem of Idaho. It's a gastronomer's paradise. The chef must be trained in fine dining and elevated cuisine. It is a remarkable operation. Everything this kitchen puts out is . The service was incredible too. We were taken aback by the flavors, fresh ingredients, organic, light but also remarkably hearty fare. We also could not believe how satisfying our meal was. We had to take a couple laps around the block to walk it off, but it was worth it. Don't be discouraged by the prices, the food is worth every single penny. It is a once in a lifetime experience to dine here. The dining room is warm and low lit and lovely with roaring fireplaces. You'll probably need a reservation here during the busy season.

    One of the best meals I have ever had in my life. Rolls and brisket will blow your mind.

    What a special place. The views and food are out of this world. By far, the best restaurant in Stanley.

    Love the price of the espresso! The potatoes were my favorite, the salmon was fine. Hence, a three.

    Great spot! Even for families…read more The entrees were fantastic and they even allow them to be split and they divide it into two entrees which was fantastic for my wife and daughter who are lighter eaters. The pork chop was a favorite, and the baked potatoes are Idaho sized so be mindful but it's recommended. The mocha pie was a favorite even for those of us who don't care for dessert or care for coffee flavored items, so give that a shot it was very good. Overall it's a must hit spot when in town no matter your party size or age. Get your name in early and eat up!!

    After several bad experiences the past two seasons, we decided to give it one more shot (with high…read morehopes one of our favorite places would be at a minimum, "decent"). At 8pm they are out of prime rib, halibut, trout, artichokes, ribs, and salad! WHAT is going on? I do understand this sort of thing happening on occasion, but literally the last 4-5 times anyone in our family has attempted eating here, it has been such a bad experience like this! Bad food, out of main staple items, or summoned to the dreaded basement... Unfortunately, after 46 years of dining at Pioneer, I think we are done! The past several seasons, something seems different. Always out of MANY items, and service is blah! It was literally a family favorite, so it's sad to even be typing this!!! Shout out to Sawtooth Club for getting us in last minute and serving a delicious meal! We will be back to support them!
