Crow's Bench is a new restaurant inside the Humbird hotel at the Schweitzer Resort! Initially the architecture is what caught my eye. It's beautiful inside and out!
The menu here is very simple, with a few options for each course. Expect to pay $30-40 for an entree, and almost $20 for an appetizer. The food is not cheap. Because of that, I had really high expectations. I personally enjoyed everything I ordered, but the others on my table weren't impressed.
When deciding between the Veal Chop, Wiener Schnitzel, and Game Hens, definitely go with the Wiener Schnitzel! The lemon cream cheese and lingonberries add another layer of complex flavors that worked really well together! It was easily the favorite dish on our table. We got the meatballs for an appetizer and those were good too. The Apple Strudel for dessert was yummy, but needed ice cream or something to balance it out.
My main reasons for rating this place 3 stars instead of 4 is because it took at least 45 minutes to get our food. We were the only people eating dinner there at the time, so it wasn't even like they were slammed with business! It just took forever. It's also super pricey, and I don't think it was worth it. While my Wiener Schnitzel was really good, the other dishes on the table weren't anything special. If I'm going to spend that kind of money on dinner, it better blow us all away.
I would come here for the architecture and atmosphere, but prepare yourself for waiting a long time and spending a lot of money for food that may not feel worth it. read more
