The Peak - TETON VILLAGE

The food is quite expensive here, so we opted for some wings. The service was good, and the ambiance is pleasant for a quick ski break. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Buyer beware! Though the appearance of this restaurant would have you believe you are eating at your typical base area restaurant, in fact you are eating at a Four Seasons hotel restaurant. I met a friend there for lunch today, this was our experience: We both ordered a meal salad and asked for grilled salmon to be added. When our salads arrived at the table I commented that the portion was that of an appetizer. The salmon was literally a half portion as compared to any time I have ever ordered this same meal at another restaurant. It was as if they were short on salmon so they split a portion between the two of us. The food was delicious, however; when I tell you the price, the value was as diminished as any restaurant I have ever eaten in. $18.00 for the salad, that's fine, $24.00 for the half portion of salmon, so $42.00 for what amounted to an appetizer sized portion. I also ordered an Old Fashioned cocktail. I had never seen a cocktail billed in this manner, $18.00 for the well whiskey plus $6.00 to mix it into a cocktail, $24.00 total. My friend and I travel three weeks a year to ski at the finest resorts in North America and have been doing this during the last four years, never have I felt like such a sucker having bought lunch at the base of a ski area! Good news, I'm not going to miss a meal because of it, I just really don't like being taken advantage of. With tip the salad with salmon and one cocktail was just over $85.00, just my half of the bill. We didn't punish the server for our experience, still tipped 20%, I'm certain he had no control over the pricing and he did a fine job of providing quality service. My recommendation, look elsewhere for better value and portions, you will likely enjoy the feeling of not having been taken advantage of, as both of us believed was the case today!

This place trades on its location; it reflects the opposite of the service that Four Seasons should be known for. Please don't waste precious time during your skiing day at this establishment. We arrived early to beat the lunch rush. Most of the restaurant was empty. We were told it would be a 20 minute wait. Fine. After 20 minutes I checked in and was told they were just cleaning the table. The restaurant was still half empty. Fine. After another ten minutes i was told that the table was paying and would leave soon (directly contradicting the prior statement). We were eventually shown to one of the tables that had been empty when we arrived 40 minutes earlier.

I spent a week at the Four Seasons and made a daily visit to Handle Bar for drinks, snacks, or an early dinner. The staff was fantastic, the service was excellent, and the food was enjoyable. Expect to spend around $30 to $50 per person.

Fantastic food! Be sure to try the burger. Price per person: $20–30. Food: 5/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 5/5.
