This is such a charming restaurant with a superb menu always something new and delicious to try. The waitstaff are always welcoming and the waitresses are friendly as well as knowledgeable about the menu options. Highly recommend putting in a reservation cause they’re always busy and that’s a good thing.

I’m a local and eat at Roundhouse a few times a year for lunch. Tonight we went up the mountain for dinner and it didn’t disappoint! For dinner the Gondola ride is included in the price of dinner. It was a 4 course prefix menu but with a lot of options under each course - especially for the main dish. This is a special occasion meal as for 2 people with tip it was $400 - but the atmosphere, the food and drinks make it a worthwhile experience! It is a TON of very good food! The best way to approach this meal experience is by taking your time (the pace at night is very much slow giving you time to enjoy each course), tasting a bit with each course but not overeating so you can make it to the main dish and hopefully dessert! Every course is well prepared and delicious!

Excellent service, delicious food, just some minor cons that can be tweaked as they gain more experience! The food could have used more brightness—lacked flavor a bit TO ME. My husband loved it all!! Felt very cozy.
