Restaurants near Lone Pine State Park

The food here is absolutely top notch. We started with the chickpea fritters and the tempura enoki mushrooms. Both were a wonderful melding of texture and flavor. Main course was halibut for me and pheasant for my husband, both perfectly prepared. My husband is still speaking rapturously about the lemon meringue dessert. Truly one of the best meals we’ve had in a while. The thumping bass music in the background was a little annoying and forced us to lean forward to be heard. The male servers were in typical black shirts and pants whereas several of the women had plunging necklines and short skirts; if this was their choice I guess it’s ok but it seemed like a double standard to me.

Overall a very pleasant experience. The service was excellent, the menu is extensive from burgers to seafood and steaks. The atmosphere is lively but not too loud to have a conversation at your table. We will return based on this experience.

We had a fantastic meal at Abruzzo. We were worn out from a long drive but revived quickly after receiving great cocktails (Sicilian margarita!) and a scrumptious beet and burrata salad. Wild boar ragu was a perfect blend of flavors. Espresso gelato topped it off. Excellent selection of wine by the glass. Patio was inviting although we sat in the dining room, which was loud but the acoustics were such that I could still converse with the wait staff and my dinner companion without difficulty. Attentive service without hovering.

Everything was perfect . Ambiance, service as of course a Wonderful Dinner as always.

What a find, my husband took a recommendation from a local hotel employee for a good place to eat. It was excellent and we make another reservation before we leave town. Yes, it was that good!
