    This was our fourth annual dinner at Orso. Sadly our waiter Tim made this an expensive, awful night out. When we sat down, nothing was noted as the hostess had - the biggest issue being that an allergy was present, and he actually offered me that allergen rather than reading the ticket. Past that, our food runner informed us that he had mixed up our seating with our meals, meaning that my food was no longer allergy safe. While waiting for drinks for 25 minutes, we saw Tim visit and have incredible conversations with the table besides us, six times. In doing so, he did comp our drinks, however he truly ruined our anniversary experience. Sadly the level of care has gone down at Orso while the price has gone up, and it’s just no longer worth the hassle.

    Nice service, beautiful setting, food was extremely mediocre. I honestly can cook better tasting things myself which is disappointing, considering what I was expecting from such a high end restaurant.

    Orso was truly wonderful! The food was incredible, and the staff went out of their way to make us all happy! We were a large group, and our server and bartender knocked it out of the park. Our team of 14 was from all over the world, and everyone can not wait to return. I personally will dream about the smoked old fashioned, the ravioli, and the venison for weeks to come. Thank you!

    The food and service were excellent. Our low rating is because of the table we were seated at. We made a reservation a month in advance. The hostess brought us to the worst table right in the middle of the room. We asked for a table by the window and she refused to seat us there because the tables were already set for breakfast. What should have been a nice dinner experience was ruined. We won’t be back.

    We waited 15 plus minutes before the waitress took our drinks order. In our party of five three meals came out first two of which were cold one was sent back to be heated. The other two mains took close to ten minutes to come out so everyone s meals were cold waiting for our guests to be served. One plate was supposed to have 5 shrimp only four were served. The chicken mushroom Alfredo was more gooey than creamy and the chicken was stringy having been shredded instead of chopped. Lobster Tortellini had three tortellini that’s all. The Tiramisu was prepared on the spot instead of overnight and was a soaking disaster. Very disappointed with this meal and the timing with service delivery.

    The food was very disappointing. First course was limited choices, I had cesear salad and it was not even real bacon. Second kruse was the venison and it was too raw so I sent it back and on second attempt wasn’t much better. Dessert was very disappointing as well, hazelnut chocolate cake that seemed like frozen dough. Not good value for the 85.00 per person. Will not be returning.

    We were very excited to eat here. We thought the menu was excellent and the price was very good, considering it was part of the lodge. While the food was delicious our service was poor and our waiter was abrupt, rude and honestly soured our experience. He didn’t deserve our tip at all based on his attitude. It seemed he was covering too many tables but others actually got service without haven’t to wave him down to ask for water or to order a bottle of wine! Not acceptable service in a nice restaurant. When asked to split our bill and my husband asked to verify the price he immediately was again rude and abrasive. Not a smile on his face all night. Not a good representative of the hotel or restaurant. A burger in town would have been q better experience.

    Our appetizer, Apple Ravioli was lovely, as well as the lemon dessert. However, the Lobster Tortellini was almost inedible-- tough lobster and very little of it--it should have been called "Sorrel Tortellini ".

    Started out as a good experience with another couple we were travelling with. Waiter was very efficient and friendly until it got busier and thus made them short-staffed. Waiter upsold us on side-dishes that we never ate. Potatoes were not even edible as they were extremely salty. Upsold us on wine that was $16 for a 5oz glass; $76 for a 25oz bottle. My friend and I ordered one glass each and he insisted a bottle would make more sense. Wish I did the math! I guess it saved him running to the bar to get us a refill! (less than $20 to pour my own at home) Neither of the 3 courses impressed; food and drinks were all mediocre and overpriced; 4 of us were left disappointed.

    During pre-dinner drinks at the Great Hall, our super charming server Kaitlin overheard we were planning to have dinner later at Orso Trattoria. She recommended the menu the wine and a server. We were fortunate to be assigned Konnor as our dining server. The apple ravioli was unique and special. We followed with pan seared venison or pollo Alfredo. Both were done perfectly. With desert came a celebration of our fifty-five years of marriage. A perfect evening orchestrated by two special servers.

    The tables by the window are all 2- and 4-seaters and we had a party of 6 we were seated near the middle of the dining area, but still could see out the window out onto Lac Beauvert. The server was very attentive and explained the menu clearly. It’s a 3-course OR 5-course pre-fixe. One person at our table wanted to do the 5-course and everyone else wanted to do the 3-course. This was not allowed, because the whole table had to do 3- or 5-course. We went with the 3-course and it was plenty of food. The scallop appetizer was beautiful and citrusy. We subbed a tenderloin for the main, and added an a la carte order of shrimp, and they were all done well. The tiramisu for two was very unexpected… the server brings out the components of the tiramisu and makes it in front of you. I prefer the traditional tiramisu over this “show”, but it was still tasty. Our dinner was interrupted by seeing a moose swim across Lac Beauvert. What a treat to see! Overall great dining experience — the food, the view, the service, the ambience.

Had a lovely dinner, server did an excellent job of noting family gathering and let us have our time; also sharing great insight on the menu and alternative options as well as sourcing preferred beer for member of our party from another venue, looking forward to next trip back, Basil gelato. Amazing.
