Enjoy a Delicious bistro-style menu this summer with our dedicated staff ensuring a socially distant outdoor dining setting and take-out available daily from 5-9PM. 

TAKE-OUT AND OUTDOOR OPTIONS
Outdoor seating like never before is available at The Lodge Restaurant & Pub this summer. The pavilion is open and available for spacious outdoor dining. In addition to seating on the deck, each table is spaced at least six feet apart and is routinely sanitized. Enjoy dinner with a view every day from 5-9PM.

The extra outdoor space on the pavilion is one that staff are particularly excited about. Christen Holland, The Lodge Restaurant & Pub Manager, notes,

“It’s a whole new area. It’s a fun and casual atmosphere where members and guests can experience the normal dining room menu. We are open seven days a week for you to enjoy.”

Take-out orders are also available daily from 5-9PM for those who want the experience of The Lodge on the go. Grab dinner and drinks, including notable wines and cocktails, for the whole family to enjoy as a meal for a scenic picnic hike, a spread to enjoy as the sun sets on Donner Lake or simply an easy way to enjoy your favorite foods right at home. Appetizers, entrees, desserts and drinks are available to pick up.

THE DISH ON YOUR FAVORITE DISHES
The summer season brings a variety of fresh foods to the table this month. It can be hard to decide which delectable options to choose at The Lodge, so we’ve offered our favorites.

As a simple but filling option, the heirloom tomato & fresh mozzarella salad is one to beat, especially with the fresh tastes you can’t find anywhere else the rest of the season. Holland notes, “You not only get to enjoy these beautiful sweet and fresh heirloom tomatoes available a couple months out of the whole year, but 25-year-old aged balsamic is hard to get your hands on.” Coated to perfection with fresh basil, extra-virgin olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar, this is a summer staple.

For the kids, nothing makes a summer evening quite like an ice cream sandwich. The Lodge has created housemade ice cream sandwiches with both mint chocolate chip and vanilla ice cream. Layered between two decadent brown sugar cookies, this sweet treat is sure to make any child (or grown-up!) smile.

Steal of the summer: Your favorite wines are available at The Lodge, and, this summer, all bottles are now 20% off. Savor our award-winning wine list for a fraction of the price.
