the details
cuisine
The Grill, a 65-seat dining room, is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A wood-burning fireplace, redwood-panelled walls and ceiling, specially commissioned artwork and window views to the mountains lend a mood of stylish comfort. Banquette seating mixes with chairs of rawhide and rattan. Tables are of black terrazzo, and the floor is a mix of carpet and slate. The Grill specialises in creative American cuisine including steaks, chops, seafood and regionally produced organic foods. Daily chef’s choices are also featured. Private dinners and receptions are arranged in the Takoda Room, adjacent to the library and picnic lunches are available. The Bar is defined by rugged sandstone columns, half-a-dozen wrought-iron bar stools and an intimate, window-side setting of tables and chairs. In the summer, drinks can be taken out onto the adjacent terrace.
lounge
Enjoy the views from cowhide chairs or banquette seating. Afternoons, a fireside menu of light meals and appetizers is available.
library
There is a settee, along with rawhide-and-rattan chairs and views to the mountains. Books focus on the region’s flora and fauna, Native American culture, Western art and the area’s two national parks. A selection of novels, CDs, videos and games as well as a laptop for Internet access are also available.
the takoda room
In the tribal language of the Native American Indian, takoda means 'the friend of all': an expression of camaraderie and friendship. A relaxed setting that establishes this same sense of open fellowship, guests reserving this room to host a dinner or an event can enjoy high standards of service in a harmonious atmosphere. Dressed with regional artwork, redwood-panelled walls and a large, wood-burning fireplace, The Takoda Room provides a welcoming ambience reflective of traditions of hospitality found in the American west.
