Food was terrible and probably microwaved. That didn't stop them from charging as if it was fine dining $50 averageper plate. Waitstaff was rude, but with an automatic tip of 20% added to the bill what's the point of being friendly? Save your money hit the pine Cafe!!!

Got there a hour early so had a bottle of wine at the bar between the 4 of us. The bartender sat the glasses down then the bottle of wine. Since it was a screw top he said we could open it and pour it and walked away. Went to Peaks and was seated right away. Our waiter was Diego we asked for lemons for our water if they had it. He said he would bring us some never got some. Was disappointed thought the food would be special, but was the same served in the bar. One and done for the four of us.

We had been looking forward to this meal for months. It is so incredibly overpriced for the quality of the food. While the hummus and tapenade were great, the salmon was overcooked, the wild mushroom ravioli was bland, and the prime rib was incredibly fatty. Plus $24 for a drink, it was over $100 per person. If it had been delicious it would be well worth it. But it was subpar, at best. Unfortunately at the top of the mountain the only other option is in their cafeteria.

Ambience was incredible! However, the food did not justify the beauty of the restaurant. There were five of us for lunch who all ordered different items off the menu. We all agreed the food was mediocre at best.
