    Excellent all around, our favorite restaurant in the area. Every dish we’ve tried has been outstanding! The table side prepared bananas Foster should never be skipped, it is, dessert perfected.

    After a day on the mountain with a couple of mishaps, dinner at Convict Lake Restaurant was a great way to end the day. Charisse was exactly the person make it an enjoyable evening and experience. The food was great too and all staff made us feel welcomed and appreciated. A unique out of the way spot to enjoy a great sunset over the snow covered mountain that are the lakes backdrop. Special occasion or just dinner out this the place to be.
