    Fantastic Culinary Experience

    The chef and staff, the culinary menu, the food quality, wine selection, and service is very personal and outstanding. The ambiance of the nicely decorated larger or smaller dining rooms with pictures of famous American female movie stars.is stunning, but very comfortable.

    Perfection every step of the way.

    Our Thursday evening dinner at Wilde's at The Lodge last week was divine from beginning till end; service, wine, table, food, presentation, and topped off with live entertainment on the 1st floor. Bravo to Chef Keane and staff. We will be back.
