Communal dining is a quintessential human experience. With that understanding, we simply must serve great food. In-season, locally sourced with quality ingredients, and impeccably prepared – for lunch and dinner. We'll be a gathering place for the community and guests in a fresh and new space that honors the legacy of the Lodge, while tantalizing the palette with flavors that celebrate the bounty that the area has to offer – from lush produce to the freshest catch. We aim to offer fair and approachable pricing – inviting locals regularly and inspiring visitors to make the trip – and to serve meals with the warmth and care of being in someone's home.

Our server appeared quite distracted, and the timing of our food and drinks felt disjointed, especially considering the price point of the restaurant. He spent a noticeable amount of time by the kitchen and didn’t engage with us meaningfully, even though we mentioned we were celebrating a birthday. We rallied and made the most of it but the service was disappointing.

Food is so so and overpriced. It’s the only higher end restaurant for miles so if you’re staying at the Sea Ranch, you either dine here or cook for yourself.

We always enjoy an evening at the Lodge! Tonight’s dinner was the best we’ve ever experienced there! Loved, loved the scallops, the crab cakes, and the chicory salad. Really lovely fresh clean flavors and beautiful, simple presentation. Cant wait to return!

Drinks and wine list were good. Ambiance and service were fine. The ocean view is great and there’s a homey vibe that is also nice. The food was too salty and lacked subtlety for the price. Although I would give it another try because it’s such a unique lodge.

From the beginning of our 30th anniversary dinner we were feted like never before! Jay ushered us to a window seat at our previous request and appreciated our anniversary with wonderful conversation. Jesse was delightful with serving beverages and noting our celebration. Then Kayla regaled us for the rest of the evening by honoring us with continuing surprises and carefully suggested delights for our dinner. The service we received was so respectful of our special milestone. Many kudos to the kitchen for the fabulous food . We simply could not have enjoyed this experience more. Thank you all.

We had a great time at the Harvest Winemaker dinner. The food and wine were delicious. Our only quibble was that everything, except dessert, was served family style. We have been to winemaker’s dinners at other places and this was a first. It was awkward to be seated with people you didn’t know and have to share food. Especially at that price point.

The reason I gave it only 3 stars is because they did not tell us beforehand that we’re having a big event and had a greatly reduced menu to offer others I eat there frequently and they have had the same menu for a long time so it was upsetting when the dish i wanted was not being offered I drove an hour to get there and there are no other options thst were available if they were I would have taken

Dear Peter, Thank you for taking the time to share your disappointment with us. I am sorry that we missed our chance to communicate with you about the Winemaker Dinner we were hosting prior to your arrival for your reservation; this was our goal for all guests who booked with us for this evening. If you choose to dine with us in the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me personally so I can make sure we provide an exceptional experience for you and your guests. In Service, Jay Wyant-King

An all round great experience. We were staying in one of the accommodations so we ate at the Lodge several times. Yesterday evening was the one time we ate in the dining room. This was the best service experience with August and Dakota. Breakfast and bar food/ drinks were all delicious and the staff friendly and caring.
