Grille Room
Our culinary team thoughtfully designs menus with a mix of member favorites and new offerings. Ask for our Soup of the Day, enjoy a salad with local fruits and veggies (our Strawberry Fields is a summer hit), or try fresh, local fish (grilled, sauteed, broiled or blackened). Our Sautéed Rainbow Trout Almondine is served with Potato and Mushroom Hash and Truffle Green Pea Puree. Try our Chicken Française with Parmesan Risotto, Roasted Asparagus and Lemon Caper Sauce.

Save room for dessert—current options include our Dulce de Leche Cheesecake, Tiramisu, Flourless Chocolate Torte, and Cannoli. Or, savor a scoop of Graeter’s Ice Cream.
