Editorial Review for The Lodge – by Martha Burr
The Scene
Michael Sutton and Adolfo Suaya's (Dolce, Memphis) hipster steakhouse, a Dodd Mitchell-designed ode to Aspen, slyly incorporates a delightful hint of Twin Peaks into its mix. Deer antler chandeliers, giant pine tree pillars and a sleek bar lend a stylish edge to luxe decor like buttery leather chestnut-toned banquettes, stone fireplaces and high-end crystal. Between Sinatra and mambo a handsome crowd straight out of the "Entourage" casting office sets the room abuzz with Hollywood energy.
The Food
Steakhouse standards don't stray far from the classics. Kobe beef tartare is a piquant starter, offering a zing of horseradish and lime. The fat crab cake is packed with plenty of meat, subtly seasoned, and golden brown. Prime rib-eye boasts a rich, charbroiled flavor, and the fish here is as good--and as generous--as the steaks and chops; a standout is the baked Alaskan halibut, flaky and sweet. The four-cheese mac is four-star with it's satin-rich edge of smoked gouda.

We have been to this restaurant a number of times with friends and we have loved it every time. The steak is great, we have visited almost all of the best steak houses in southern california and this one is the best. Sometimes people have a bad experience, sometimes people have good experiences ours were great every time! Try the bone in steak, it is prepared like no other steak house. Remember it is a STEAK HOUSE so try the steak, if not there is no reason to go to steak house to eat fish!
Pros: Great steak! It is a STEAK HOUSE!
Cons: Nothing!

I'M A 1ST TIME USER OF THE SITE AND HAD TO SHARE MY GOOD EXPERIENCE AT THIS RESTAURANT. MOST PEOPLE ONLY SHARE, WHEN THEY HAVE BAD EXPERIENCES. MY HUSBAND AND I DINE OUT OFTEN AND WE BOTH AGREE THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST STEAK HOUSES IN THE CITY! NOT ONLY ARE THE STEAKS DELICIOUS BUT THE SEABASS AND CRAB CAKES ARE MY FAVORITE. THE STAFF IS VERY FRIENDLY AND ACCOMMODATING. WHEN THEY FOUND OUT IT WAS OUR ANNIVERSARY THEY COMP'D OUR DESSERT. WHEN WE TOOK OUR MOTHER'S THERE FOR MOTHER'S DAY THEY PRESENTED THE WOMEN WITH ROSES! WE RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO MANY OF OUR FRIENDS AND BUSINESS ASSOCIATES AND THEY TOO HAVE HAD GREAT EXPERIENCES THERE. I MUST GET THEM TO WRITE A GREAT REVIEW, ALSO! DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT...GO CHECK THEM OUT FOR YOURSELF!
Pros: BEAUTIFUL ATMOSPHERE, GREAT SERVICE
Cons: NOT CHILD FRIENDLY, NO HIGH CHAIRS
