Artist Point Review

If you're not a guest at the Wilderness Lodge, a meal here is worth it just to see the giant totem poles and huge rock fireplace in the lobby of the hotel. The specialty at this restaurant, which focuses on foods of the American Northwest, is cedar-plank salmon, served with seasonal items like a contemporary Niçoise salad with eggplant caviar, heirloom tomatoes, quail egg, and Meyer lemon aïoli (worth its $39 price tag). The buffalo is another signature item, char-grilled and served with luscious enhancements like Zellwood corn-sausage hash, Yukon gold-potato smear, and blackberry Pinot Noir reduction. There's a good Northwestern U.S. wine list and a wine-pairing option for an additional cost.
