Fodor's Review:

Opened in 1893 and renovated by Robert Reamer beginning in 1903, this double-colonnaded dining room off the hotel lobby is the most elegant dining experience in the park. It is an upgrade from Old Faithful Inn in every way -- service, china, view, menu sophistication, and even the quality of the crisp salads. Arrive early and enjoy a beverage in the airy sunroom. The menu includes elk medallions, buffalo prime rib, and fettuccine with wild smoked salmon. The wine list focuses on wines from California, Oregon, and Washington -- with prices as high as $120 for a bottle of Mondavi Reserve Cabernet.

I cannot see how this is Fodor's Choice

Posted by bigcow from Hong Kong on 7/31/07
These people have no idea what is Medium Rare! i ordered a Medium Rare prime rib and got one that looks pink but its dry, not blood running at all! so, i sent it back and got an fettucini alfredo. i can understand the use of dry pasta, BUT i cannot understand why some are stuck togather. and the flavor... my wife had the idaho trout, the stuffing was perfect but the fish is dry... overcooked. I am no longer in the cusine design business as my day job, my wife says my cooking is better than LAKE YELLOWSTONE HOTEL DINING ROOM that i raved about.
