I thought I had written a review for this place but I guess not. I have been coming here for years. To dine in but also I have been here for weddings as they do offer their venue for that. It is a great classy...Read More

My big bro had his rehearsal dinner here the night before his wedding. Interesting place. I've been trying to think of how to get this review cookin: maybe I start with the beautiful view? Or a joke about how I'm not a prime rib guy? Or how much I love an upscale steakhouse where servers are dressed to the nines?But I honestly can't get that Lavender Lemon Drop (LLD) off the forefront of my mind. It's one of the best drinks I've had in a MINUTE. Little lavender flakes sprinkled on the rim hehe. Yeah, I know it's a little fruity, but what's wrong with that? I'm comfortable with who I am as a man.I found myself deep in my 2nd LLD on the outdoor patio, trying to gain the courage to say some kind words as people were going around giving speeches about the bride and groom. The pressure was mounting. I am a textbook introvert, so once I spoke from the heart about my big bro I had to run to the bathroom to regain composure.I got back to my seat and my girlfriend subtly patted my leg as to non-verbally communicate "great job baby I know that was hard for you." The Prime Rib I ordered was set down shortly after.The thing about me is I always forget I'm not a prime rib guy until a prime rib is set in front of me. It just sounds so good. "Prime Rib."But in reality, if cooked well, it has a soaked mushy center, you have to cut around the fat, and it's not seared AT ALL!?! Man. Not searing a steak should be a war crime. I will take literally any cut of steak over a Prime Rib.Before you hit me with a "You’ve never had a good prime rib," I assure you, I have. I've tried MANY because I always forget I don't like it. You could argue I'm a little slow because I forget I don't like it, that's fair. I hope after this review it sticks though.This is no knock on the Summit House Prime Rib. Everybody else that ordered it loved it. I know you're gonna hit me with the quote "if everyone but you is crazy, you're probably the crazy one," but the more data I collect the more confident my opinion grows. They should call it "Mid Rib."I would 1000% come back though, as everything else I tried from the salad to the sweet corn to my girlfriend's sea bass was sensational. I'll come back and get a 10oz filet to pair with my 3 LLDs hehehhee.IG @jnov_Tiktok @jnov_reviews

Good portion, like they gave spinach, corn, and Yorkshire pudding (popovers) unlike some places it is just a sad piece of meat on its own. Horseradish cream was very flavorful, the portobello mushroom with polenta was awesome, scallops not so much.Beautiful restaurant and walk path...Read More
