Frommer's Review

Squaw Valley investors have spent oodles of money trying to turn the ski resort into a world-class destination, and one big step in the right direction is the sleek, sexy PlumpJack Café. Although dinner prices have dropped slightly (guests balked at the original rates), none of PlumpJack's standards have diminished. Expect impeccable service regardless of your attire (this is, after all, a ski resort). Menu choices range from grilled day-boat seafood paella with scallops, jumbo prawns, clams, mussels, Spanish chorizo, and asparagus tips with saffron rice, to Colorado rack of lamb with curry braised fennel, mint zucchini caviar, niçoise olive caponata in a balsamic reduction. There's also a more casual bar menu, and those familiar with PlumpJack in San Francisco know that the reasonably priced wine list is among the nation's best.
