The View Review

Like the Mirror Lake Inn to which it's attached, this restaurant is upscale, traditional, classic, and unfailingly excellent. The change from black-tie servers to a more casually attired staff better reflects the lake view out the picture windows. However, the less formal atmosphere doesn't mean a more casual kitchen -- the award-winning restaurant turns out seasonally inspired, consistently creative dishes accompanied by an equally impressive wine list. Start off with some warm duck pâté with candied leeks and lingonberry preserves, or a chilled lobster salad with cucumber foam, frisee lettuce, and avocado oil. Then dig into such fork-tender entrees as espresso-rubbed Black Angus filet mignon or a rack of lamb with Montrachet cheese and minted zinfandel sauce. The View is also open for breakfast.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
