There is something big happening in the valley…Tamarack Resort launched an abundance of brand new dining options that have our mouths watering.

At The Reserve, guests are treated to an upscale yet approachable atmosphere where they can enjoy a hearty fusion of Mediterranean, Italian and American flavors. The menu features fresh, seasonally sourced ingredients as well as craft beer, wine and handcrafted cocktails prepared with homemade syrups and shrubs. The restaurant and bar’s modern interior is highlighted by floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a stylish and relaxing environment accented by rustic wood tables and plush seating. On warmer days, don’t miss the al fresco seating available on the expansive balcony, where you can enjoy a stunning view of the mountain.

Across the Village plaza walkway, you will find The Rendezvous Food Hall—an indoor venue with open seating offering the following options: Triple B Diner (classic 60’s-style diner: breakfast, burgers and more); Crusty’s Pizza (hand-tossed, thin-crust sourdough pies and slices); Summit Bowls (fresh, healthy grain-based bowls with vegetables and other toppings); and El Pueblo Taqueria (fast-casual Mexican fare: burritos, tacos and more).
