Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you accept reservations?

    Nope! Our tables are first come, first served. We expect for everyone to be on “lake time”during their stay at Priest Lake and have eliminated the rush. We always appreciate a heads up for parties of 10 or more!

    In July 2021 the restaurant was purchased independently from the lodging. This website and contact information is for the restaurant only as we have no affiliation with The Lodging at Cavs Resort.
