Pool Bar for Lunch

Evergreen’s Main Lodge is where you’ll find breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a variety of settings. Choose from a cozy dining room, an old-west front porch, a classic tavern or an open-air covered and heated patio overlooking the main plaza and surrounding woods. Our classic mountain cuisine with a California twist tastes great no matter where you choose to dine!

NOTE: menus are subject to change based on seasonality and availability of ingredients, but are always delicious!

We’ve got everything from Fresh Buttermilk Pancakes to Steelhead Trout Gravlax. Check out our full breakfast menu. You can also book a Bed & Breakfast package for convenience and value.

If you’re in more of a rush, you can just pop into our General Store for latte’s, freshly made breakfast items, and trail supplies.

Crowd pleasers such as burgers, steaks, and seafood share the stage with some of the Chef’s innovative seasonal items. Our wine list focuses on affordable yet superb wines from California as well as select choices from other areas of the world. Many wines are available by the glass and our reserve list is strong enough to satisfy more demanding palates.

To give you the full flavor of what’s available here is our dinner menu and our specialty drink menu. We also have a dynamic kid’s menu that is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters.

Dinner reservations are available for any amount of guests and highly encouraged for parties of 8 or more.

Dinner is generally busiest around 7 pm, though wait times can vary.  If you would like to dine in our outdoor dining patio, we recommend checking in with the host stand at least 20 minutes before you would like to have dinner in case there is a wait.

Our poolside barbecue includes timeless classics like grilled-to-order Angus Burgers, Grilled Salmon, Flat Iron Steak, and Jamaican Jerk Chicken. Our summer barbecue menus rotate nightly between themes such as  Southwest BBQ and Caribbean BBQ so you always have something new to try throughout your stay.
