Beautiful Beautiful View. I LOVE IT!!! One of my favorite places. I loved the mountains view, it’s so gorgeous!
The ticket to get uphill is $105 for two.
The restaurant is not that good tho, we went at 10AM and they don’t have breakfast/ brunch selections. We got fries and salmon sandwich.
I don’t understand how people can eat salmon with sandwiches, it’s not good! So I only at the salmon by itself. Salmon is good, with salad and fries.
Our server Jacob was so informative, gave us a couple of places to visit in the national park.
Been here a couple times. Delicious food and amazing views (on a clear day). One of the times I came up it was so foggy you couldn't see the restaurant from the gondola.
Always an awesome experience. The gondola ride is spectacular the views are breathtaking and the restaurant is delicious. Also visit the gift shop and buy a souvenier or beverage from wine to beer or even spirits and dont forget to tip your hired help up there. They all do a great job and are very helpful with sny questions you might have.
Pretty spendy but honestly worth it. First off, the views are breathtaking, you’d have to see it for yourself. It is a smaller restaurant, so the wait can be pretty long. But the servers were awesome and the food came out pretty quick. Speaking of, the food was amazing! I got the PNW Burger and my husband got the Greek Gyro, both were fantastic (I liked mine more lol). The truffle fries are a MUST TRY. Will definitely be bringing any visitors I have here!
While at the top, you should definitely partake of the wonderful food and service at the Summit House Restaurant. It's small, so you may want to go on a not so crowded day, but definitely worth the wait! The views are spectacular as well.
Visiting from Hawaii. Food was good, the truffle fries was getting cold already some reason though. Pricey food.
Unfortunately it was only around 130pm on a friday and they were already out of charcuterie board and pulled pork sandwiches.
Good, but nothing exceptional stood out. 4/5.
Absolutely beautiful, my only complaint is that when your servicing people outside you need to make sure you actually have enough of the items on the menu.
Several pros and a couple cons.

The food: 9/10
We tried the pulled pork sandwich, burger, Calamari, Clam Chowder, and truffle fries. Everything was delicious! Only downside was that most of the items were room temperature by the time it got to us.
The atmosphere: 6.5/10
The staff were very warm and friendly. Unfortunately, the room itself was fairly chilly, literally. People kept leaving the door open and letting the heat out. There's a nice looking fireplace at one side of the room, but it wasn't on. Again, it was much colder outside, but still wasn't amazing to be sitting in a 55 degree restaurant.
The service: 7/10
One word, slow. We didn't make a reservation, so that's hands-down our fault (waited 45 for a table). But even the time between sitting down at the table and them taking our order was 20 minutes, then the wait for the food was about 30. Again, nice staff but unusually slow for a well established play that's used to heaving traffic.
This restaurant is perched at the peak of the Gondola ride, with a 360-degree mountainous view around it. Unfortunately, it was too foggy to catch a glimpse of Mount Rainier today. We had brunch and were barely ahead of the lunch crowd. All tables were fully occupied by the time we finished our meals. We ordered the Smokehouse Salad, and it was a large enough portion for sharing!👍Great food, and friendly service (even when super busy). The tables are spaced apart with just enough walking space. It's pretty packed when full-house.

I went to this place on a weekend !
And here’s my review -
✨ Things I wish I knew -
1) Make sure to enter your name in their register at least 30 minutes before your expected lunch time !
2) They don’t take reservations where you can give your phone number.
3) They stop taking customers in around 12:30pm-12:45pm because the last dine in time for them would be 2:30 pm.
4) Like the other reviews say, there is “no reservation” for the “window seat”. It’s first come first serve basis. But you can wait longer after you turn comes up, they accommodate your window seat request ( Took me an hour of waiting time but it was worth it! ) ✨
❄️ As for the decor and the vibe, the place is warm and has a cabin feel to it and bustling with all the energetic staff who were doing their best despite being understaffed the day I visited. 🪵
🥘 And the food was delicious!
Never had a better impossible burger till date that I would recommend, but this place has one of the best one ✨I also had the tomato basil soup and add on Fries ! The portion was huge and filling ❤️🍟 🍔
Everything was a fabulous for me, but they didn’t give us forks and knifes nor was the water filled in on being seated. So that was tardy, but the place was understaffed that day 🙈 So I give this a 4.
But I’d definitely be here again if I ever visit Crystal mountains again ❤️
