The Restaurant at Gates Lodge…A 2020 Update
The various stay-at-home orders, the current restrictions on seating occupancy, our limited staff numbers, and the shortness of our season necessitates us making changes to the restaurant in 2020. There is simply no other way for us to keep the restaurant open this summer. Rather than feeling burdened, we are excited to take this opportunity – presented by necessity – to try something a bit different.
In short, the restaurant will become an order-inside, eat-anywhere restaurant with lots of to-go options for food and drink, wine and beer, and a menu tailored to fresh, fast preparation.
Friday through Saturday: Orders may be placed from 7 am – 7:30 pm
Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday: Orders may be placed from 7 am – 6:30 pm
Monday and Tuesday: Lodge guests only, 7 am – 6:30 pm
For pick-up orders: 989 348 8462
