The Cutwater on Payette Lake McCall ID

Song River

Atmosphere of course in front of Payette Lake and the mountains is a given. Staff were polite and kept up with our orders and drinks. Food was okay. Nothing notable to say excellent. We ordered 3 appetizers 2 out of 3 were prepared well. However the muscles as we went through them and came down to our last 4 to try were full of grit- so we left the remaining 7 in the pan and asked our waitress to please let the chef know. Our Cesar salad was prepared as expected and the taste of anchovy paste was evident in the dressing. Our entree wasn’t great, as an Italian influenced chef the chicken Marsala fell flat. Chicken was served with a bone in it too. The chicken was however juicy. Broccoli served with it was tough and fibrosis. Mashed potatoes were good. Marsala sauce was good but not great. Kristin our server was very pleasant and she was training Jody as well and Jody was really good too. In following the examples of fine dining this didn’t reach the level it should. Just a bit more attention to details and care and passion for each food creation should be given. Pricing is very fair for the area.

Not impressed. Service was pathetic. Food was average for being such a nice place on the waterfront. Will never return. A waste of hard earned money. If I could cut the one star in half it would be overrated. Enter at your own risk.

Beautiful view of the lake and mountains. Relaxing environment. Great food and service. Reasonable prices. Would like to go back.
