点评:If you walk in here and feel suddenly and inexplicably bored, you are in the right place. There is a library-like hush to the whole room. A potential funeral director stands in front of a large book. She needs to find our reservation. After a frown and furrowed brow at seeing nothing, then some page flipping, a reservation is found, It was starting to feel like we were doomed.
The menu was presented, and a wine list. Reading, looking around, you feel like you are being sold timelessness, but you are just getting tired. There is a list of old favorites on the menu, with no dish you haven't seen before. Old art and dull furniture are competing to give you other words for dusty. As I was eating, I pushed an under seasoned potato away to get to a heavily smoky tasting lamb, and my thoughts wandered into wildfires and climate change, and how there won't be any snow up here in a few years. It was making me wonder whether it's all just one last gasp from a dying time, the resort, the restaurant, maybe both.
My wife caught my attention, and I relayed my thoughts to her. She mentioned that we had not seen a service person for about forty minutes. We were out of wine. We had long ago finished our plates.

Interesting side note: On their online menu, it reads "GENÉPI MENU IN RUSSIAN (AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE) So if you are in the market for an oligarch....
翻译:如果你走进这里突然感到莫名的无聊,那么你来对地方了。整个房间有一种图书馆般的安静。一位潜在的葬礼承办人站在一本大书前。她需要找到我们的预订。皱起眉头看不到任何东西,然后翻了几页,发现了预订,开始感觉我们注定要失败。
提供了菜单和酒单。阅读,环顾四周,你感觉自己被出售为永恒,但你只是感到厌倦。菜单上有一系列您最爱的老菜,没有您没见过的菜。古老的艺术品和沉闷的家具正在竞相为你提供“灰尘”的新词。当我吃东西的时候,我推开一个未调味的土豆,去吃一块烟熏味很重的羊肉,我的思绪飘到了野火和气候变化上,以及几年后这里不会下雪。这让我想知道这是否只是垂死之际的最后一口气,度假村,餐厅,也许两者兼而有之。
我的妻子引起了我的注意,我向她转达了我的想法。她提到我们大约四十分钟没有看到服务人员。我们没有酒了。我们很久以前就吃完了盘子。他们说他们很忙。我的错。一半的桌子都是空的。你能有多忙?没关系,我想。该走了!
有趣的旁注:在他们的在线菜单上,写着“俄语的GENÉPI菜单(在本页底部)所以如果你正在市场上寻找寡头......
