It wasn&#8217;t a bad experience.  The Kalaloch Lodge is located in a beautiful setting next to the beach and the restaurant has great views of the Pacific Ocean; reserve early to get a window seat.  The restaurant has a lodgy feeling with wood-covered ceilings and walls, though it looks more functional than cozy.<br \/>\nThe menu is American\/Pacific Northwest, and has a strong emphasis on seafood.  Appetizers and burgers were $7 to $11, while main entrees $10-26.  There is also a children&#8217;s menu with the usual offerings for $3-5.<br \/>\nMike started with the clam chowder ($4 for a cup).  He found it a bit salty, but overall good &#8211; better than your average clam chowder.  It had big chunks of clam and celery, which he liked.<br \/>\nHe continued with the seafood pasta ($22).  It came with 2 scallops, 4 or 5 chunks of salmon, several large shrimp and red and yellow pepper, all in a very cheesey alfredo sauce.  He was quite pleased with the dish.<br \/>\nI had the beef stew ($10), which was nice and hearty and I enjoyed (though not as much as mine, of course).<br \/>\nProbably the low point of the dinner was the service, the restaurant was busy though it didn&#8217;t seem understaffed.  However, our waitress disappeared after bringing the soup and didn&#8217;t come to offer refills on the bread or the drinks, even though it took a long time before the entrees came.<br \/>\nThe next day for breakfast service was better, but then again, the restaurant was less crowded.  Their breakfast menu offers classics &#8211; pancakes &#038; egg dishes &#8211; I had some really good granola and Mike had the pancake and egg combination which he enjoyed.<br \/>\nIn all, we had good meals and we&#8217;d eat there again if we were staying at the lodge.<br \/>\nKalaloch Lodge<br \/>\n157151 Hwy. 101<br \/>\nForks, WA<br \/>\n866-525-2562<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitkalaloch.com\/restaurants.shtml\">http:\/\/www.visitkalaloch.com\/restaurants.shtml<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During our trip to the Olympic Peninsula we spent a night at the Kalaloch Lodge and (with no other options in sight) had both dinner and breakfast there.
