Price tiers are rough planning judgments, not menu prices or a promise of value. Hours, menus, operators and seasonal service change. Check the restaurant before leaving. The choices include Tony’s personal favorites, other useful local options and familiar chains; inclusion is not a firsthand endorsement. The list is representative across the main approaches, not every business around the reservoir.
