Dinner in the Dining Room at The Lodge at Koele got mixed reviews.  I went with the Chef's Tasting Menu ($85) and three others went with the "Duo" of Beef Tenderloin and Keahole Lobster ($59).  Reviews for the "Duo" were excellent with all three loving the combination of steak and lobster.  Our table ordered an appetizer of Venison ($27).  The Venison was seared on a hot rock at our table.  Nice touch but the Venison had absolutely no flavor.  We also tried the Foie Gras ($27).  This was a cold Terrine dish that was good at best.  These appetizers were expensive and did not really deliver the taste for the price.  The Tasting Menu was good up until the Wagyu Beef main course.  The beef portion was small with only two strips of meat that was tasteless. Really not seasoned well.  This was really not worth eating.  The plate was filled with a large container of some sort of sauce that really did not help.  I thought you pay a premium for Wagyu Beef so you do not have to cover it with sauce.  The flavor of the meat should come through.  It did not.  This was a big time expensive meal in a beautiful restaurant with great service.  The evening was wonderful with great friends and some fine wine.
