Spruce Saddle 2010

Today, I went to Spruce Saddle in Beaver Creek, CO. The lodge is a cafeteria type of place. The noodles were cooked perfectly, though some stuck together. There was a plethora of Alfredo sauce, which was creamy and cheesy. I reviewed this restaurant previously. The 2007 recipe ranked #1 on the "Top Fettuccines of All Time" list and received a 10 of 10 rating. This year's Alfredo, however, was not quite as fabulous. It ranked a 9 of 10.

Seattle Ridge Day Lodge

There is a nice view of the area and good furniture. No fettuccine is available, but you can get Alfredo sauce on either penne or linguini. I ate linguini Alfredo. The linguini noodles were watery. Also, there was not enough salt in the sauce. The dish was, overall, rather bland and tasteless. Despite the lodge's being named "Best Day Lodge in the Country" by Snow Country magazine, the linguini Alfredo only got a 5.

Pallino Pastaria (SeaTac)

Pallino Pastaria was located inside of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. It wasn't a real restaurant - there were no waiters, plus you had to stand in line to order. Pallino's was an in-and-out chain food provider. The fettuccine Alfredo was creamy enough, and rather cheesy. The dish ranked a 7 of 10, quite average.
