Located a stone's throw from the southwest entrance from the park, the Belton Chalet was a nice relaxing dining experience for our road weary group. The restaurant has an old world cabin like feel to it. Lots of antiques around and some wonderful nature prints for sale on the wall.
The service staff was very friendly but a bit over worked. This made for somewhat long waits for a second drink or desert as they scurried about trying to accommodate everyone in the room. The food was very good, 3 of us ordered the trout special which was excellent. It had a nice butter sauce on the top and it almost made up for the fact that I could not catch a trout to save my life on the entire trip. I made an attempt to try berry pies at every place we ate and the mixed berry pie at Belton's was the best pie I tried in the state. It was delicious with a nice light crust.
