I was up at Silver Star with a good friend of mine, seeing the sights and sampling food and spirits...over a hundred dollars later we had hit up a couple of different places for drinks and food, all of which went down very nicely :)

Long John's Pub was our last place to visit for the evening and by the time we reached it, we were hungry!! While sucking up the atmosphere, which is very quaint and cozy, we perused the menu. Everything looked delicious but we felt the prices were a bit steep, it almost felt like the fine dining rates you'd see in Banff. We decided to order a plate of Calamari, to share. When the server brought us our food, it looked delicious but we were wondering who snacked on it between the kitchen and our table as there was but a small handful of Calamari on our plate! Pretty hard to share, but we managed...the portions size was terrible for the price, $14 dollars and although it was delicious and meant to be an appetizer, we wouldn't go back nor recommend it as a place to eat. Although I will say the server was fantastic, very friendly and efficient so...Drink yes, eat no!
We ended up going across the snow covered ground to The Bulldog to scarf down a super larger order of yam fries with garlic aoli which was yummo and resonably priced, plus we were able to sit by the fireplace and absorb the atmosphere inside and out as there are large windows with great views!!
I'd definetly go up to the Star again, just for fun, not even to ski, snow board or tube but I will be sure to bring the 'it takes money mindset' to enjoy myself fully up at the Star, that and a couple of roadies to conjure up while walking around outside!
