The Fire & Ice Grill inside Marriott’s Timber Lodge boasts three huge outdoor fire pits ringed with chairs and offers a unique dining experience because of its entertaining “kitchen.” To begin, you don’t choose from a menu. Instead, you visit several buffets, laden with items you select to toss into your bowl. Noodles, shrimp, steak, veggies, sauces – it’s all good. Then, you hand your bowl to the chef, who throws it — yes, I said “throws” (my kids were ecstatic) — into a tub and grills your selected items. Moments later, the bowl is handed back to you, and it’s time to chow down. This eatery is highly recommended for mom and dad, who have had it with mac ‘n cheese and need something different for a night out without the kids. It’s also ideal if your kids are more adventurous eaters.
