"Watson Shelter is a three-story building located mid-mountain, right off of the Collins lift. It opens on the earlier side for those looking to warm up with a coffee (or something stronger!) and serves lunch daily. Within Watson Shelter, there are three separate entities all with floor-to-ceiling glass windows which provide an unforgettable panorama of both Mount Baldy and Mount Superior. On the first floor, swing by Baldy Brews for a selection of snacks, baked goods (made in-house daily), espresso, or their famous house special: Italian Hot Chocolate. Located on the second floor is Watson Café, serving lunch daily with an extensive menu of everything from organic soups and vegetarian chili to sandwiches, salads, and burgers made with 100% grass-fed meat. The french fries complete with their special 'fry sauce' are not to be missed. Collins Grill (reservations recommended) offers a more formal lunch, with a private dining room and a variety of courses on the menu they describe as "European mountain bistro-grill." The views cannot be beaten, and for those skiers looking for a relaxing lunch experience, complete with slippers to give your feet a much-needed respite from your ski boots, Collins Grill is the perfect option." - Travel + Leisure Editors
