The Osage restaurant is truly a dining experience. A great rustic atmosphere, the waiter was absolutely amazing you told us about all dishes that we inquired about. One person in our party what are the KC strip steak well done, it was not well done the waiter apologize took it back and brought back a well-done KC strip steak. No questions asked. I had the sea bass encrusted with macadamia nuts and it was very very good. The wife had the 28-day Aged filet mignon underwater, and she ate every bite of it, talking about how deliciously tender it was. I would go back again anytime truly a wonderful dining experience that I'm not used to.

The New Year's Day brunch was fabulous! Everything, from the avocado eggs Benedict to the prime rib and flambéed crepes, shrimp, oysters, and omelets, was delicious! Oh, and the bottomless mimosas. we were hosting a young couple on their honeymoon and our amazing waiter Christian asked for a special gift for the couple - 2 - 2025 champagne glasses! That was so special. Thanks for always being there for our special occasions.

This building and landscape is absolutely beautiful. The restaurant feels clean and the staff is very friendly. Definitely recommend reserving seats ahead of time as it seems to fill up fast. Booking online was super easy. We went for our anniversary and ordered champagne to be set up prior. They set out rose petals and gave us a seat close to the window with a stunning view, and even a yummy complimentary dessert. Brandon was our server and he did a phenomenal job, he was very informative on the restaurant and how things were cooked. I also appreciated the attention to detail on allergies as my husband has a serious allergy to red meat and pork and had no issues! 10/10, would love to come back again, thanks for a memorable anniversary!

This was the absolute highlight of my husband & I’s Branson “mini-moon”! We arrived just at sunset & took in the beautiful-beyond-words sky!! Everything about our evening was phenomenal. While certainly for us, this will be limited to special occasion outings (hey, we’re MO teachers!), we’re already dreaming of future anniversary dinner plans! Imee, our server, was incredible! Warm, humorous, down to earth, & so thoughtful! When she learned we were newlyweds, she surprised us with a complimentary dessert platter— assortments of all the options we couldn’t even decide on! Each course was an experience. Delicious, elegant, & truly: the best meal either of us has ever eaten! Well worth the investment, as the quality & atmosphere are unmatched. Unhurried, calm, relaxing, & oh so romantic! We’re grateful for a beautiful last meal of our little getaway! Thank you so much!! ❤️

Wow, just wow! First our wait staff was amazing. I think his name was Yakovic,( sorry if I butchered that buddy), and he was out of this world good to us. I had the special, 16oz bone- in filled and my wife had the 16 oz regular fillet with Brussel sprouts and fried fingerling potatoes 🥔. All super delicious and cooked to perfection. Oh, had pork belly appetizer and this is a MUST have there. So, so good. We can't wait to do back. It was all so delicious 😋

I had set up reservations for my girlfriend with champagne and rose petals set up at the table before arriving with a special happy birthday cake for dessert. Everything was perfect. The steaks were prepared perfectly and tasted amazing. All the sides were delicious, and the birthday cake was delicious and moist and not overwhelmingly sweet. I would highly recommend it.

A Sunset Symphony of Flavor and Atmosphere During a recent visit, I had the pleasure of experiencing a truly unforgettable dining moment that seamlessly blended culinary excellence with atmospheric charm. The highlight of the evening was a perfectly cooked tomahawk steak, served medium rare—succulent, flavorful, and expertly seasoned. Accompanied by velvety mashed potatoes, the dish was both comforting and indulgent. To complement the meal, I enjoyed a Tito’s strawberry martini, which added a refreshing and slightly sweet contrast to the richness of the steak. The pairing was thoughtful and elevated the overall dining experience. What truly set this evening apart was the outdoor seating, offering a breathtaking view of the sunset. As the sky transitioned through hues of gold and crimson, the gentle sound of bagpipes filled the air, creating a setting that was not only romantic but deeply serene and invigorating. This restaurant delivers more than just a meal—it offers an experience. From the impeccable food to the enchanting ambiance, I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable evening filled with flavor, beauty, and soul.

We had the 22oz rib eye, asparagus and lobster mac & cheese ended with the chocolate coffee cheesecake. The view is beautiful. The ambience was very lacking. We were celebrating our anniversary and dressed nice. The table next to us was 4 men that just finished playing golf. Our waiter seemed a little distracted. Our bill was $204 and paid $10 to enter Big Cedar and valet was a set price of $20. We highly recommend The Worman House

Osage is located in Top of the Rock, which is a gated area near Branson. There is a charge to enter and if you choose to not use the shuttles, there is an additional fee for parking near the restaurant as well. The grounds and view from the restaurant are truly spectacular. Rolling hills and canyons. Details in design are paid attention to here and that shows. Overall, the food was good but not totally outstanding. My favorite was the beet salad. I would recommend the steak too, but the short rib was tough and over powered by the apple cider vinegar it was marinated in. The sides were solid, typical steakhouse style- buttery corn and roasted Brussel sprouts. Washing this dinner down with $24 Old Fashions was steep (if you want them smoked there's an additional $4 charge) and caused us to imbibe in 1 drink each. The kids meals were good with standard options including chicken tenders, but I'd pass on the surprise sundae. It wasn't very exciting--- the surprise was whipped cream on top. Maybe just call it a sundae. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Consider booking a table by the window to take in the view and ordering the beet salad.

We wanted to take my mom out for a nice dinner for her 60th birthday while in Branson. We were so disappointed. First the service was horrible. The waiter would leave water glasses empty for extended periods of time. He took quite awhile to bring the wine & other beverages. He would seem very put out if we needed anything & rarely checked in on us. Food was terrible. The potatoes were cold, the lobster bisque was embarrassing (it was watered down & unseasoned. No bisque, more broth-like), salads had too much dressing, & overall most of our party were unhappy with the quality of food. My mom's 60th should have been special but it was a restaurant nightmare. (Also, no recognition of her birthday even though I said it when making the reservation AND reminded our waiter). This place is pricey & ambience is Missouri chic, but don't waste your time.

Let me tell you -- Osage Restaurant at Top of the Rock is not your average "birthday dinner." It's more like "someone cue the cinematic soundtrack because we're living in a resort commercial" kind of night. We came for my mom's 85th birthday, and she was absolutely glowing -- living her best life like it was her own red-carpet premiere. The staff treated her like VIP royalty -- I half expected them to roll out a red carpet and start a slow clap. Then came the moment -- that iconic sunset view over Table Rock Lake, paired with a live serenade by the bagpipes. Absolute masterpiece. The kind of goosebump-inducing, tear-in-your-eye moment that makes you forget every dinner you've ever had before this one. The food? Immaculate. The atrium? So stunning I forgot to check my phone (which says a lot). If you're lucky enough to snag a table here, consider it divine intervention. We'll be talking about this one forever. Thank you, Osage -- you nailed it.

This restaurant is beautiful and it knows it. I made a reservation as a guest of the hotel for our first night here and was easily able to have the concierge change it when we realized we needed a bit more time to get ready after driving from the lake and checking into our room. When we arrived we did not have to wait and were easily accommodated with our request for a room by the windows with a view. Our server was excellent and very efficient, professional and friendly. He took wonderful care of us and did not rush us at all. We tried a filet, the Brussel sprouts and a wedge salad. We also ordered my daughter a pizza from their children's options which came as a huge and delicious flat bread that we both thought was wonderful. We walked around and enjoyed the view, visited the Buffalo Bar, and took some photos all while waiting for our food. Our server said it happens all the time so he paced the meal and waited to bring the fresh bread until we returned from the view so it was hot and warm. Food was delicious - service was excellent, and the view is stunning. It is aptly named bc you are on the top of the rock with a view for miles and miles of Table Rock Lake.

This entire restaurant/bar/shuttle situation at Osage,Top of The Rock is so unorganized and chaotic- The "nice dinner/upper scale" part was a total let down. Made reservations months in advance because we're on a road trip and requested table with a view, we got seated behind the only obstruction in the place (big fire place) Ordered their birthday cake for a friend and they couldn't be bothered to clean the table prior to it being brought out. Food wasn't terrible, but the service was so far below what you would expect when paying the amount it costs to eat here. We couldn't even finish appetizers before they were bringing out dinner then to add to the rushed feeling, the waiter tossed boxes on the table for us to bag up our leftovers. It wasn't even close to an elevated experience. Wouldn't recommend if you're celebrating a birthday or something of that nature.

The Thanksgiving day buffet was truly forgettable! The desserts were great, but the rest not...and the food stations were scattered out all over and we didn't even find one of them until we were leaving. Service was so-so they make you pre-pay so everybody got their tip ahead of time. We spent $260 for two people (without drinks) and should have just gotten takeout from Cracker Barrel. At least then we would've had leftovers!

We didn't have a ton of options for food on top of the rock, so settled in here to eat. I know it's Holiday weekend, but at 58 dollars an adult plate, you would think that they could keep the food stocked up? My 5 year old didn't like anything... the only thing she ate was the waffles... and they were empty. The black berries were mushy (so she wouldn't eat that either) the only thing I ate was Cesar salad and my husband said the eggs didn't taste well either. The best thing about this meal was the dessert. I will say that when I asked for suggestions about what kids eat, they didn't recommend anything... but did end up removing the cost of my daughter's meal... because she didn't eat. I would have appreciated more kid friendly food options... especially when it's one of two options... although I never actually saw the other option.

While visiting Branson my family took the golf cart tour and had a beautiful sunset dinner at The Osage. The aged filet was the best steak I have ever had! The bag pipe and canon ceremony were a special treat.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 34th wedding anniversary dinner of steak, brusselsprouts, mushrooms and scallops. The service was fabulous (ask for the waitperson from Ukraine). The ambiance was magnificent. Be sure to sit by a window to watch the sun go down. It is a bit pricey, but for a special occasion, easily justified! Maybe next year for our 35th!

We went for the buffet. They often ran out of items that were not quickly replaced. The staff was very nice, but the food was really, really bad. I hate to say that, but it was all bad except the desserts. For the price, you would expect better. Even acceptable, but no. I ate little, said nothing, and left. It didn't help that the guy carving kept a constant rambling dialogue about the "O.G.". Stop that, and serve the food. The buffet arrangement has no real flow, and people were running into each other, going different directions. Maybe just not have a buffet. At least not there.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. We look forward to coming here every year after we pick our kids up from camp. I made a reservation a week prior without issue and we were seated in the Atrium by the windows. Our server, Inee, was lovely and attentive. We ordered the Spinach dip (always a favorite), the lamb (cooked perfectly), the lobster mac and cheese (my son is obsessed), the lobster bisque, the elk soup, and a Caesar salad (you have to keep the anchovies!). The bread service is always so delicious- their butter can't be beat. We also were surprised with a birthday 'sundae' for our son's 11th birthday, plus an extra serving of butter cake for the adults. Watching the sun go down over the lake with a glass of wine and their amazing food comes at a premium, it's quite expensive. However, there is nothing I look forward to more every year and I do think the overall experience is completely worth it.

Fantastic views and excellent food and service! We celebrated a belated Mother's Day for my wife and my mom, as well as the birthday of our (now) 8 year old son! We ate brunch on Sunday. The buffet was excellent with a large variety of charcuterie, fresh fruits/granola/yogurt, seafood, breakfast favorites - some with a twist and some other excellent brunch/entree items. They had a crepe station and omlet station too. Pricey - yet quite a wonderful spread to choose from with great service in a clean, comfortable environment with gorgeous views and fantastic native artwork and artifacts to add to the aesthetic.

Our server was fabulous. The food was 10/10 & the views were magnificent. Brussel sprouts were like candy, cooked to perfection. Center cut filet melted in our mouths, so good! Sun down music and canon was a great show. Could not get enough of the view.

Serenity was the best waitress ever. She got us seated quickly and served us perfectly. If I ever come back, I will ask for her. The 28 day aged fillet was phenomenal. The asparagus was perfect and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. This is one of the better meals of all time.

We had our 17th anniversary dinner here recently. We went early so we could enjoy the sunset celebration. A great westward view with bagpipes playing and a cannon firing as the sun dips below the distance horizon. We started with a drink in the bar, then moved to the dining room. The grilled artichoke appetizer was fantastic, I highly recommend it. My wife enjoyed her entree of sea bass and my steak was cooked perfectly. It was an enjoyable un-rushed evening for us. We look forward to returning soon

The views from Osage are gorgeous! Our server was lovely and offered many suggestions for our dinner. We started with the baked Brie and we both really enjoyed it. Bread service was brought over about half way thru our appetizer - a little wonky on the timing, but ok. The herb honey butter was great, bread just so so. We moved to our main courses; I had the scallops and they were done perfectly. My husband had the mushroom pasta. I tried it, and it just wasn't for me. He said it was good, but not great. My side of truffle mushrooms were ok, just didn't have enough flavor for me. I tried the Mac n cheese and it was pretty good! We both enjoyed the dessert. If you're in the area, it's worth the drive!!!

So we were in town for a concert and decided to spurge and go to Osage Restaurant's Sunday Brunch. You need to know that you will pay $10 to enter Top of the Rock. Then you can either stop at the Visitor Center and catch a shuttle for free or park there and pay $27 to Valet Park. There is no free parking. The building and restaurant are gorgeous and the view spectacular. The service is wonderful and the wait staff were the best I have had in a long while. They were attentive our needs and fully on point. We were treated like kings and queens. Loved the service. There are lots of amazing choices and we really tried during the 2-1/2 hours we were there to sample everything. The crepe's station was fun and they were amazing. The charcuterie station was meh, but also fun. Omelette station was wonderful and what you would expect. They had a prime rib carving station. Good meet, well cooked, but not kept warm; so it was cold when served. Then there was the normal buffet breakfast fare. All good. I really liked the thick cut bacon. Chicken and waffles were a hit with my adult kids. Their take on eggs Benedict was a spectacular fail. The egg was hard boiled with no sauce and a soggy English muffin. The cold seafood station was great with oysters, scallop, and shrimp. They needed to pay more attention on the preparation since the scallops and oysters all had sand still on them. Made for an interesting and familiar crunch. The rest of the lunch menu was okay, but only fair. Dessert was interesting and fun; lots of bite size tarts, cakes, and cookies. At $58 per person, the bill before tip was $260; with a 25% tip that was well earned the bill came to a whopping number. Don't forget entrance fee and valet parking. We came for the experience and enjoyed the atmosphere and service. But I am not sure the food was worth the price point of a fine dining steak and seafood dinner for four.

Went to Osage for dinner tonight. Our server had a very large table and us. He was seemingly not in a good mood. When filling out the reservation form, there are options to make notes and check off food allergies. I did this and when we arrived the server was so blasé about it and emphasized how I could have a salad because everything else is soaked in butter. I had to ask him to take the initiative to speak to the chef. I was given the option of salmon or shrimp and was brought six shrimp on a plate. I had to ask if they would modify the house salad. The only reason for the three stars is that my husband's and stepdaughter's food was very well prepared and they enjoyed it. The ambiance is lovely and if you have an interest in Native Tribal history you will enjoy the pieces throughout the restaurant. Overall, for $300 (no alcohol consumed), I expected more from a restaurant that specifically asks patrons about allergies in advance and then does very little to accommodate them.

I truly am blown away at the lack of service we received at this restaurant. We celebrated by fiancé's birthday on April 20th and the service was so bad, I had wrote a note on the receipt for the server to see. We had a reservation and told them we were celebrating a birthday and our recent engagement which is why we were told we would get a window table. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. We felt a bit rushed when ordering and we told our waiter that we were going to try and slow down our ordering so we could enjoy our dinner, we were met with "well, we typically wait to put in an order once the soup gets to the table, but do what you want" which was a bit snarky and that was the only time we had an issue with the way he was talking. However, we were checked on 4 times in a span of 2 hours (1 of those times was to give us the bill). We were constantly asking other waiters to fill up our drinks, waters, asking for a steak knife, and asking for more bread. Our assigned waiter would be gone 20-30 minutes at a time. The last time he checked on us before giving the bill, he left to get the bill and containers for left overs. 25 minutes later, we got the bill and had to wait 7 more minutes for the containers he forgot. He said he would fill up my water without me asking him and he came back 30 minutes later saying "oh shoot that slipped my mind" when he saw my still empty glass. This service is what l expect when I find myself in a mediocre restaurant, not a place where I'm spending over $300 for a 2 person dinner. We are extremely disappointed in our experience and astounded with the lack of service. Which was incredibly disappointing because we really enjoyed the food, but the service was so subpar we don't see ourselves coming back. We felt like our waiter was providing exceptional service for larger parties (we physically saw him over there every 5 minutes while neglecting us) and threw us to the wayside. We asked for the Manager to speak about our experience but no one ever came. I am hoping this flags the management's attention so we can finally chat about the lack of service we received here. Will update with anything that happens....

The gate attendant on duty at 7:30pm on October 21 thought it was a hilarious prank that our GPS, working from the address on the Osage Restaurant web page, took us not to the restaurant, but to Big Cedar Lodge, forcing us to backtrack in the dark over that entrance road's unlit collection of blind hills and curves, until we finally found the actual entrance to the restaurant. "Well you know, that goofy GPS, nobody EVER trusts that, not our fault, hahaha," the gate attendant said, instead of, "Sorry about the trouble, I'll let my boss know that the Osage address should be on the restaurant's front page, not buried behind it." Then she charged us the ten-dollar penalty for not booking an overpriced room at the Big Greeder Lodge, which earned us the privilege of driving up the hill to Osage and paying another $20-plus-tip to have our car parked for approximately 60 minutes. Thirty bucks so far, and we haven't eaten a bite. The Center Cut Filet with Stilton Cheese was perfect. The Mushroom Bolognese was a pound of sauce-laden noodles containing the fragments of approximately two-and-a-half actual mushrooms. They were hiding in there somewhere, and it became a game to find them. Then we got the bill. I had asked for a single large ice cube in my scotch-rocks. They charged me a dollar for it. I'm not kidding. I'd provide a picture of the receipt, but I didn't think to save the itemized portion of it. Here's the thing: when the sun goes down, Osage is just another steak house, but one that costs $10 to enter, $20+ to park, and $1 for 3.5 cubic inches of frozen water, in a pretentious atmosphere laden with (toxic?) wood-fired oven smoke and smug staff. If that's your thing, great. I prefer my steak without the greed-spiced topping and pretentious au jus.

The views were STUNNING. I felt like I was in a High School Musical movie as we were so high up. Lots of options for the buffet lunch as well. My faves had to be the beef skewers (perfectly cooked), berry french toast with the yogurt dressing & olives! The shrimp cocktails (not pictured) were also fresh. The server was also so so nice as well - she was so sweet, accommodating, patient and provided the beverages (diet coke + coffee) when my friend and I needed them!

Able to make a reservation on short notice! You can valet park for $15 or self park and take a shuttle. Note the shuttle can be crowded and warm. Know there is a Fee to get onto the complex, $10 per car. We arrived at the restaurant and there is indoor and outdoor seating. The views are amazing. The service is good. We had to wait a few minutes for the table. Ordering was easy, fast. Drink and wine options, soda. Started with the shrimp cocktail. Shrimp was fresh. Clean. The cocktail sauce was unique, more on the ketchup side. The filet was tasty. Good seasoning, a bit of sauce. More sauce would've been better. Butter on top. The steak was slightly over temp but ok. The onions on the side were good too. The sides were great. The potatoes were crispy and tasty. My favorite. The Brussels had a nice sauce and were also very good. The asparagus were fine. The blueberry lemon gooey butter cake with vanilla ice cream was a winner. I'm a fan of gooey butter and this was delish. Highly recommend. After dinner, take a walk around the grounds. Amazing views. The food was good. The dessert was my fav. The sides were my second fav. Recommend.

The ambiance and customer service was absolutely amazing at the Osage Restaurant! We parked in free parking (after we paid a $10 park entry fee), and then rode the shuttle to the Osage restaurant. The food was good, but for the price I expected more. There are plenty of options (prime rib, omelettes, chicken and waffles, etc) but the quality of the food was average. Not sure I'd rather for the price.

This place is as special as the other attractions in the "Top of the Rock" complex. It's a high end restaurant but very much worth the experience. The good side: - it's located in the same complex of: 1. "Lost Cave and Nature Trail" and 2. Museum, both very highly recommended. The views are one of the bests in the area. - If you get your reservation for the sunset time, the views are amazing. From the terrace and inside the restaurant. It's all windows so you actually have about 280 degrees view. - the food was very tasty and fresh. They have a good selection of chicken, fish and stake, and the sides are separate but sharable by 2 or 3. - plates like in any high end place ranged from $36 to ~$79, with the sides mostly around $12-17. - they have a good selection of wines and cocktails but cocktails are about $21, which you can get a good bottle of wine for $46. - it's good for large and small parties, and our server was polite and prompt with the service. The not so good: - there is no self parking, so you have to pay $10 to park inside near the "welcome center" and take the shuttle, or $20 and do valet parking. - there is not much to do between 2 and 4 pm (that the bars and restaurants open). The nearby coffee shops close around 3pm. - I felt a bit rushed, as soon as we ordered dessert they brought the check, which for me it's a bit unnecessary.

We have not eaten at this location since the rebuild as we don't get back to the Branson area often. The views and the buildings are still amazing. The food, especially given the prices, was not what we envisioned. We were expecting much more and had planned this as a special night out on our vacation. The food was so-so (yes, even the steak) and the dessert (ooey gooey butter cake which I usually love) was marginal. We were disappointed.

We reserved the SUNSET dinner, a pre fix multi course feast. We didn't have much info to go on, it wasn't exactly explained very well on the website but it did include the menu. Here's the deal: 1. You have to pay to get in $10 to Top of the Rock plus pay $20 for Valet. (Or you can take a shuttle from farther away and only pay $10) 2. This is NOT an intimate couples only table setting! This is...sit with a bunch of strangers potentially and dine "family style" being that it was our anniversary and we wanted an intimate setting we explained we had no idea it was like that and asked to be sat alone. They did sit us separately but it is a huge table. 3. This DOES include all the wine you want while you dine. It didn't say that online. 4. You do NOT have to choose just one entree or just one side... you get ALL OF THE FOOD ON THE MENU! It was insane how much food you are given. 5. Strange rule IMO but you cannot take any leftovers with you...even though my husband and I asked to sit alone and dined just the two of us they claimed for health reasons and food sitting out they could not pack it up. NOT happy when I spent $350-$400 for two people and there's still a ton of food left. 6. The views are incredible but honestly seemed better higher up in the regular restaurant. The only cool thing was that it was private and you have the infinity pool with gorgeous statue in it directly in front of you and it is barricaded off so no one can just walk up. 7. Service was excellent and of course tip is not included with prepaid reservations. So bring cash. 8. Even though I called day's ahead to notify them of my allergy and the special occasion...pretty sure they put it on the wrong reservation. I had to tell them again while there and double check menu items. The chef was accommodating and prepared one dish without my food allergen BUT no staff members knew to make the cocktail without it as well and luckily I double checked ingredients. Communication seems to be an issue with this large establishment. 9. The food: when you're paying TOP dollar for fine food you expect perfection. Everything was done well BUT I will say temps were a little issue, crab cake and filet were slightly cold and I truly prefer all of my food piping hot. Most everything tasted great. Fingerling potatoes were slightly undercooked. All of that said, it was a memorable experience and truly felt special.

The dinner in the Atrium at Osage Restaurant was a magical experience. The ambience, delectable food, wine and having an excellent waiter made for an exceptional evening! We will cherish this memory.

Big Cedar Lodge has a few options for dinning, including bars, grills, a fine lounge, and this Osage Restaurant, at Top of the Rock, and very next to The End of the Trail, a sculpture by James Earle Fraser, at Infinity Pool. The whole accommodations area is some kind of old and luxury resort, while such high-end (expensive) restaurant is definitely part of the experience. It would be wise to reserve an earlier dinner (before the sunset), and then to explore Chapel of the Ozarks and watch an on-site show. Other than surrounding activities and resort itself, the menu is typical and should not be any disappointment with the food and services.

Wonderful server, very nice, but the wait time was terrible, prices are crazy for what the food is. Really got to order food at 10 pm, when our reservation was 9 pm.
