Fun day trip, takes a little over an hour out there, you’re likely to see a moose on the drive. The natural rock lake is a favorite and the restaurant serves fresh veggies all year powered by geo-thermal energy. You can tour the thermal plant and the greenhouse too.

Food scene
For a romantic night out, it doesn't get much better than this. The service is slow and relaxing, and the food is delicious. They have the most impressive wine-selection in town and with each entry comes a wine recommendation. My favorite entry is the lamb chops.
