"Experiencing supper at the Golden Spruce was truly a 5 star experience! My wife had the Tri Tip Sandwich with sweet potato fries. I had the Bacon Cheeseburger with fries. Both were top notch in flavor and appearance! The owners were very personable and informative about the area. The octagonal log building with a major center support post and vaulted ceiling made it open and airy! The log structure and the owners emanated warmth!"
