On poor-weather days, seating is available in the shelter. In extreme conditions the restaurant may close entirely.
While you're up here
Alpino Vino sits higher still, at the top of Gold Hill Express on See Forever — you'll pass it on the way over from Lift 14. Gorrono Ranch is the other way, mid-mountain under Lift 4, where lunch comes with live music and a deck full of chairs.
