The Lodge’s Signature Table
Eighteen99 is the current signature restaurant inside The Lodge at Cloudcroft. It replaced Rebecca’s as the Lodge’s named dining room and now serves as the property’s fine-dining anchor — a chef-driven restaurant with a changing dinner menu, reservation-based service, and a linked lounge.
This is the Lodge’s effort to re-establish itself as a destination dining room rather than just a hotel restaurant. The practical point is straightforward: Eighteen99 is the clearest special-occasion dining room in Cloudcroft. It’s aimed at guests looking for a slower dinner, mountain views, cocktails, and a more formal meal than the village’s casual cafés, bakeries, or barbecue spots.
Executive Chef Richard Lepree is publicly tied to the restaurant’s recent culinary reset, and local coverage frames the operation as part of a broader revival at The Lodge.

Best Fit For
Date Nights & Celebrations
This is the clearest special-occasion restaurant in Cloudcroft. Date nights, anniversary dinners, and celebration meals are what the setting and service style are built for.
Lodge Guests & Visitors
Guests staying at The Lodge have the easiest access, but Eighteen99 is open to non-guests as well. It’s a destination meal for travelers who want more than a quick dinner.
Good to Know
Limited dinner days and a shorter evening window than many city restaurants. Not the right fit for casual drop-in diners expecting a broad all-day menu.
