Here's what the site had to say about the most beautiful restaurant in Missouri:
"Part of Big Cedar Lodge's Top of the Rock Ozarks Heritage Preserve, Osage Restaurant has a breathtaking setting on a bluff overlooking the mountains and Table Rock Lake, plus rustically elegant decor. Chucky wooden tables surround a cylindrical fireplace, which forms the glowing heart of the circular room, while artwork decorates the walls. Huge windows bring the outside in, with the views especially spectacular at sunset. The chef's signature lobster mac 'n' cheese is a must-try."
