William Tell Restaurant
The William Tell Restaurant is a Thornton favorite, for tourists and locals alike. The building is reminiscent of the restored, historic homes in the area, and has a large fireplace in the dining room. A cozy lounge serves wine, micro brews, and mixed drinks. The restaurant has a Swiss theme, and the menu plays off of this, with many European-inspired dishes, like fondue, venison meatloaf, weiner schnitzel, and sauer braten. This is a great place to stop in for a bite after a day of golfing at Thornton's Jack O' Lantern golf course.
