"Inside the dining room, night after night, the Restaurant at Convict Lake is doing something almost no other place for miles is doing: offering a classic fine dining dinner with all the Continental trappings, from French-style escargot to tableside desserts with a fiery flourish."
"To reach the restaurant, all it takes is a long drive along the interminable U.S. Route 395, through shallow granite valleys and then west toward the sunset. Eventually, you'll find it, almost at the base of a towering mountain named after a man who should have never been killed."
"The two paragraphs share a brief retelling of the 'unfortunate incident' at Convict Lake, as it's described, which 'led to the ironic naming of this beautiful area.'"
