I had bison and tortellini that was out of this world! It's a very small venue and intimate. The music is onpoint. Hands down would visit again!

This was one of the best meals I?ve had in a long time. The pork belly appetizer was incredible. Lobster bisque was outstanding. Tortellini wascooked to perfection. Brussel sprouts were good. The staff was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. This is a must stop ifyou?re in the area. The tasty ice cream next door is a nice bonus too.

Both dishes were perfectly prepared. We paired our dishes with a well-made Mai Tai. The food wasdelicious and the atmosphere was great. Our waitstaff was very attentive and made sure everything was to our liking. Dessertcame in the form of a house made gluten free chocolate torte and an avocado chocolate torte. Both were delicious!

Chef John escaped the Michelin grind of Denver to create this masterpiece in the mountains.We were so blown away by the food he came out to chat for a bit and go over some of what we just enjoyed. Great for the lastmeal of a trip if you are looking to hang an exclamation point on the end. I went with the Colorado Lamb Chops with Bison Demi,I still dream about them regularly.

We were never contacted with either an apology or excuse. We plan to never eat there again.
