Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Copper

The menu is great! We also enjoy the specials. The food is always prepared perfectly and the service is exceptional! Blue River Bistro is our favorite restaurant in Breckenridge!

Found The Carlin through Trip Advisor & was impressed with the menu, the pictures of the food, and the reviews. Booked a 6:15 reservation for two at the Counter. When we arrived, I loved the curb appeal - string lights around the front and a beautiful walk up to the front doors. We were a few minutes late, but the hostess was accommodating and took us to our seats. The Counter is in front of about 4 chefs who were working hard when we sat down. Our waitress, Birdie, was super cool, knew the most popular dishes on the menu and shared her personal favorites, which helped us to decide on appetizers, main course and dessert. We had the pickled mussels (weird sounding, but oddly good), the butter lettuce salad that had a citrus honey vinaigrette that was OUTSTANDING, the braised short rib, and one of the fresh catches of the day. My husband loved his old fashioned and his red wine (I can’t really drink at altitude, unfortunately) and since we couldn’t decide on a dessert to share, we got two - the bread pudding and the key lime pie. The flavors in all of these dishes were great and thoughtful. Totally enjoyed the experience and would definitely return!

The Spanish Octopus and Iberian Duroc Pork were simply divine. The Whipped Feta was a novelty but at the end of the day, it was just a lump of feta cheese and can be missed. The Sticky Toffee Pudding cake was delicious but a little too sweet for my taste. All of the food were presented beautifully. As for the service, it was prompt and attentive. However, I didn't like the fact that the restaurant added a 3% surcharge to the bill for "staff pay". That seemed cheesy. I would have preferred that 3% to be included in the menu prices instead of a separate line item. Overall, I would still recommend Sweet Basil for special occasions.

We loved our dinner! My boyfriend is from Germany and said it was the best German he’s had since he moved to the US last year. Thanks for making it such a special meal to celebrate his birthday!

This was our first visit to Legends. We loved it! The surroundings were gorgeous. The staff was a delight. The food was scrumptious. This was our last night in Breckenridge. I am glad we spent it here. Luckily, I was the winner of a bet, so it didn't even affect my pocketbook. My in-laws wanted to bet dinner on the Superbowl, so thanks again for picking up the tab. It's not all bad for him, though, as I paid for my dessert. The carrot cake was a great bonus to dinner! All in all, I will definitely visit again next time I am in town.
