The filet was tough and very small. The side of vegetables was overcooked and bland. The server Justin was very attentive and polite The food quality was just unacceptable.

Excellent food, drinks and service as always. The dessert special of chocolate peanut butter cake was top notch. Our favorite restaurant in Grand County! Just be sure to have a reservation since we usually see people turned away without one.

A wonderful place year in and year out. Unusual recipes and presentation. And, well, a tavern atmosphere! Two reservations. The food is wildly overpriced. $60 for a steak that is of no special quality, even though locally sourced. And cooked fine, but not better that you can do at home if you are a good home cook, which many of us are. And $20 for a martini even though a call liquor!! That's about what the Waldorf Astoria charges and that's exorbitant there. All said, we knew it was going to cost and we enjoyed our meal there. Attentive, responsive service.

Came here on the recommendation of a friend, and was definitely not disappointed. We were seated immediately, and the service was tremendously friendly. We ordered the mussels with MeuniËre broth and it was so good we started eating the broth like soup! For entrees we ordered the El Chingon and the We're In The Wild Meatloaf. Both were so good that we couldn't decide which was better. The chef here is a genius with the blending of flavors...a truly incredible meal all around. We'll be back next time we're back in Colorado!

Reservations are a must to eat. It is worth it. Sunday would be less busy. Their wine list is great, cocktails made correctly. Service is professional. I love the appetizers and entrees are unique and prepared as described on menu. It may seem pricey, but worth the total experience.

The food is good but they have raised the prices since last year when I went there and the portions shrunk 20 percent in my opinion. Great Service!

Top level in Tabernash! Always warm and inviting- and attention to detail is upfront before you even get to the food: hanging porch plants with autumnal themes, a flickering candle at the entrance- all part of the experience that is clearly thoughtful. The food is consistently fantastic with daily specials and generous portions. Also appreciate the varied cocktail options including mocktails for the teetotalers. Great night out!
