    Gratis table bread (focaccia).
    Athena M.

    Went here with some friends who knew all the staff and Chef Barry who was working. We sat at the bar and had an absolutely incredible meal and drinks. The gratis table bread is the best, fluffiest focaccia I've ever had. My husband had the Caesar salad to start and the braised short rib ravioli and said it was fantastic. Pro tip: save a slice of bread to soak up the sauce off your plate. I had the mixed greens salad to start and the potato gnocchi in truffle cream sauce. Omg drool. The gnocchi were pillowy but had a nice sear - the best combination. Christopher made exceptional cocktails and of all the ones I tried, my favorite was the You're Gold You're Mine. A fun touch is that they have an Old Fashioned cart they bring out when you order one and there's a smoker which filled the air with campfire aroma and magic!

    Positives first: The service was very good. Our waitress, Marian, was pleasant, attentive, and knowledgeable throughout the evening. The drinks were also well done. I ordered the tableside smoked Old Fashioned, which was surprisingly tasty--I usually find the smoking aspect to be more novelty than substance. Areas needing improvement: The steak tartare itself was good; however, the accompaniments were under-portioned relative to the amount of tartare. The bread served with it was basic toasted white bread, which felt underwhelming for a restaurant at this level. The New Year's Eve prime rib special was inconsistent--warm around the edges but cold in the center. Now for the disappointing part: I ordered the sea bass, which arrived cold and frozen in the middle. I returned the dish, and our waitress was extremely apologetic. Unfortunately, by the time an update was provided--about 30 minutes later--we were told another sea bass would take an additional 30 minutes to prepare. By then, everyone else at the table had finished their meals, so I had no choice but to cancel my order and go without dinner. To her credit, the waitress did offer us a dessert in an effort to make things right. With a bill exceeding $300, I would expect a much higher level of quality control. For a restaurant at this price point, these issues shouldn't occur. That said, I would be open to giving 980 another chance. I understand that things can go wrong, especially on a busy night like New Year's Eve. Cheers.

    980 Prime completely exceeded my expectations. The space itself is absolutely beautiful, way nicer than I was expecting. It really sets the tone for an amazing dining experience. Every dish we ordered was high quality and delicious. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly, incredibly tender and flavorful. The Caesar salad was spot-on (it really was as it should be haha!) the steak tartare was excellent, and the broccolini was a great complement to the meal. The fried calamari was good (I personally would've loved it a bit crispier), but still very enjoyable. Dessert was a highlight: the cheesecake was fantastic, and the flambé banana dessert completely surprised me, I don't even like bananas, and I loved it. The show was awesome, very nice flambé person lol. We did have a small issue with a dish I didn't mention, but the staff handled it flawlessly. They immediately agreed with us, took it off the bill, and made the situation completely stress-free. Zero issues. On top of the incredible food, the staff truly made the night. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Overall, an outstanding experience from start to finish. We will absolutely be back! This place has some high prices but I definitely recommend coming with a plan to spend money so you can try all their amazing dishes.

    Celebrating 90th Birthday at my favorite restaurant in Cripple Creek. Been enjoying their food, service, ambience for many years,,,since they opened. Izzy, host seated us at our table of choice. Harmony, drink mixologist greeted is with a welcome Happy Birthday. The event was excellent....my wife and I were provided with a large table, enough room for all the foods we ordered and our friends who came by at times. We ordered a chilled bottle to Presco and appetizers, each perfect. We were honored with visits from Marketing Director, Wendy Field, Personal Casino Host Wendi Vinson and Chamonix Vice President and General Manager, Brandon Lenssen. Our attentive service person, Heidi was and is a treasure. She waited patiently for our menu choices, while our guests were telling us stories and I in turn gave pointed notes about living to 90, enjoying good health. We enjoyed warm assorted breads, oysters, salad and a most succulent 24 ounce steak with wine sauce. All at the level of perfection. The event was capped with many photos, chilled Presco and the most beautiful 90th year cake. This was prepared by the very talented pastry chef, Johnny Iuzzni, who is a James Beard Winner. Other patrons asked about this fabulous cake we shared with them. Happiness all around.

    980 Prime is where you want to be if you want a higher-end steakhouse experience. When you arrive, the vibe is similar to what you would experience in Chicago or New York. My wife and I recently visited for our 22 anniversary while staying at the Chamonix Casino Hotel. We were greeted by several members of the team and were welcomed with a glass of champagne and a warm anniversary wish from the manager. Everyone was great! We ordered the steak tartare to start and inquired about the old-fashioned cart. Soon, both were at our table. The steak tartare was excellent, only lacking a little salt, but it was delicious. We found the fresh bread they brought to the table was better with this than the brioche they served it with. The cocktail cart was a lot of fun, and the guy making the drinks was very personable and entertaining. He also made a wonderful OF, and the sassafras smoke added just a little more. We went on to entrees, where she ordered the surf and turf, and I ordered the 12oz--40-day aged ribeye. We also ordered the gnocchi. Everything arrived within a reasonable amount of time and looked delicious. Her meal was perfect, cooked to perfection and sooo good. Mine, unfortunately, was overcooked and had to be redone. It was not a huge deal, but we could not enjoy our meal together. I didn't want hers to be cold when mine returned. They quickly fixed it, but it put a damper on the evening. They were very apologetic, but it was what it was. After I finished my steak, which was great the second time around, we ordered the F'N chocolate cake. This was huge and super-rich. We asked them to box up about half of it, and we enjoyed it at the rooftop pool with a bottle of wine later that night. All in all, it was a pretty good experience. However, a steakhouse that can't hit its temps when charging a premium is pretty disappointing. The other thing that I found frustrating is that on the hotel website, they offer $100 off at the restaurant when staying with them. It's kind of tacky that this wasn't advertised to us by either the hotel or the restaurant, but I found it days later.

    The food, service, and ambiance at 980 Prime was outstanding. Everything was flavored and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend the Oysters, Rib Cap, and the Potato Gnocchi. Those three dishes will be the ones I return to each time we dine. Thankful to finally have a fine dining establishment in Cripple Creek!

    Great experience! Old Fashions were some of the best I've ever had. Wine selection was great, steaks and Chilean Sea Bass were prepared perfectly. Service and ambiance was topnotch!

    Walked in at 5 on a Saturday and were seated relatively quickly. Waited for a server for 15minutes…read moreand watched multiple parties be sat and greeted before I finally had to go ask a hostess for someone to help us. My husband asked what scotches and whiskeys they had (there was no menu listing) and the waiter replied "Well, pretty much everything. What do you want?". My husband then says Maker's Mark and our waiter says "Uhhh that one doesn't sound familiar, but I'm not a drinker so I'm not sure. What else would you prefer?". The whole conversation just was not really helpful on the waiter's behalf at all. My husband ended up gettin a crown on the rocks and the drink he brought to the table was the tiniest pour I have ever seen in a restaurant. I later realized that there was no bartender behind the bar at all and that the wait staff was pouring their drinks with no sense or measurement tools in sight. That would explain the sad pour. We ordered the "stew for two" and the Caesar salad both of which were very good. Unfortunately, the ribeye fell short and the seafood Champaign pasta was flavorless. Having worked at a fine dining steakhouse for 3 years, both the service and food proved disappointing. The only reason I am giving 3 starts instead of 2 is that our meal was comped from our food credits. We will not be returning sadly.

    We went back here during the most recent ice festival. The original review is below. Pretty much…read morehow I remember the last time. However have to say that the fillet mignon Oscar and the strip steak with blue cheese we're pretty good. One thing that hasn't changed is though you're ordering a high $30 meal but you get plastic ramekins. Just doesn't seem to make sense :-). The waitress was absolutely sweet and attentive. Original review Big group of friends last night at Winfields. Not the best steak house nor the worst. Most of our party seemed happy with the food and service. I dropped one star primarily based on two areas. One being the young waitress was not very versed on the menu details and cocktail selection & the other was all of the baked potato fixings and butter where served in cheap, disposable plastic ramekins that you would find in a McDonalds not a high end steak house.

Mind you this is a very small restaurant and the section they were seating was only five steps away. We said OK then we will find somewhere else to have lunch and the lady at the front said "fine". We thought maybe this was just a bad experience try it again this morning for breakfast. We again asked if we could be seated by the window and the greeter said "sorry, we are not seating that section." We explained our experience from yesterday and she "sorry, those are just the rules". We accepted that and were seated. To our shock, 20 seconds later, she seated a couple by the window, where she had just told us they are not seating! We asked to speak with the manager, who came out. She interrupted me as I was telling her about our experience and said "we can seat you now by the window." We picked up our own glasses, silverware, and napkins ourselves and moved over by the where she said we could sit. We then proceeded to wait over 15 minutes and no one ever came to wait on us. Several other people entered the restaurant, were seated and waited on. Finally, we got the message that we would not receive service. We exited without anyone asking us a thing. As a small business owner and frequent diner , I would be appalled at this type of service. I find it hard to believe that this would be acceptable to any restaurant owner. We will never be back and will certainly share our negative and unwelcoming experiences with others.
