This had to be one of the greatest meat meals of my life. We were in Mt Crested Butte, an amazing…read moremountain town with an adorable downtown dotted with great dining. 212 Elk Ave is the location of the aptly named 212 restaurant. They specialize in live fire cooking and we were lucky enough to get a booth right across from the action as you will see in the pics. They use a mix of red and white oak to control the heat along with a series of movable grill plates. We started with a delicious Strawberry Salad that also had watermelon radish and delicate greens lightly tossed in a vinaigrette. Coming from Arizona, I had to try the Pozole and thrilled I did. The rich red broth gave light to the chili heart of this very complex liquid. The pozole had great texture and the shredded pork was tender and outstanding. An excellent example of this favorite dish. The most amazing entree was the main course. It was a shareable Half Elk Rack. While I like medium rare, when it was brought to the table, I thought it might be too rare. As soon as I tasted it, I realized it was perfection. It was so tender and the chew was great, especially on the end pieces that had an incredible bark on the outside. Elk is an extremely lean dish so to add some unctuous notes, they take Fois Gras, and as the fat renders, add huckleberries before putting it in a blender to create a heavenly base. We couldn't resist dragging every bite across the serving plate to savor the magic. As a side dish, we ordered the squash which was also perfectly roasted over the live fire and complimented the dish.

We went here for our anniversary dinner and were treated to the front row table inside the…read morerestaurant. To start, I got the SUMMER LOVIN' mocktail - it was refreshing and delicious! I liked how it actually had N/A liquor in it. My husband got the SECRET GARDEN - loved the lavender earl gray. For a starter, we split the BAHN MI QUAIL - super inventive, never had quail before. Kind of hard to eat around the small bones but loved the stuffed flavors! For dinner, we shared two dishes: ELK SAUSAGE & PEPPERS PASTA and PORK CHOP. The pasta was very so-so, nothing that blew me away. However, the pork chop was super tasty - loved the sauce. For dessert, we shared limoncello sorbet - perfect amount of refreshing and loved the fun strawberry powder! Our server was super nice and attentive. Really nice experience overall!

When we first arrived, the hostess let us know that they were experiencing staffing issues…read moreinforming us that the food/service might take a little bit longer, but that they'd be happy to get us seated. The patio was gorgeous, and the food was my favorite meal I had while visiting Crested Butte! I was amazed at how quickly we were helped, especially considering them being short staffed on top of them hosting a wedding party. I mostly wanted to leave a review because our server (I believe his name was Daniel) was incredible. As somebody who works in food service, it can feel like a lot of pressure to tend to each guest, but he was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our entire meal! I asked him for a recommendation between 2 brews I was deciding on, and even after I said I trusted his judgment, he STILL brought me both options for me to try, so that I could decide for myself. He recommended we also add the cheese fondue for the pretzel we got as an appetizer, and I would trust the man with my life... lol. I experienced firsthand how wonderful of a server he was, and was absolutely appalled by the treatment he received from the guests at the table next to us. I understand things happen and communication can be difficult when there's so much going on, but they were giving the server a hard time when they received a drink they supposedly hadn't ordered. The server was able to get it removed from their bill, and it seemed like it had been handled politely and quickly. Not long after I saw their food arrive, I watched one of the guests complain about something... Daniel immediately took it back to the kitchen to fix it, but as he walked away I noticed the group of men laughing at him. While Daniel remained patient, and did everything he could to satisfy them, it was incredibly disheartening to see somebody so kind, who'd been working incredibly hard, be treated the way he was. It seemed to me as though they were finding humor in making him run around. While I like to assume best intent, watching them laugh as he addressed their concerns and rushed to fix them made me feel as though they'd done so on purpose. Daniel took it like a champ, and still continued to check in with us throughout the meal. I hope Bruhaus knows how grateful myself and so many others are, to be served by such kind people! THANK YOU

Lots of dirty looks which made us feel uncomfortable and rushed. Our server was excellent!! She was so amazing and friendly. After waiting 45 minutes, I was informed that they made the wrong food, and then was informed after that, that my food was given to another table. I felt like the kitchen wasn't happy they had to remake my food, and I actually ended up sick less than 12 hours after eating here. There are many wonderful spots in Crested Butte- I would suggest looking elsewhere.

My wife and I ate dinner here recently. We probably didn't look the part as we were mostly in town…read moreto hike the next day, but we are seasoned diners. Let's start with the very good. The gazpacho was top notch, fresh and had bright color and flavor. My wife's filet was cooked perfectly with great texture on outside and tender on the inside. I ordered the Colorado lamb sirloin. It was hard to cut through...was it the slightly tough texture or the non-serrated knife (asked for serrated, restaurant did not have)? I think a little of both. I ordered the chimichurrie to go with the lamb. It came in a cute white ceramic vessel shaped a little like an hourglass with an narrow waist and flared bottom and top. At the top, you could see bright green liquid oil without any of the obvious other chunky ingredients of chimichurri. Ahh, you might think that the next step would be to stir it with a small spoon (often paired with the traditional small ramekin of chimichurri)... alas, no small utensils, just our dinnerware. Not only that, but I generously thought that this fine establishment fully intended to present this as their new twist on chimichurri. Not wanting to complain, I sheepishly drizzled the green oil onto my lamb and made the best of it. Only on my last bites of lamb did I discover belatedly that the dressing had separated and discovered the bright greens and garlic layered densely at the bottom. Two take home messages. Future diners: remember to shake the chimi! Elk Ave Prime: if you are going to charge $7 for a sauce, improve your execution so your customers can fully appreciate your culinary skills.

We had a pretty large group, but our server, Rachel, was a total rockstar. She took incredible care of us and didn't skip a beat. The rest of the staff was also extremely kind, helpful, and on top of everything the entire night. We went with the family-style fajita dinner with chicken, beef, and shrimp, and the food was delicious. Everyone kept talking about how good it was! We also opted for a drink package, and the service was so seamless that not a single person had to wait for or ask for a drink. If you are looking to host an event in Crested Butte, I cannot recommend Bonez enough. They truly made our special weekend kick off in the best way possible!

We were only in town two nights but next time we're in Crested Butte we will absolutely return to Bonez for dinner. YUM! PS the happy hour prices are REALLY good!
