We started off with A Split Decision and a classic cosmo, the split decision was amazing, the banana is super subtle. Then we got the meatballs, they come with 5, plenty to share and great flavor. Followed by the Tuscan pasta with steak and Nashville chicken. The pasta was delicious, but be prepared for the sandwich, it's HOT. The manager treated us to a delicious, insane butter cake....an absolute must and trust the beverage they pair with their desserts, incredible dessert all around! All in all, highly recommend, and would suggest trying to get a seat on the patio, great vibes.

My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary this past Friday evening with dinner at The…read moreBrinkerhoff. We arrived a little early for our reservation, so we stopped next door at Bar Hummingbird for a drink beforehand. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the two hostesses, who were friendly, welcoming, and seated us right away. Our server came over shortly after and walked us through the drink menu. I wish I could remember her name because she deserves recognition--she was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and knew every detail about the cocktails. We ordered drinks and decided to sit outside. The view is absolutely breathtaking. It feels as though you've left Castle Rock and stepped into a private villa in the French or Italian countryside. Every detail of the property is beautifully designed, and the scenery is stunning. After finishing our drinks, we headed to The Brinkerhoff for dinner and enjoyed some of the best food I've had since moving to Colorado from California. Everything was exceptional. Our server there was also fantastic and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. I'm so glad we followed her recommendations because they truly elevated our dining experience. My only negative feedback would be regarding the hostess at The Brinkerhoff that evening. She seemed annoyed that guests were arriving and came across as unfriendly, which felt out of place for a restaurant of this caliber. It wasn't the warmest first impression. That said, this interaction alone does not warrant a lower rating because once we got past the hostess stand, every other member of the staff was incredible. The atmosphere, food, service, and overall experience are top-tier. Since COVID, it often feels like exceptional customer service has become harder to find, but not here. The staff genuinely makes you feel welcome, the food is outstanding, and the entire experience is absolutely worth the price. We will definitely be dining here again, and I highly recommend that you do too!

I'm really disappointed to be giving this 1 star review to a restaurant I really used to enjoy…read more After today's experience, will not be back. Sat at the bar for 30 minutes and not one was asked what I would like to drink or eat. It was not that busy. There were two bartenders. One lady who walked back and forth, not bussing dishes or serving anyone. Just walking back and forth. And a guy who was picking up some dishes and speaking to a few folks. At this price point, staff should great and serve and provide an exceptional experience. Unfortunately mine was a waste of 30 minutes and off to find a restaurant with a staff that cares about their clientele. This was mentioned to management as we left. ------ I would like to add a few more comments to address the response below. 1. We came in for a meal, not a margarita. Thanks for the assumptions. 2. We were not created in time, take another look at your cameras. 3. When she delivered chips and salsa about 15 minutes after sitting there. She slammed them down and threw salsa all over the counter which she never cleaned. Never said anything just threw them down and went back to walking around the bar area.

Every recommendation came with passion, personal testimony, and what I'm pretty sure was a sworn oath that our lives were about to change. "Trust me." "No -- TRUST me." "You're gonna thank me later." Reader, I did thank him later. Every dish he pointed at was absolute fire. Not a single miss. It was like having a culinary tour guide who had eaten the entire menu twice and survived to tell the tale. Food was incredible, vibes were great, and Eli deserves either a raise, a podcast, or his own Food Network show. Come hungry. Leave full. Tip Eli like he personally cooked your meal (because emotionally, he did)

This is my second time eating dinner at Cuba Cuba and I just love this little spot. Anytime I visit…read moreColorado I have to visit this restaurant. We were a party of three adults and one toddler. Arrived around 5:30 p.m. on Monday and was greeted and sat immediately. Our server was super friendly even though she was one of the only servers and had many tables to tend to. The food is close to authentic Cuban. I love the plantain chips and dip and I always get the picadillo. This was our first time getting the flan and my goodness it was delicious. You have to have a cortado as well. Sometimes they have live music and when the weather is nice it is always a good idea to sit outside. Maybe I will try another dish aside from piccadillo next time but that's a big maybe. ;)

They absolutely loved being able to order milkshakes with their kids' meals which is a fun touch and definitely a highlight for them. The burgers are a great size and packed with flavor.

Service was friendly and everything came out pretty quickly, which is always a win when dining with kids. We'd definitely come back again

Then they added an enclosed heated patio that has more seating than the inside of the restaurant. Our server was really nice. We got the wise guy - deep fried mozzarella, crispy prosciutto, balsamic, pesto, etc. It was a bit dry, as it did not have enough pesto. It had a huge deep fried mozzarella on top of the patty, bigger than the patty, so def needs more sauce to balance all the dry ingredients. It basically tasted like an Italian sandwich, we think they should have just put marinara sauce in lieu of the pesto and call it a pizza burger We upgraded to Wisconsin cheese curds which were very tasty and the same portion size as the fried which was a lot- it was nice. But it was very redundant with the burger since the burger had a huge deep fried mozzarella on it. I think these cheese curds were also mozzarella The Love stinks was good. It was very messy with lots of cream cheese. My partner said it was good but too wet. Fries were good. I would probably order this again . We couldn't finish all the curds and fries, burgers were very filling But there's always room for dessert. We got a S'mores milkshake . For $9, it was smaller than I expected, more of a medium size not a large. But honestly I wouldn't get it again. It was not very tasty and it was very difficult to sip thru the large straw. Flavor was not there.

A couple things worth mentioning: the kids meal portions are quite small, and the chile rellenos don't always have cheese inside. At this price point, I'd expect those details to be consistent every single visit. Overall though, it's still one of our family's go-to spots for Mexican food! Service is typically fast & the restaurant has gorgeous 360 views of Castle Rock which is nice!

I was distracted by the person behind glass making the wonderful fresh tortillas. As homebrewers, my husband and I were interested in what their brew set up looked like. It was behind glass and visible from where we were seated. Always neat to see how a brewery is set up, no two are the same. Dulce took care of us. We started with chips and salsa. The chips were warm and the salsa was fresh with a nice kick. He got a taco plate with ground beef tacos, rice and beans. He paired that with the LDP IPA. He enjoyed his meal. I love Chile Rellenos, so that is what I chose for my lunch. It came smothered with their green chili and with some of those wonderful warm tortillas on the side. I paired mine with their Aqua Fresca, a slightly altered base of their Mexican Lager with the addition of Prickly Pear purée and Key Lime. It was refreshing and tasted like summer. I had half of my lunch to bring home with me. The view from where we sat was beautiful. I would come back.

We started by splitting a side Caesar salad, which was very flavorful and good. None of us were impressed with our chicken. Thinner than it has been in the past, it was also overcooked and quite dry. The side of vegetables are fantastic, and the mashed potatoes were enjoyed as well. They've now included a scoop of Cole slaw with the chicken, which was also very good. Service started off slow, but was ok, although we did have to ask for drink refills after our glasses sat empty for a long time. I'm sure we'll give them another shot at some point to see if the chicken improves.

Cozy atmosphere, great food, loving service, and perfect volume level for a sport bar. The menu is adventurous for a sports bar and provides options other than just the regular old "burger and fries." The owner and the manager will recognize you everytime that you come back and it feels like a private club, more than a public restaurant. For the win: Start with the Soft Pretzels with ale cheese dip and ale mustard, next either the Western Burger with a side of coleslaw and fries, or The Reuben. Finally, wash it all down with Crank Yanker IPA or one of the many Mule choices. "Honey, where are you going?" "To the library!"
