    Bar area cool vibe & entire area sits 30.
    Bruce M.

    Service was quick, friendly, answered questions w/a smile, food served fairly quick/warm, not hot: burgers are smashed/somewhat dry, toppings plentiful and thick, fries generous but out of a bag, cheesesteak portion huge, moderately flavorful/ cheesy/ stringy w/3 pieces of gristle, breads nothing special yet soft. Nice hippish vibe, friendly but musta chose unimaginative menu items

    Gil S.

    Great spot in Breckenridge - off the main street (in the parallel street). The food was really delicious and the service was very nice and quick. I would absolutely recommend this place if you're in town and want something a little bit quieter than the main street. The cheesesteak sandwich was really good.

    Everything should have added up- they make their own sauces, the meat is local, they imported amorosa bread from Philly, the service was excellent, friendly, and prompt.. but the final meals just fell a little flat. The fries weren't seasoned at all, they charged $2 for honey mustard, and while the sandwiches we ordered sounded inspired, they were missing a complexity of flavor that would have really made everything stand out. The toro Italian had a lot of kick with the peppers, but the meat didn't seem to have any seasoning. The Asian chicken sandwich was burnt, but even had it not been, it didn't have enough sauce on it. That I think was the biggest issue with all the sandwiches we tried- the paucity of sauce made them all kind of dry and sad. For a $20 sandwich, please give me some sauce! I had high hopes since they had such good ratings.

    Bullseye burger + fries
    Mj M.

    10/10 will be back The service was superb, the patio views are epic (+ dog friendly) and the food was delicious. I ordered the bullseye burger - smash burger-ish with jalapeño popper vibes. The fries were crispy and salty! Could not have asked for a better post-hike lunch spot.

    Steak salad
    Kelly M.

    We ordered takeout from here. The online ordering process was easy but you can't make any modifications. I got the steak salad. It was okay...I'm sure it is better in person since the fries get a little soggy on the salad in the takeout box.

    Potstickers w/ sweet Thai dipping sauce

    We chose this place due to its highly rated reviews and were not disappointed; it is a smaller restaurant nestled in the heart of downtown Breckenridge, CO. Upon entering, we noticed how busy it was, yet the workers were friendly and welcoming and ensured us that a table would be ready soon. Although the tables could be moved around to accommodate larger groups, it seemed to fit smaller groups best (IMO). We ordered the pot stickers to start, the red chili, ridge salad, barnyard sandwich and a kids chicken tenders w/ fries. Everything was absolutely DELISH!

    Melt
    Sam M.

    The food here was superb! We had the melt and salads to go. The gentleman serving at the bar was super helpful/kind when I got the pick up order (the restaurant was too full to eat in, thus the to go order). The only reason I don't give a 5th star is that I would suggest that the restaurant add the ability to make modifications on the online ordering platform (ie ask for no tomatoes on the burger, etc). The only way to do modifications was to call, but during busier times you are put on a 5-10 minute hold (to no fault of the waitors/etc). This is just a friendly suggestion. However, the food is incredible here and the staff is very friendly. They are busy for a reason: the food/people!

    Great restaurant, servers were all helpful and nice. The dining area is small but very well decorated and planned out. The burger was phenomenal, my favorite burger of our trip. We will stop by next time we're in Breck.

    Great breakfast experience! Reece, our server, kept us informed about everything and quick on service and top offs and loaded on the fun. Food was great - loved the potatoes and how crispy they were. Avocado toast was solid healthy option and my husband loved the Philly breakfast sandwich. Will def return for lunch or dinner while in town!

The evening started with them not remembering the food allergy that I told you about when i submitted your survey, but I digress. We started with a martini and an old fashioned. The martini was tasty but half of it was missing like where's the rest of my drink ‍. Second I had to ask for plates, not sure how you forget but remembered to give them to the table next to me ‍. At this point I'm over it and prefer my experience at raticato. Next strike, you ask us to order everything and you'll course it out but instead you interrupt us mid chew and ask to clear the table for our meals, absolutely unacceptable. How do you rush your customers. I get it's 8pm but you're open until 9:30 and if you're in a rush go home and send a server that wants to be there. Service, service, service. It was absolutely non existent and at a restaurant that isn't McDonalds prices, do better. You never came back to our table and asked if the food came out ok or if we needed more drinks. As a matter of fact, my spouse walked to the bar and ordered their own drink, unacceptable. Absolutely ridiculous. We couldn't enjoy our meal because the service was so poor and I'd absolutely not return. We had the Halibut, which was tasty but could do without the ro and the chicken dish, which was prepared well. The steak tartare was just ok and the bread and hummus was a good addition. Nah, wouldn't recommend. Please have a conversation with Olivia Z., if she's having a day she needs to exit and not work that day in hospitality. P.s. she also rushed another table that wanted to enjoy the chicken dish but she was too focused on leaving that she told them they should get dessert instead.

Walking in on a cold February day, the mood and ambiance were warm and inviting. The downstairs bar was lively, and the wood ceiling and decor definitely gave off a classic aged lodge feel. We were seated upstairs per our Yelp reservations. A collection of canteens hung on the wall, which sparked a fun conversation and history lesson for my twins. Since they're part of the CamelBak and Stanley cup generation, they hadn't seen anything like them before. My son was impressed by the size of the kids' burger, and the fries were great. The rest of us had the NY Strip. I'd say it was good, but not great--though I did appreciate the blackened seasoning and the chimichurri. The grilled asparagus, however, was simply fantastic. The showstopper was the upside-down apple pie with what seemed to be homemade vanilla ice cream. Both were generous portions and kindly comped by our server for my birthday. I ordered my standard Ranch Water, though it unfortunately didn't come in their traditional canteen cup. Overall, it's a great spot. I look forward to visiting again on our next trip to Colorado.

We sat at the bar because we heard great things about the happy hour from the locals. 2 Food: We researched before coming to Breckenridge what place had the best burger and Aurum's French Onion Burger came up at the top of the list. It did not disappoint. It was cooked to perfection (we like medium rare) and the sea salt french fries were delicious (no condiments needed for the burger or the fries)!! 3. Employees: The Hostess was friendly and got us seated right away. The Bartenders (Mike and George) made our evening a blast. Mike Ruda has a signature drink on the menu that he created called the Duck Fat Cadillac and it is a home run cocktail (10 out 10)!! George Johnson is a great conversationalist and is engaged with the customers. We showed him a twist to our favorite drink back home in San Antonio, the Carajillo and he made it perfectly!

Now I recommend going early for happy hour or making reservations. We were heading out around 5:30pm and there was no seating available. For happy hour I had a glass of Rosé and lemon parmesan fries. The food, people, and ambiance were so amazing, we made dinner reservations for the whole fam. Luckily there was availability. That night we were sat promptly when we arrived and the table was set up with menus and water waiting for us. For appetizer, we started off with the Parker House rolls with the house honey butter and OMG those rolls are so fluffy and delicious. Highly suggest getting the rolls if you like bread. The butter complimented the bread beautifully. I started off the night with the blackberry smash with tequila and it was delicious. Just the right combo of sweetness. For entree we went with their Pasta Rotante which for the night was a crazy flavor combo of tomato, pumpkin seeds, crunchy carrot strings, sage and chicken sausage. I'm probably missing other ingredients, but it was a dance of flavors on the tongue. Our waiter recommended pairing this with a glass of Pinot Noir and it was the perfect compliment.

    Best and most exquisite restaurant experience EVER!…read more Ember in Breckenridge was the absolute perfect place to spend Christmas Eve with my brother and dad. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, festive, and welcoming exactly what you'd hope for on a special holiday night. We did the three-course dinner, and every single dish was outstanding. I started with the duck breast appetizer, which was amazing! Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. For my entrée, I had the lobster, and it was incredible. So tender, rich, and cooked to perfection in a butter bath. To finish, the key lime pie was killer! Our lovely server Val was the star of the night with his attentiveness and gave us some great recommendations!

No experience in selling wine or any understanding of how to navigate a dining experience. The server ended the night by bragging of how much money he made annually, $100,000, but obviously had no idea what a proper done experience should be. He pulled out a notepad to explain what was on the dish, every menu item was an expression of ADHD, there were probably 10 components on every dish and none of them tied together. I can't anticipate this place staying open, if it wasn't in a tourist town where you didn't rely on repeat customers it would've been closed a long time ago. Absolutely un sophisticated and overpriced. The ambience of the place matches the awkward experience presented on the plate. Save your money and go to a pub nearby.
