I want to further my Barley & Boar review. I've been 5x, and loved every moment…read more Who knew this little unassuming place from the outside is so outstanding on the inside in every way. Allow me to elaborate. Fairly small, 15-20 tables with a good size bar, and smaller counter facing the open kitchen. Dining by myself, I chose for the visual spectacle by the three in the kitchen, chefs/sous-chef/cook. BTW, I would say it's got a romantic setting. Greeted by the smiley hostess, and my fun and casual waiter Frankie (and burger-lover which I found out), I felt very welcomed. They feature a handful of beers, 2 that are brewed in-house, wines (a good $20 corkage fee if you bring your own), and an ample cocktail list. The menu is small, 1 of every animal - burger, pork, fish, chicken and veg -- and it's seasonal, menu changing soon. What I've tried: ============= BURGER [$29, 5.0 stars] -- I had to get a burger, after all, it's why I came in. Wagyu beef, melted comte gruyere, shaved/pickled onions, and a "backporch" bun -- wow, best burger in 5 years for me. Amazing quality, wonderful seasoned handformed patty, oooohhhh basically a cheese sauce, wonderful fresh bun. It needed some crunch to it to make it perfect, but along with the handcut large fries seasoned with a dryrub (ranch? parm?), it was over-the-top. SHORT RIB [$34, 5.0 stars] - perhaps the best I've ever had (and boy, have I had) with mushrooms in a red wine sauce. Served with amazing creamy polenta. Really nice portion. Love. PORK CHOP [$35, 4.5 stars] -- huge, cooked to perfection. Served with veggies and potato puree. I'd order every time, but see above.

Came in for dinner around 7pm and had a really lovely meal. Our server Frankie was stellar…read more The bread and butter was AMAZING. I thought it was crazy that it was $11 but it was so worth it. There's a bed of butter and herbs and spices under the bread and the texture of the bread was so perfect. I wish there was a touch more short rib in my pasta, but the flavor was nice. The fried chicken sandwich was also yummy, but perhaps a little too much sauce. They make their vodka and gin in house and the cocktails were delicious.

Cooked just right, not dry. Nicely seasoned and just enough tasty tartar sauce. The arugula and tomato topped it off nicely. (Sorry, no photos because I devoured it.) Service was pleasant and attentive. Several TVs for sports viewing, if you can get the right angle. What is a 2.99% (not quite 3.00%) "Operations Fee" tacked on to the bill? Is it because of this: "This business has a 2.99% Cash Adjustment Discount built into all pricing." Tell me this upfront or build it into the food and beverage prices. Sorry, this is a deal breaker for me. Others will tell me to get over it. Street parking only. No private lot.

UPDATE: Since…read moreposting my review, I have had multiple conversations with Hallie (communications personnel) and Ben, the General Manager at Cielo. Both were thoughtful, professional, and genuinely receptive to my concerns. At no point did I feel dismissed, argued with, or pressured to change my review. Instead, they listened carefully, communicated openly, and took the situation seriously. While the original interaction should never have happened, I was impressed by the level of accountability, kindness, and follow-through shown afterward. They treated both me and my friend with respect throughout the process and worked to repair what had become a very disappointing experience. I still stand by my original review of the incident itself, but I also believe good businesses should receive credit when they handle criticism with professionalism and integrity. Ben and Hallie did exactly that.

We also ordered the caprese appetizer and it was just as good, super fresh and really well done. Quin was our server and she was phenomenal. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. You can tell she genuinely cares about the guest experience, and it really made our meal even better. Quin is amazing at what she does. Overall, a great experience all around. Excellent food, outstanding service, and a place we would highly recommend.

Cozy interior with a nice covered patio + extended outdoor patio facing Chalk Mountain Golf Course + Rocky Canyon. My wife really enjoyed her bacon and goat cheese sandwich with the seasoned tomatoes on side. I loved my California Benedict. Only knock was the service was a little slow with only one server for most the covered patio. Well executed establishment that's equal parts classy, cozy, and still casual. The elevated tavern-style menu was intriguing and fun. We'll be going back now that we're local for other items

We were given a buzzer and were told to come to the pick up area once our buzzer goes off. We sat in the bar area since it was the quietest since we were with our 4 month old, Restaurant is super cute with western themed items throughout the place. The steakhouse burger was very good! Decent size burger and very buttery (in a good way) and the pig iron was delicious! Pulled pork was nice and tender with just the right amount of bbq sauce on there. The onion rings were nice and crispy as well and a huge serving for their full size. I'd definitely give this place a try if I'm in the area again!

Tip is to go next door to Pig Iron for your drinks if the bar is too crowded at Club Car Bar. Sound system is very advanced. Nice folks working and patronizing. Order food before 8:00 (comes from Pig Iron). Plenty of street parking. A cute local spot in the former AJ Spurs (still has the safe - cool!) as well as a former post office and saddlery. Love the space, love the vibes. Cocktails were $13 - not too bad for top shelf.
