We had Arancini- the best either of us have had since being in Italy. Crab cakes were another appetizer we enjoyed but not in the level of the Arancini. The main course (which we spied on the way to our table) was to die for. Duck leg confit with mushroom ravioli and broccolini (perfectly cooked) and a creamy mushroom gravy. It was magnificent. If you're ever in Alamosa for dinner, don't hesitate to stop in. You won't regret it. You might even want to go out of your way to stop here. Two chefs who earned their stripes in NYC returned to Alamosa to try their hands at fine dining in Alamosa. I hope they can continue to do well.

It got crowded, but everyone, including ALL of the employees, were so friendly and welcoming. We met some of the owners, and they are such cool and kind people. We also got to have a good chat with one of their friends who was helping that night. Her name was Amy. Shout out to her! The live music was so fun, and the area was cozy and inviting. What was most surprising to us was that their drinks are amazing!!! Like some of the best and most unique cocktails we've had. It's not your typical bar. I had their version of an espresso martini with tequila and another drink that was a margarita with olive brine. Delish!!! They used nice glasses, even for just regular water. Everything about the place was top notch. We can't wait to go back the next time we are in town.

We enjoyed the pizza - my husband LOVED it. I thought it was just okay, but also I was fighting a cold so I'm going to defer to him on this one. I'd definitely give them another try if I'm ever back in the area.

The restaurant wasn't fooling around when it comes to garlic. You could smell the enticing aroma of it as soon as you walk through the door. The ambience was quaint. It is connected to a hotel which I'd check out if I were traveling through here again. We arrived at the restaurant around 530pm. The happy hour menu had both drinks and some dinner items on it. My companion ordered the Spaghetti & Meatballs from the happy hour menu. We were told the portion is the same as from the regular menu. It was $14. ($18 on regular menu.) It was a generous portion with three large meatballs. I opted for the Picatta Pasta at $12 and added four shrimp for an extra $6. They gave me five so I'm not sure if the chef made a mistake or was just feeling generous. I'll say the latter! The dish had tomatoes, capers, lemon, and white wine. The only thing I'd add to my taste would be pine nuts! We both totally enjoyed our meals including the bread! I forced myself to leave a little for lunch the next day and it was even better then! Comments I heard from around the dinner were equally enthusiastic about their meals, especially those who ordered the mussels. We're in town for a week and I don't usually go back to the same restaurant twice when I'm visiting a new location but my companion and I are definitely going back again before we leave. It was a Fri and a bit of busy night when we were there but our server Jillian did a great job and was super nice.

We found a table in the back room, and came in a little before they were setting up for a live band! I was a little confused by the menus; they had two separate cocktail menus, one seemed to be more of a traditional menu, while the other was like a "potions" themed menu. The prices were very reasonable for the cocktails and they were tasty, although a little sweet. We didn't eat dinner there but the night we were there, they had tapas which was fun. Would stop in for another drink!

Recently revamped and reopened after four years, it's back as 'your five-star dive bar,' and it's better than ever. This spot has it all--signature drinks like their smooth Espresso Martini, the unique Chai One On, and delicious non-alcoholic cocktails for those looking to keep it light. Throw in a buzzing atmosphere and regular live music, and you've got the place to be. Whether you're a local or just passing through, the Vic is where Salida's charm truly shines.

Nestled among the peaks of the Sawatch Range, where tumbleweeds might theoretically roll if they weren't caught in the spokes of a passing bicycle, sits an establishment of peculiar perfection: The Biker & The Baker. My compass has unerringly pointed to their door every single time I visit Salida over the past five years. It is a tradition forged in sugar and chain grease, where the rugged American West meets the precision of French pastry. Pairing high-desert riding with artisanal baking seems like a recipe for a pile-up, but the execution here is a sweet ride. You will find aerodynamic cyclists sitting elbow-to-elbow with flannel-draped modern prospectors, united by a singular quest for butter. The Biker handles the gears, the Baker handles the tiers. They aren't just coasting on charm; they are pedaling toward culinary triumph, baking up a storm that rivals the monsoons over the Arkansas River. The confections are miniature monuments to indulgence. I have routinely panned for gold in this valley, but the true motherlode is their lemon tart--a symmetrical marvel of citrus striking like a high-noon sun. Their charcuterie boards are arranged with the geometric exactitude of a surveyor mapping a railroad. Whether you are gearing up to summit Mount Shavano or recovering from a grueling promenade, this sanctuary provides the requisite fuel. It is the exceedingly charming destination itself.
