    We stopped into Clear Creek Cidery after lunch, so we only sampled the cider this visit, but it was…read moreenough to make us excited to come back. One thing we appreciated was the variety. They're currently pouring ciders from around Colorado as well as other cider-producing regions, which made for a fun tasting experience. It was a great way to try several different styles and producers in one place. The food looked fantastic, and several people sitting near us spoke very highly of what they ordered. We'll definitely be returning to try the menu for ourselves. What really stood out, though, was the hospitality. The owner was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to talk cider. The staff was equally welcoming and made us feel right at home. Overall, it was a great experience and a perfect fit for Idaho Springs. We can't wait to come back and spend more time there.

We stopped at Clear Creek Cidery & Eatery because we liked their outdoor seating. The weather was perfect for enjoying a nice, shaded outdoor lunch. Our group of six all ordered water for drinks. The server brought us filled glasses and then told us if we wanted any refills, we could get them ourselves from the big cooler jug outside. Um...okay. The rest of the service was pretty much the same -- apathetic. We ordered a flight of beer for the four adults at the table. It was about $30 and came with about 15 small glasses of cider, one of each flavor they served. We shared it and got to sample everything that way. I ordered the Cider Burger (medium rare) with fries as my side. It came out medium well, which instantly ruins and dries out any good burger experience. The fries were tepid as well. I don't think we even saw our server again until the end, and even then we had to wait for awhile for the check. So, overall, It was just an okay experience. If I'm in the Idaho Springs area again, I wouldn't return to Clear Creek Cidery & Eatery. I'd definitely explore other options.

    Food is wonderful. I am a sucker for Yuca fries and the ones at Mariposa do not disappoint. Their…read morenewer item; an appetizer of latin inspired shrimp scampi are delicious. And kissed by the fire grill. I would not order the so called char broiled care asada, as the kitchen pre slices the beef, so it doesn't actually get a char grill. It's a sad expression of a charrasco. All cook should have knives to slices a properly cooked steak, one would think. One major frustration is the fact that the open kitchen staff are blasting their own music whilst the Spanish guitar trio is also playing. While perhaps those sitting farther in the restaurant cannot hear the kitchen staff music. Those at the bar fale and the communal table behind the bar are going to be annoyed by having to listen to music by a kitchen staff that should not be having music playing. It is an open concept kitchen! The bartender Tyler did an excellent job of explaining the menu with descriptions and suggestions based upon my tastes. And assisted when items didn't meet expectations though. Monarch and Mariposa are lucky to have him!

    This goes into my list of top ten meals of all time! We received a text ten minutes before our…read morereservation time stating that our table was ready so we would have time to walk across the casino. We arrived and the host showed us immediately to a table, but we requested the bar since there were still seats available. The restaurant was romantic and dark, with an open kitchen so you could watch the chefs create their magic. Tyler was our bartender, server, and entertainer that evening, and helped explain the menu to us, which included a tablet with pictures and descriptions of each meal so you wouldn't be left guessing. He also kept us laughing and we ended up staying longer than planned (and ordering a LOT more than we had planned) because we were enjoying his conversation so much. To start us off with drinks, at Tyler's recommendation, I went for the Smoke Signal (I'm a sucker for Mezcal) and loved the balance of alcohol, smoke and sweetness. Our appetizers were the Fry Bread Esquites - pillowy fry bread topped with perfectly seasoned charred corn, cotija and zesty chipotle aioli, and the Pan Seared Shrimp served with blue corn tortillas, guacamole and the most delicious tomato macha. The shrimp aren't completely peeled, so beware there is more than the tails to remove! For the main meal we split the Pork Tomahawk - the most expensive thing on the menu (besides the steak offerings), and it was worth it! The most tender and moist pork I've ever had, with sweet potato purée, grilled mushrooms, fresh broccolini and a sweet honey chipotle sauce. We were too full for dessert (I honestly haven't consumed so much in one sitting, but it was too good to stop!), but we were able to fit in one more drink at the end. I chose the Sweet Venom, recommended by Tyler, which was a sweeter drink with a floater of Tingala which makes your tongue go numb. Tyler offered us a little splash of the Tingala on its own which was a fun experience! It was a pricey meal for sure, but worth more than every cent we spent. Highly recommend the dishes and beverages we got, and if you're lucky enough to snag a seat at the bar when Tyler is working, you're guaranteed to have a great night!

Upon entering it's cozy and has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Greeted at the counter by a woman who asked if I knew what I wanted, I let her know I didn't and she pointed to a menu on the counter while finishing her chat with another customer. Unsure about what is "good" here, and without much guidance from the staff I went with the online recommendation for chicken salad. I mentioned being excited to try this place being a new customer, and her overall demeanor was short. The tortilla soup was great, awesome base and lots of corn black beans tomato chunks and diced chicken. The chicken salad sandwich consisted of diced chicken, mayonnaise and green onion - like a lot of it. I took a few bites but it wasn't very flavorful and not my preferred style. Not to worry clearly others love it and I'm happy I stopped in, wouldn't come back a second time though due to flavors and service. $3 for a can of soda is wildly expensive even for a mountain town. Total order was about $$22
