This is about as good as it gets in Gunnison, and that's saying quite a bit because there are…read moreseveral very nice restaurants here. The wine list is very nice, and you won't break the bank -- especially at happy hour, with two dollars off each glass of wine between 5 and 7 PM. We had the House Malbec, from Mendoza, Argentina, and it had a delicious flavor and aroma. It was a full bodied and smooth, dark red offering. For an appetizer, we had the Shishati grilled peppers with pesto/cilantro sauce, and they were just fantastic. They are mild, nicely grilled, and beautifully presented. It is served as an appetizer, but please be warned, one out of every nine peppers is exceedingly hot. We had about 12 peppers, and all of them were mild, so we beat the odds! I've had hamburgers all over the world, and I can honestly say I have not had a better cheeseburger than I got right here from the menu at Blackstock. It's in a traditional bun, lightly toasted, with tempura, onion, cracked pepper, mayo, Tabasco, candied and smoked bacon, and it is served with Hand-cut fries. You can add guacamole for a dollar, or blue cheese or Gruyere cheese for another dollar. But I did not add a thing; it was perfect as it came out of the kitchen for me! You will be asked how you want your hamburger cooked, and I chose medium. It could not have been better! It's on the menu at a very fair $21 including your hand-cut fries. My lovely dinner-date had the petite filet mignon, a 5-ounce offering of spectacular steak, served with goat cheese, potato croquettes, asparagus, stewed shallots, served with a Cabernet Demi glaze at $45. It was a large serving, I believe bigger than 5 ounces, because we are taking half of it home in a to-go box! Again, the food was spectacular... really good. We will finish with the flourless chocolate torte, serve with whipped cream and Amarina dark cherries at $11. If I was a betting man, I'd say you're gonna love this place! Take a few pictures, do what I did, and leave a review, because more people need to know the quality of food coming out of this little storefront on a busy street in Gunnison! And if you ask for Danielle, be advised, he's a great server and you will get exactly what you need! He's very attentive, and charming.

While this restaurant may seem very unassuming from the outside, I promise, when you step inside,…read moreyou won't be disappointed. One of my favorite features is Ramen Wednesdays. More recently, we sat at the bar last week to enjoy both happy hour, and the ramen menu. The bartender was great, and checked in with us regularly. We started with a small plate of the bistro fries - which comes covered in Truffle Oil, Herbs de Provence, and Parmesan Cheese - they're super good, and would say better than a certain CB restaurant's crack fries. The small order was plenty for the three of us to share. For drinks, we started with wine, beer, and I had a mojito. The mojito wasn't my favorite - for some reason, it was really sweet. Second drink was a glass of Sauvignon blanc, which went well with the ramen. On to the ramen - I went with the Boo-Tan-E-Koo Pork broth, traditional wavy noodles, pork belly, poached egg, tempura, green onion, buttered sweet corn, chile thread, fresh ginger, sesame seeds. It was delicious, flavorful, and I couldn't get through the whole bowl (I took about half of it home). That was my first time taking ramen home, and would note it heated up nicely for lunch the next day. We will absolutely be back to try more of the menu!

The salsa that comes with the chips is actually pretty good. The staff seem to only be enthusiastic about their jobs when it's aprés time and they can earn quick tips for pouring quick drinks. I've been here across two seasons, numerous nights, numerous bartenders, and they all seem to universally dislike their jobs, or simply doing work. Almost every time I have to ask for a napkin and silverware after the food has come. I usually have to flag someone down for service. I usually have to ask for a glass of water to be refilled. It's just an endless drag trying to dine here. If it weren't the only ski-in/out hotel on the mountain, I'd go elsewhere, but hey, captive audience means you can succeed even when mediocre.

I got a Hugo spritz this time which was nice a refreshing! We tried the meatballs (super juicy and the bread was fluffy and delicious), pickle cream cheese bombs (recommended by the best server Quinn) were fantastic and then we had to get some dessert to go! We spent our whole time at the river bar this time and left with fully belly's! Quinn's the best server, he's so friendly and has great recommendations! He is super attentive even with having so many tables to tend to!

Their wine selection is excellent and thoughtfully curated, with something for everyone. The food is consistently delicious with an impressive variety on the menu, and the appetizer selection alone is worth stopping in for. What really sets Garlic Mike's apart is their ability to handle a busy restaurant atmosphere while still delivering attentive, friendly, and professional service. Even on the busiest nights, the staff makes you feel welcomed and well taken care of. A true Gunnison gem and a place I love coming back to again and again.

The corn dogs were slightly burnt (in our opinion) but the flavor was very good, we would order again. However I think the chips are a miss....just serve them without them and charge a little less in my opinion, they aren't needed. We liked both sauces. The potatoes we originally ordered with the fried egg but the server forgot (she was very apologetic) and got one out to us after a few mins. The egg honestly did nothing to the dish. We wish the potatoes were crispier for sure but the garlic aoli was good. However, we prob wouldn't order it again. The masa cakes were good, I would order again but nothing mind blowing. Overall it was just ok. I think what kind of set our decision to probably not return is the fact that a table near us had asked the server something (we aren't exactly sure what) and she took their dish back and then proceeded to talk crap about them in the server/kitchen area. My husband said the table didn't hear her but I don't know how they didn't as she was talking very loudly about how "my tables are so annoying today! The things people ask for are crazy" (etc) and it made me really uncomfortable. I used to be a server and can understand frustrations with customers but it was unprofessional to talk crap about them when other customers can hear.

Everyone was very well pleased with the way the steaks were cooked, the presentation was nice, and the service was absolutely great by a gal named "Max" (which we figured was short for Maxine). Max absolutely loves her job, and it was obvious! She took great care of us! We were treated like long, lost friends, although it was my very first time in the restaurant. I strongly recommend checking this place out in Gunnison, the prices are quite fair for the type of food and the ambience.

Now, I preface this by saying, I've eaten here over the years, but only for dinner while in town on business. Recently there again for business, popped in, sat upstairs for Sunday lunch. Ordered the Caliente Burger with a side of cottage cheese. It was good, but not great. I had grown accustomed to the quality of their steaks and the hamburger patty just wasn't that. Ordered it medium rare and it came out well done. And the patty seemed to have been (but I could be wrong) from a pre-made frozen patty. It just didn't taste like fresh made hamburger meat. Other than that, it's a good place to eat.
