    Crispy and delicious truffle tater tots
    Linda E.

    Tavern West is one of my favorite restaurants in Frisco. Consistent in serving delicious food, servers are attentive and friendly. Food is fresh and presentation is always great. Whether you're coming with a casual group of friends, or looking for a date night spot, this is the place. Parking is always easy & gorgeous views of the mountains all throughout the year. They have quite a few new items on their menu this summer-- tonight my mom tried the Jamaican jerk cauliflower which came with a yummy quinoa salad & she absolutely crushed it. As a disclaimer she did mention you have to like spicy food as it did have quite a kick. Some of my favorites: -the beet salad -mahi mahi dish -roasted chicken -fried chicken sandwich Adding salmon as a side to the salads. Always fresh & well seasoned. -The roasted carrots and ricotta cheese appetizers & great for sharing. -Their spicy ginger mocktail THE DESSERTS. Yes, all of them. I do have a warm spot in my heart for their bread pudding, but I have yet to try one that I did not like.

    Truffled tater tots

    We came close to missing out on this great dining experience when the online system showed no availability. Luckily, we called in and the restaurant was able to accommodate us. Restaurant was cozy and service was great! It's always nice when your server understands the menu and seems to have an appreciation for the food! As suggested by most Yelpers, we started off with the truffle tater tots..no regrets! Tots were perfectly cooked and truffle flavor was not too overwhelming. Can't go wrong with either the lamb or elk...but the sauce that comes with the elk really compliments the dish very well! The mashed potatoes were tasty as well - smoky and buttery...yumm! As a must - finish your meal with the white chocolate bread pudding with added vanilla ice cream! The restaurant is closing for 3 weeks since it's the low season. But definitely come when they reopen!

    A group of friends and I were here visiting. Came for HH which has some good deals. Got the truffle tots which were delicious. Then the pork belly which was chewy and tough but the flavor was ok. A few of us got the Kobe beef burger. I asked for mine to be cooked medium rare but it was rare and I sent it back. My friend's burger was also undercooked and we both had mild GI upset from it the next day. My other friend got the fried chicken sandwich which had a decent amount of spice. Service was slow though they weren't that busy and the waiter forgot to bring one of my friends beers for over 20 min.

    Visiting the area for snowboarding trip and decided to try this place with friends. Warm Beet Salad. 10/10 Everything was fresh and tasty. The goat cheese was in fact warm. However, I did not taste the beets were roasted. Maybe just sautéed. Fried Nashville hot chicken sandwich. 8/10. Very juicy and indeed spicy. The slaw was fresh and tangly. Paired with traditional french fries and a one of the best tasting sliced pickle Ive had. Seriously, as simple as a pickle but something special about this pickle. This would be a 10/10 had the portion of the chicken been bigger. For the price, I believe the portion of the chicken should have been bigger. Our server Oneydi took care of us really good coming by often to check on us.

    Favorite spot in Frisco, maybe even all of Summit. Place can get popping so make sure to scoop a reservation during busy season. Staff are super friendly and attentive. Highly recommend a spot on the beautiful outdoor patio during nice weather or by the fireplace inside on colder days. The bar is also great for a game with plenty of TV viewing angles. We routinely stop by for happy hour with great deals on food and drink. Always new specials each day and they rotate regularly based on what's available seasonally. Highly recommend the cocktails. They're made very tastefully and never overly sweet. Wine and beer lists are solid too. Lots of awesome apps depending on time of year. The carrots are great. Well cooked and have an awesome nut and goat cheese topping with herbs. Beet salad is great. Baked ricotta is one of our favorites. As is the smoked salmon dip. The rocky mtn bolognese is a go to for us. Same with the ribs and lamb chops. Ribs are fall off the bone. Burgers are also very well done. Lastly, the desserts are all top notch. They're made in house and rotate as well. Gotta make sure you don't skip the dessert with an after dinner drink especially if you're out on the patio on a warm summer night. Enjoy!

    Came for family dinner and we tried many things! For starters we had the salad, salmon bruscetta & tater tots. I thought the bruscetta left something to be desired, and wished they hadn't run out of octopus. As for mains, we ordered the ribs, elk, lamb, tri-tip steak, roasted chicken & a few other dishes. I thought the elk was meh, my friend said the ribs were ok, the roasted chicken lacked flavor but the lamb chops were great and a sizable portion. Their smoked mashed potatoes were unexpected and delightful.

    Great steaks and apps. Our server was very helpful with recommendations and answering any questions we had about the menu options. We tried pork belly and octopus for apps, and mains included pork chops, ribeye, elk, and lamb. All were awesome. We had a table near the bar but it wasn't loud like a sports bar. Ambiance was nice.

    The Tavern West is a nice place to go to if you are looking for a fancy place to eat and drink! Although the vibe in their dining room is a little more upscale, they have a comfy bar area where you and your friends can sit and grab a quick bite to eat. Additionally I have always had good service here and their food is great! It's a standard American steakhouse and while you're there they have an amazing view of the mountains out front. Steak, cocktails, and a view of the mountains? What's not to love.

    Great experience. Two of us came around 6:30 on Fri night and they were full but had two spots at the bar....Bingo! Good selection of local brews on draft. My son ordered the Rocky Mountain Bolognese ($27) and enjoyed it. I went with the Wood Grilled Salmon ($32) and it was a good choice...very flavorful entree. Service at the bar was friendly and prompt!

    Ribs with smoked mashed potato's. Amazing!

    Family night and as usual the food and staff delivered. Great atmosphere, best cocktails in Frisco Colorado.

The Pure Thai Bowl with tofu was bright and satisfying. The Fish Tacos were fresh and perfectly cooked, and the Buffalo Cauliflower had just the right amount of kick. Only thing I didn't love were the spring rolls -- but we ordered those before we started trusting Del, so that one's on us. Overall: fresh, delicious, feel-good food with great service.

We also got the focaccia bread which I felt was kind of greasy. I didn't even dip it in the oil cause it had enough oil in its own. We also got the margherita flatbread, but that didn't feel like a flatbread at all. The bread was thick and made it feel more like a pizza. The taste was good so I won't knock it completely, but I wouldn't be calling that a flatbread. Service was great, just a shame the food doesn't live up to expectations. I'd probably stick to the wine and charcuterie which were the best things I had.

Buffalo sausage with potato salad sounds chaotic, tastes brilliant. The wedge salad is crisp, classic, and doing exactly what a wedge should do. Vegan mushroom cakes were surprisingly rich and earthy--no one missed the meat. The standout? House-made bucatini with Vinny's bolognese--deep, soulful, and clinging to the pasta like it means it. The pizza with hot soppressata, sausage, basil, and red sauce disappeared at an alarming rate. One rebel ordered the steak frites off the main menu. Bold choice. Zero regrets. Bottom line: relaxed vibe, excellent food, and the kind of place where "just one bite" turns into staying awhile. Downtown Frisco wins. Review is a four star because our group concluded the service does not match the food.
