The lobster queso is fantastic, the beef stroganoff is life changing, try the espresso martini (next time I'll try the chocolate martini) and we decided to try the chocolate chip milk cake. None of us thought the cake sounded exciting but we were so impressed by the everything else that we decided to trust that the dessert would be good too and we were wrong! The cake was incredible! I will go back every time I'm in town!

We split Wagu steak, shrimp, loaded baked potato and a salad, and of course the double fudge brownie for dessert. All were fabulous, by the way, but the best part of the night was Shelby. She was fantastic, attentive, funny, and really connected with us. It's great to find a restaurant where the food is better than you'd hoped, and we have very high hopes, but when the wait staff makes you not want to leave, you know you've found that hidden diamond. Thanks Shelby! We love you!!

I'm updating my review because I've been back several times since my first visit, and a few things…read morehave changed. When I first came here, the food was excellent but the service was... not. The place was busy -- maybe a dozen tables plus bar seating, and about 80% full -- but even with a busboy helping, the waiter/operator barely paid me any attention. Maybe it was the beard and the autumn work attire, maybe it was just bad timing, but I felt pretty ignored overall. I was so irritated that I only tipped fifty cents -- and that's saying something, because I always tip well. Fast forward to now: he's much better. It seems like he may have seen my original review (the 4-star one) and wasn't thrilled about it. Still, to his credit, the service has definitely improved, and the food remains phenomenal. On my return visits, I've tried the Western Omelette (pro tip: ask for it with their jalapeño cream cheese for a delicious kick!) and, for the first time ever, chicken and waffles. Both were fantastic -- and honestly, I'll probably never order chicken and waffles anywhere else again. Still, I always find myself coming back for the huevos rancheros. Funny story: I asked the owner/waiter about their huevos rancheros recipe. He told me it's been in the family for 45 years. The ingredients are surprisingly simple -- nothing fancy, not even cumin -- so either he's guarding a well-kept family secret, or his father, the cook, has simply perfected the art of turning ordinary ingredients into something extraordinary. As far as ambience, this place is just an ordinary, mountain diner. I love their floor though, and I would like to replicate it in the next cabin I build.

The beef was incredibly dry and I couldn't pick up the sandwich. A teaspoon of barbecue sauce doesn't work on the sandwich. The mac & cheese was an afterthought. Someone boiled a pot of noodles, drained them and threw in a bunch of cheddar cheese. Nothing but big hard clumps and when I say hard, I'm in the noodles and the cheese were like dried plastic. I don't know if this owner just didn't care about a Colorado festival (sugar beet days), but I wouldn't even bother. We've had grocery store barbecue better than this.

I would love to shout out our waitress, however, I don't know her name. But she was the perfect balance of attentiveness and understanding that we were probably on a first date with how much we kept talking. She was really sweet on taking our orders, and checking in on us. For drinks my day got an old old-fashioned, which I ended up trying- and it was pretty good. I personally got the Cosmo and it was decent. I'm generally more of a gin and tonic, but it was still delicious. For food, we got the fried mac & cheese, balls, and crab stuffed mushrooms. Both had such a great flavor. And I think our favorite was dipping the bread from the crab, stuffed mushrooms in the garlic mixture at the. For entrée, my date got the halibut. And honestly, the sauce was amazing. For my lobster rolls they were both very fresh and delicious. But honestly, I could not eat both. Overall, this was such a great place for our first date, and I would honestly be back for more of the food and the best service. The only knock a star was truly for price point. It's definitely on the price your side even going at lunchtime.
