You can tell there's real attention to detail in every dish, and nothing felt overly complicated just for the sake of it. We shared the burger (honestly one of the best we've had), the panzanella salad, and deviled eggs - all impressive. Drinks were excellent - the mezcal negroni, stockyard pony, and house spritz. We ended with the pecan tart and espresso martini. It was just the two of us and we were stuffed when we left. They sat us in their outdoor space and it was so, so nice. We LOVED it. Definitely a place we'll keep coming back to.

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a great spot for a relaxed evening with someone you love. We tried a few dishes, and I have to say, everything was excellent, but the carrots and linguine stood out as our favorites. If you're planning a date night, I highly recommend making a reservation since it can get busy. The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. We left feeling satisfied and happy, and I can't wait to return to explore more of their menu!

Everything is well balanced, thoughtfully put together, and consistently impressive. There's a good mix of classic foundations with more creative twists, and it all works. The food holds its own too. The oysters are always fresh and well shucked, and the smaller bites are just as strong. One of my favorites is the caviar with Ritz crackers, tartar sauce, egg, and chives. It sounds simple but it's done really well. It's definitely on the pricier side, but the quality of both the drinks and food makes it worth it.

We went up to Traveling Mercies so we could get an after dinner cocktail or two. It is a cute cozy little restaurant and cocktail place and we were seated at a 4 top table quickly. The two gentlemen working last night were so friendly and accommodating! Quick to give drink opinions and recommendations, we liked what we ordered for sure. Good cocktails and good vibes all around. We definitely would like to come back to try other drinks and dinner! I am not an oyster person, but they definitely had more than oysters to eat ;)

There was an indoor waterfall, insanely high buttresses, fireplaces, multiple restaurants, and yes, actual trees growing in the middle of the dining area. I had to remind myself I wasn't outside. We didn't have to wait to be seated, which was a great start. The dinner menu was a little limited, but I had a feeling it was going to be good. I ordered the bison meatloaf and wow... it practically melted in my mouth. The wine mushroom reduction brought everything together perfectly. The roasted cauliflower and Brussels sprouts had the best crunch, and the mashed potatoes were so creamy and delicate there were no leftovers. My dad ordered the roasted chicken and said it was incredibly moist and flavorful. My mom's bison burger was juicy, tender, and cooked perfectly. The double fried French fries absolutely stole the show though. Somehow they were extra crispy without being overdone. For dessert we shared the skillet cookie, and it was the perfect sweet, indulgent ending to the meal. After a full day of traveling, this was exactly what we needed. We finished the evening sitting outside by the fire with everyone relaxing around us, and it was the perfect way to kick off our trip. I'd happily come back for that meatloaf alone.

I also got the iced Salted Butterscotch Latte, which was SO good and definitely a highlight. The staff was very friendly, and we had a great waiter who made the experience even better.

We decided on sharing a hummus plate with both veggies and pita to start and it was delicious. I had the Greek Salad with chicken as my entree and the others had a chicken shawarma plate and a salmon plate. Everything is fresh and colorful and the portions are large and everything is plated beautifully. It's a modern atmosphere with good energy and service is attentive. I see there are locations in Boulder and Vail and also that catering is available. If I had a Boychik near me, I'd absolutely consider having them cater any of my personal events. If you're in the Stanley Marketplace area, don't miss a meal at Boychik!

There was no place to get quarters so we had to make our way up to the tiny little bar area in the back left corner. It was hard to get the bartenders attention because it was quite busy. So instead of grabbing a drink and asking for change, we just exchanged a few one dollar bills for some quarters. Pool was fun and cheap at only $1 per play. They were missing chalk and the table next to me was missing a few balls which was a surprise due to how new these tables were. They seemed a little understaffed which resulted in less than optimal customer service which is why we headed out shortly after.

It was not particularly busy when I came in and there was a live pianist that evening. I sat at the hightop by the bar. The fish and chips were spectacular with or without the mustard remoulade (which is also good with it). The chips (fries) with their Garlic aioli is always good too. Unfortunately, this is where the good review ends. I enjoy Officer's club immensely and have the goof fortune of having dined here numerous times. This is why at this particular visit, the bad service stood out! My waitress never came back to check on me even to refill my water. I had to catch another waiter's attention to ask for water and to put in my dessert order. The waiter promptly told me that I could always just grav one of the waitstaff's attention if I needed anything. I had figured that if my absentee waitress was going to go on break or leaving (she had alerted me on neither) that she would have at least relayed my table to be tended to by somone else. 5 stars on the food, but an abyssmal 1 star for the service; evening out to 3 stars.

They were knowledgeable, professional, and made some great drink recommendations based on what we liked. You could tell there was real skill and experience behind the bar because my cocktail was absolutely delicious and perfectly made. This was the kind of place where you can sit back, enjoy a great drink, take in the surroundings, and simply enjoy the experience. Between the gorgeous property, impressive bar, beautiful views, delicious cocktails, and wonderful service, we had an amazing time. I would absolutely recommend Embers Lodge Bar and would gladly come back again. It was a memorable experience and easily deserving of five stars!

Like most hotel bars, the drinks and food can be expensive, but the bartenders are on point with the cocktails. Their smoked old-fashioned drinks were good, the Negronis were very crushable, as was its bourbon cousin, the Boulevardier. The shrimp appetizer that my wife ordered was also very good, and a nice starter before we had dinner at the English Pub. It's a good spot to experience sunsets as you knock back a drink or two, or watch the night sky, so long as it's not overcast or raining. If you look closely towards the ceiling-length windows, you can see the Denver skyline in the distance in front of the Rockies that dominate the landscape from afar.
