We decided to try Duke's last night for an extended family dinner and I am sad to say we were all…read moredisappointed. We reserved a table for 7. When we arrived, they weren't prepared and quickly pulled a table together but missed a chair and setup. This is simple but speaks to oversight and lack of attentiveness. After borrowing a chair from another table, our group sat down and no later than 30 seconds our server was asking what drinks we wanted to order. It would have been helpful to point out the drink menu or give a recommendation versus demanding to know what we wanted. The interior is noisy and covered in carpet. Over half of our orders came out wrong- wrong protein on the wrong plate with wrong side. And to top it all off, did the kitchen lose their seasoning rack? Nothing was seasoned. The steaks were a poor cut, overcooked, the poor vegetables looked like they were boiled and thrown in a serving bowl, and the baked potatoes were either straight up plain or obviously sitting under a heat lamp because the cheese was dried. I envisioned the kitchen cooking in silo, throwing their portions on a plate with no consideration of the whole meal. It's giving cafeteria food. When we go out, we measure quality by evaluating whether we could cook it as well at home. This failed by a significant margin. I'd love to support local restaurants but at this price point and lack of quality, we'll try elsewhere, anywhere but here.

We will give Sierra a break for awhile. French Dip at 40 dollars should be spot on especially if they make it twice. All other meals we have had are always hot and good. Very disappointed!!

It was very busy at 12:00 on Sunday so instead of waiting for a table we sat at the bar. Charlie and Josh were the best bartenders. They were very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly.

I am very particular about Mexican food and Savina's did not disappoint, and the house margaritas were very good also. The bonus sitting at the bar facing West you had the whole mountain range to look at. The menu is a little expensive but well worth it. We definity will be going back

My wife and I each started with a glass of wine, and then even though we hadn't planned to get an appetizer, we decided to order a side of bread with oil. The bread was amazing! It was a large order, and both the consistency and flavor were fantastic. There were a few different dishes I was considering, including the halibut, but since this was our first visit, I decided to go with the chicken Marsala, which many on here have raved about. First, it was a big portion with two large chicken breasts. On a future visit, my wife and I could split an appetizer or salad and then one order of the chicken. Next, flavor of everything was wonderful. Unlike a typical Marsala, which can be very heavy and overpowering, this sauce was lighter...in color, consistency, and taste. It was a perfect compliment to the chicken. Asparagus and potatoes were delicious too. My wife got the ravioli with pesto, and she really enjoyed her dish as well. Service was warm, pleasant, there when we needed it, but not overpowering, exactly what you'd hope for and expect from a restaurant of this stature. Very happy we finally got here. We'll definitely be back to try other things on the menu.

He came over and was telling us how he makes the sauces himself. He also went into some detail about smoking peppers etc. I was intrigued. I think I had tried one before on a skillet. He said he would bring them to our table to try. He did bring them over as he promised so I tried them one at a time with my fries. All 3 were really good. I broke a sweat, so they past that test. I ended up buying the 3 pack, much better price than the individual prices per bottle. This morning I made myself a ham, egg and refried bean breakfast burrito to try them on. Oh man, so good. I expect I will need to keep some on hand at all times.

I started with a mango, but then switched to the spicy hibiscus. Both were good. My wife enjoyed her standard Tino's margarita. I tried one Chile relleno, which was fine, and a good bargain for $3. We split an order of the queso poblano dip, which tasted ok but had a bit of a grainy consistency. Also on the happy hour menu, it was a good value for $8.50 but not sure if we'd get it again. Always looking for reputable fajitas in Colorado, my wife and I ordered the chicken and steak fajitas and split them. Doing it this way seemed to be a better bargain than ordering the combo fajitas (for one or for two). Both meats were good, and there was enough for both of us. Peppers, onions, guacamole, and the salsa verde were all good too. A little odd the food basically comes ala carte...no rice, beans, etc. we had plenty of food but still noticed the lack of sides. Service was friendly and fine for the most part. There were a few times our primary server disappeared but someone else was around to take our next drink order, get our check, etc. With so few good Mexican options around, I'm guessing we'll be back.

Significant other got the Habanero Pork Belly Breakfast Fried Rice, as someone who can't tolerate spicy food very well but he ended up loving and finishing the dish with no problem at all. I got the Pancake Flight and it was the perfect amount of food and variety for me. My favorites in order was the sweet potato pancake (which surprised me but they had special butters and syrups on each one), Pineapple pancake (both sweet potato and pineapple I would say could hold their own evenly in my book, with a slightly bigger preference for sweet potato), strawberry shortcake. I think I had higher expectations for the strawberry shortcake so it wasn't as high on my list.

Nestled in the…read morepines at elevation in Castle Pines, Park Place has incredible views overlooking the 18th fairway and the Rampart Range in the distance, and is a perfect neighborhood hangout. During golf season the bar and patio is a nice 19th hole destination, but the restaurant attracts its own patrons for lunch and dinner. When the weather is nice the expansive patio is excellent, but the cozy indoor lounge is a great place to meet friends and enjoy a nice meal. There is occasional live music (Friday evenings on the patio in the summer and fall are especially fun). The menu includes a number of starters, salads, sandwiches, and main dishes. I've tried the French Onion Dip and the the Flatbread, and both are good. The Strawberry Caprese is a great salad. You can't go wrong with the Ridge Burger, and I've also enjoyed the Blackened Salmon and the Crunchy Peanut Quinoa (worth a try, even if you aren't the vegetarian type - it's good!). The menu could be a big more robust, and they do have some nice specials during the busy season, but I think Park Place needs some more local support and year-round crowds to support the restaurant. About a mile west of the usual places in Castle Pines, Park Place is a cool option when you want to mix things up.
