    We look forward to returning to Geoffrey's section. He provides superb service along with on target suggestion. We dined on Thanksgving from the Dining Room menu. The French onion soup was excellent as was the delicious beet salad. The pasta dish was flavorful with a generous portion. The Colorado trout was as expected with additional flavors. Perfectly light to allow for desserts. Unfortunately we could not order regular desserts ( creme brulee and special cheesecake) yet were very happy with the cherry pie. We will be back for the seasonal menu change and to enjoy those longed for desserts. Valet parking was the added touch to make the evening effortless.

    This was a special dinner for my sister's birthday, a place we'd talked about going to for some time, and we were really looking forward to it! The wait staff were all very nice, informative, and attentive, but... We ordered an appetizer to share the Trumpet Mushrooms, and it was absolutely delicious, a departure from the "normal." We ordered our mains - my BIL ordered the scallops, my sister, the filet mignon, and I ordered the bison NY strip. We sat. And, sat. As others who'd come in after us had their dinners delivered... we still waited. Finally, the waiter said that the steaks had been overcooked and they were remaking them. My BIL's scallops came, and my sister and I still waited. Finally! Our steaks came... but there were 2 filets. I asked about my order of the bison and was told that they'd been out of it for a few day. Huh? Okay, I'll keep the filet. But, dang... a Dijon sauce??? Nope. I don't do anything with vinegar. So, I sent it back and opted for the trout, which was delicious. But, the mistakes and the time it took for our mains was really not good, especially for being first-timers. Will we be back. Yes, I do understand that things happen. But, as a higher end establishment, it should be addressed.

    Musty smell in lobby and restrooms. Slow service. Not knowledgeable about gluten free options. Friendly person did allow for a change of reservation time over the phone. Was excited to show off this establishment to three friends who’d never been there but left a little bit embarrassed.

    I have never had a bad meal. I love the new specialty dinners that have started. The Oktoberfest Cerberus Beer dinner was fantastic and the latest, Alfred Hitchcock themed Wine Dinner was beyond words. We cannot wait for the December 12th Wine Dinner.

    Bison ribeye was very good but the trout dish was very disappointing.
