    Edwin is a new, gorgeous restaurant. The food was amazing! Big portions for elevated mountain fine dining. The Stella Blue pizza was so good and went perfect with a glass of pinot. The space is beautiful and cozy. Cannot wait to come back. The staff went above and beyond to make the kids happy and accommodate my husband’s dairy allergy.

    The Carlin has quickly rocketed to the top of our favorites list in Breckenridge. They have an excellent happy hour every day from 4-6, with a featured special oyster each day, drink and food specials, all presented with exceptional service. We stayed longer for dinner this time and each enjoyed our meals of braised pork, steak, mahi, and salmon. Any one of us could have had one of the other entrees and been pleased--their food is prepared with such care and fresh ingredients. The service is always friendly, professional, and thorough. We've enjoyed exploring a range of oysters, pairing with different drinks and wines, and enjoying the happy hour specials. The environment is calm and classic/modern with pleasant lighting and good noise attenuation. We look forward to giving the downstairs tavern a try soon, too!

    We had a great experience at the Tavern. We were grabbing some drinks and apps before our reservation upstairs at the Carlin and it was hard to leave. The ambience is very appealing, it’s a comfortable space with great food and exceptional cocktails. Our server Sam was very kind, did a great job of explaining the menu and gave great recommendation’s. Definitely don’t miss out on an opportunity to eat/drink here!
