Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in Castleton / Keystone Crossings

The food was delicious, and the pacing was on point—we didn’t have any stacking of courses (despite it being V-day weekend). The French onion soup was rich and deeply flavored, and we were surprised to learn it was made with a vegetable broth. The prime rib wontons were delicious and balanced, the pork Wellington was a yummy surprise, and the trout with its creamy risotto tower was unique and rewarding. The cocktail list leans heavy to bourbon and whiskey, but the gin cocktail I had was tart and refreshing and perfect. We were a little underwhelmed by the ports, but they were a good value, so we can’t really quibble. Overall, a very delightful experience from start to finish.

Great experience to share with our Colorado family! We started with fries and the wood fired mushrooms. Both appetizers were excellent. Mushrooms had exceptional flavor. For dinner, I had the wings and they were more than enough for dinner. Phenomenal flavor on the wings. One of us had the kimchi meatloaf and enjoyed it. Another person in our party had the lamb and said it was great. Finally, my sister had the mussels and she said they were great with a very flavorful sauce. Brandon provided excellent wait service and we would request him again. Great evening!

Eli took great care of us. He took time to recommend tips on our order which turned out he made the right call. We both had steaks cooked to perfection. Bread pudding could serve a small family. Service, atmosphere and food were amazing. Will be back

We made our first trip to Ash and Elm to celebrate Valentine's Day with my 93yr old mother. The atmosphere was calm and the noise level low, which worked out for easy conversation. The place is really upbeat and cute. It's a very relaxed place- not a place to come grab a quick bite. More of an environment where you want to sit and relax with friends. The service staff are all so friendly and helpful. Our server and the chef took my allergy very seriously and were super helpful in making sure I ordered items that were safe for me. We had generous samples of 6 ciders. My two favs were the Chili Mango and the Earl Gray Orange. Our food was delicious. Highly recommend the Brussels to share. It's a giant portion and they are so good. The smash burger was also fantastic. Nostalgic flavors and textures that I can't adequately describe. We will definitely be back to this hidden gem. The patio looks really nice for the summer too!

We always enjoy Grindstone on the Monon. Tracy was an attentive and friendly server.
