Restaurants near Antero Reservoir Recreation Area

Always a “must visit” for our Breckenridge trip. We dine here several times a year, enjoying both lunch & dinner. The staff are engaged and very pleasant. Service is excellent. Drinks are outstanding, and food ranges from very good to excellent. We had Sunday brunch for 10 today, including 4 small children, & the experience could not have been better. In spite of a busy holiday weekend and full restaurant, we were seated promptly and never rushed. Our server Zach was nothing short of outstanding! Blue River is a consistent great experience and great value. Highly recommend!

We were warmly greeted by the hostess and manager, and promptly seated although we had arrived early. The manager noticed my husbands’ interest in bourbon, and he was very helpful, bringing the extensive list of bourbons and helping with his selection. From the cocktails, to the appetizers and entrees, everything was exceptional. We did not try the prix fixe menu but it looked amazing. This is the place to dine while in Breckenridge, we will be back!

My family and I had breakfast at BoLD Restaurant and Bar and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Every dish was well-balanced and satisfying, making for a great start to a day of skiing. The service was equally impressive—attentive, friendly, and efficient. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot to enjoy a relaxed meal. Overall, I highly recommend for anyone looking for a delicious breakfast with top-notch service. We will definitely be returning on our next trip!

Found The Carlin through Trip Advisor & was impressed with the menu, the pictures of the food, and the reviews. Booked a 6:15 reservation for two at the Counter. When we arrived, I loved the curb appeal - string lights around the front and a beautiful walk up to the front doors. We were a few minutes late, but the hostess was accommodating and took us to our seats. The Counter is in front of about 4 chefs who were working hard when we sat down. Our waitress, Birdie, was super cool, knew the most popular dishes on the menu and shared her personal favorites, which helped us to decide on appetizers, main course and dessert. We had the pickled mussels (weird sounding, but oddly good), the butter lettuce salad that had a citrus honey vinaigrette that was OUTSTANDING, the braised short rib, and one of the fresh catches of the day. My husband loved his old fashioned and his red wine (I can’t really drink at altitude, unfortunately) and since we couldn’t decide on a dessert to share, we got two - the bread pudding and the key lime pie. The flavors in all of these dishes were great and thoughtful. Totally enjoyed the experience and would definitely return!

Yummy! Food was creative and delicious and plentiful! Such a fun atmosphere with friendly waitstaff and beautifully designed surroundings. We will return for sure!
