    Dinner here was delicious. We ordered the sirloin and scallops creating our own surf and turf together. Scallops were grilled well. The pea risotto with the steak was unique and yummy. We also enjoyed wood fired oysters to start - make sure you get at least a dozen. Our overall experience was delightful. The discounted special offered this week was very nice. Thank you!

    Our server, Connor , was excellent. We sat at the bar at the open kitchen. Even the kitchen staff was friendly and engaging. We had the HH oysters and the ceviche, which were both delicious. Main course was the striped bass and the braised pork shank. The accompaniments were as well prepared as the proteins and we enjoyed every bite. Portions are generous. We will be back!

    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!

    Celebrated husband’s birthday. Happy Birthday card and delicious banana bread dessert nice touch. Grouper/butter lettuce salad and trout entrees amazing. Kudos to Amelia for outstanding service. She was energetic, professional, unhurried (tho extremely busy), helpful, efficient. She was always one step ahead of us on our asks. The front desk staff, chefs, ambiance and Amelia made this evening truly memorable. Thank you! We will be back.

    I always get annoyed with junk fees - for some reason restaurants in Breck think it’s ok to understate their prices and the. Hit you with fees.

    We were in to celebrate our anniversary and the entire Carlin team made our night even more enjoyable! The food was fantastic, definitely try the crab claws and braised pork shank, both were outstanding. Highly recommend!
