We had our wedding reception dinner here and everything was excellent. Our guests raved about the food and the service was outstanding, the staff was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back and highly recommend them for special events!
The view, the service, the food and of course the Beer. Perfect.
Not sure about the negative service and food reviews, but we had the opposite experience for brunch. Service was great. Food was all delicious. French toast is dangerously good. Patio has one of top views in Denver metro.
I was in the mountains near Golden, doing some photographs. Then I decided to get some brunch. This place looked good on Google. It was a pleasant surprise in person as well. Service is excellent, food is delicious, the view is amazing ...
The chef is skilled and the staff is attentive. Steven went above and beyond to be certain I enjoyed my lunch. The ingredients are high quality and the green chili is the best in town.
We needed something to eat after a long day on the golf course And this place did not disappoint. The cheese curds were awesome and the fish tacos were excellent. The views from the deck are hard to beat.
Really good food, great service. Awesome view from deck. Their inhouse cut and seasoned fries are one of the best of anywhere. Everything top notch quality food. Loved the pastrami ruben.
This place was fantastic! Our server was so nice! Red hair not sure his name. Super great server! The view was so lovely. We sat on the patio in the shade. We had brunch and got the chicken and waffles and breakfast burrito. Both were super tasty! Loved it here!
