Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Castle Pines

Delicious apps: salad, carpaccio & focaccia. Lobster pasta & lamb ragù were spot on. Cocktails & wine were lovely. Definitely recommend

We had an amazing dining experience at Rioja! The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful. We started with the picnic plate as an appetizer, and everything on it was absolutely delicious. Their house-made bread deserves a special mention—it was so good that I wish they sold it on its own. For the main course, I had the black-and-white pasta with seafood. The seafood was exceptional, especially the mussels, which were the best I’ve ever had—tender, fresh, and perfectly cooked. The pasta was equally impressive, tender and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. My husband ordered the grilled Thai pork chop, which was packed with bold, flavorful seasoning and cooked to perfection. All dishes exceeded our expectations, and we left thoroughly impressed. The service was good overall. Justin’s hospitality truly elevated our evening and left us feeling well taken care of. We definitely would love to come back and try other dishes from their menu.

Excellent food, fun service, great atmosphere. I had the fresh oysters which were perfectly cold and salty, followed by the cacio e pepe with shaved black truffles. I would eat everything again.

The dining experience was outstanding. Makayla was our wait person and she really brightened the day. She was very helpful to address allergies and also give us insight into the different dishes. It’s been a while since we’ve been in and I’m so sorry it’s taken this long. My fav was the chicken lettuce wraps, and the many options for non alcohol beverages. .

Food was great the ambience was great with the exception that football is being played on every single screen the exact same game. People enjoy things other than football. Service could have been a little better she didn't come very frequently.
