In addition to this, we offer a comprehensive bar selection, including a variety of craft beers, wines, and spirits.PLEASE NOTE that reserving an outdoor spot guarantees a table outside but does not guarantee a table by the riverside. We offer a 10-minute grace period for reservations. Your party will be seated only when all members are present, due to our hour and a half limit on table occupancy.

Price: Very Expensive

• Contemporary American • Saratoga

Pioneer Kitchen is founded on the bounty of our region and farm-sourced ingredients, as well as taking inspiration from West Coast culinary traditions of sustainability, seasonality, and hyper-local ingredients. Together, these foundations make up what we like to call the “New Rocky Mountain Cuisine”, rooted in freshness and innovation. The cuisine – sometimes rustic and rugged like the terrain, sometimes refined and elegant – blazes the trail for a new expression of what the region has to offer in terms of natural resources and culinary expression. Menu items include Roasted Beet & Melon Salad, Burnt Carrots & Parsnip, Smoked Trout Dip, Charred Wagyu Short Rib, Mushroom Bolognese, and Cedar Planked Ora King Salmon, among many others.
