    The food was excellent. The prices however have gotten very high so be prepared especially if you want a nice bottle of wine.

    Matt is an excellent waiter and a gentleman. He helped us celebrate our son's birthday and was a pleasure. The food was excellent and the restaurant staff is helpful and professional. The restaurant feels homey as always. Best of show in Crested Butte, hands down.

    We sat at the bar and service from Molly and Tina was superb. Tried the apple cranberry crostini dessert and it was yummy. As always, the steak, sides and French Onion soup were perfect.

    Outstanding food and service! Don’t miss the French Onion Soup. Great steaks and seafood. They have a very good, but pricey, wine list. Highly recommend

    Our server was great! The food & Service were on point! West Coast oysters were a treat, being from Texas we don’t get to have those very often.. I highly recommend the Buffalo Ribeye!
