    The saving grace of our night was the green chili pork stew. Otherwise it was a disappointment all the way around. Service was very slow, our tomahawk steak was dry, tough and chewy with little flavor. When we returned it, we were offered another meal but opted for another stew. Then we were offered dessert, but after a significant wait we asked for the check because we had to leave to make a show. 2 hour dinner and we didn’t even get the chance to take dessert to go. We’ve enjoyed roaring fork in the past, but will not be returning.

    Came for an early dinner, post Valentine’s Day. The food was delicious! Service was attentive and all the staff we encountered were very kind. My finance ordered the pork tenderloin which was delicious, however it seemed the portion was a bit small. My pork chop was delicious and portioned well. The valet parking is listed as $10 on here, however it is $20, which is a little deceiving. Overall we had a good experience and would come back!

    We had an afternoon Valentine's dinner and it was great! The scene was lively but the noise level very low because of carpet, tablecloths and acoustic ceilings. Very romantic with roses on the tables. Food was delicious and well presented. Dessert did not disappoint and my husband found a new favorite Zinfandel!
