They have a nice wine list, and they make lots of specialty drinks at the bar. They have nice steaks, and I'll have to tell you the ribeye is more than big enough for two adults! We split the ribeye, and my fiancé and I had to take home a to-go Box! Dark chocolate awaits at the end of the meal, flourless chocolate tort to die for! I'm a huge fan.

We stopped by on Saturday around 6 PM and the manager was so kind to help us put a larger table together. We only waited about 10 minutes. Our server was so sweet. I don't remember her name, but she was extremely knowledgeable about all the cocktails -- and there are many. It's one thing to memorize the ingredients, but quite another to understand flavor, profiles, textures, substitutions, etc. she really knows her stuff and was great at making recommendations. We tried a number of different cocktails, including the Headhunter, Xanadu, London press, lemon ginger NA, and poco loco. Personally, I had the headhunter and Poco Loco. The headhunter was yummy, but not special enough to order again. The Poco Loco, however, was unique and delicious with the habanero infusion so present and the foamy top giving it a melt in your mouth texture. It's pretty warm in there as they have no AC and no fans to circulate the air and it is still summer, plus drinking makes you hotter, so we were a little sweaty, but This is of course, a very temporary feeling as the area does not stay this hot for long. Absolutely can't wait to come back

My buddy and I always like to wrap up our ski trips with a cocktail. While walking the streets of…read moreCrested Butte, Dogwood Cocktails + Kitchen looked inviting. The Dogwood is a cocktail cabin that is located in the heart of downtown Crested Butte. They keep the lights dimmed and have a fun music playlist that creates a nice relaxed atmosphere. The floor creaks as you walk through the cabin and they have cool chandeliers. We were initially told it would be a long wait, but somehow they found a table rather quickly for us. It was cold out, so we appreciated it. The Dogwood has a nice variety of artisanal cocktails on their menu. Our server was very helpful with giving us some options. I didn't have my readers on me and had a hard time reading the menu. So her describing some of the cocktails to me was very helpful. Dogwood has a number of classic drinks, margaritas and martinis. Some of the fun names that I saw were Thor's Hammer, D Cup, Porch Song, Mr. Pink and Beetnik. I ordered the Headhunter and enjoyed my drink. For food, Dogwood has charcuterie-style bites and other light snacks. This was a great find and a nice way to cap off our fun trip to Crested Butte.

The woman who greeted us at the bar was extremely friendly. That said, the pepperoni pizza we…read moreordered was A) on focaccia which wasn't mentioned anywhere, and B) The pizza looked like it had been blow torched black on top, past burnt. We asked about it and our server very grumpily replied "That's how it comes". the salad (without chicken) was the most sub par and small salad I have ever received for $18, adding chicken (which was like minimal precooked strips from Costco) was 7 or 8 dollars. It felt like every staff in there (except for the woman who greeted us) decided they hated us from the second we walked in. I gave an additional star because the folks from the adventure park crushing PBR's in the back were an absolute gem (no joke), and were really sweet with my kids. I get it, you work in a tourist town and it is super vogue to act like you hate tourists and couldn't be bothered. But need I remind you, friend, you moved here 2 years ago from the front range, So miss me with the townie tribalism. Maybe don't go into the service industry in a tourist town if you can't stand people.

We tried it for both brunch and dinner, and had a great experience for both. Service was good during both visits. Dinner had about a 40-minute wait, while brunch had no wait at all. Since it's located in a mountain town, the dress code is definitely casual--but I'd say this is one of those places where you could easily dress it up a little if you wanted to. The atmosphere is fun, modern, and relaxed, with a great location. Definitely worth checking out if you're in town!

My wife and I ate dinner here recently. We probably didn't look the part as we were mostly in town…read moreto hike the next day, but we are seasoned diners. Let's start with the very good. The gazpacho was top notch, fresh and had bright color and flavor. My wife's filet was cooked perfectly with great texture on outside and tender on the inside. I ordered the Colorado lamb sirloin. It was hard to cut through...was it the slightly tough texture or the non-serrated knife (asked for serrated, restaurant did not have)? I think a little of both. I ordered the chimichurrie to go with the lamb. It came in a cute white ceramic vessel shaped a little like an hourglass with an narrow waist and flared bottom and top. At the top, you could see bright green liquid oil without any of the obvious other chunky ingredients of chimichurri. Ahh, you might think that the next step would be to stir it with a small spoon (often paired with the traditional small ramekin of chimichurri)... alas, no small utensils, just our dinnerware. Not only that, but I generously thought that this fine establishment fully intended to present this as their new twist on chimichurri. Not wanting to complain, I sheepishly drizzled the green oil onto my lamb and made the best of it. Only on my last bites of lamb did I discover belatedly that the dressing had separated and discovered the bright greens and garlic layered densely at the bottom. Two take home messages. Future diners: remember to shake the chimi! Elk Ave Prime: if you are going to charge $7 for a sauce, improve your execution so your customers can fully appreciate your culinary skills.

Try the charred sweet potatoes; indescribably delicious. As are the grilled Brussels sprouts with a crispy outer layer of fried leaves with the firm veggies fresh and still juicy at the center. Nice wine list; we had a delicious Malbec. My fiancée and I ordered the waitress to split for us the big ribeye, 18 ounces, medium rare. It came served with impossibly thin, impossibly dry and crispy string potatoes made in the kitchen. It could not have been better, it couldn't have been more tender, more flavorful, and there was so much meat that we took a very generous to-go box home. The Manager, Jonathan, came by our table 2 or three times, checking on this, making sure everything was great, and it was. Including his warm attitude and friendliness! A young man approached our table and offered to pack up the delicious food left over, which he did while engaging in delightful conversation. He said he was from Southern India; his name is SAI. He's clean-cut, courteous and efficient; he was the icing on the cake as far as the staff is concerned. This was a buss person with a career in hospitality ahead of him. We will return time and time again; this is a great restaurant. Free parking, very fresh salads, outstanding steaks and service that leaves nothing undone. A true 5- star eating experience.
