I had never been to dream dinners before nor had I tried the food, but I knew what it was; food which was prep'd and ready to cook. On this night we had a very tight schedule and I knew we would need something like this. I looked and the selection and decided on the chicken pot pie. There are 3 in my family so the medium meal was perfect. I got it home and followed the directions for thawing/ not thawing, very light prep, and cooking. I followed the instructions and the meal was wonderful. My only regret is that I sent my friends a Snapchat picture and forgot to take an actual photo

The person who made the yummy brownie I got last time was there and we conversed a little. Both associates were friendly and I was glad to support a local business.

The bolognese was my favorite and I'm really hoping they bring it back because I'm still thinking about it & the only other pasta I dream about was from my trip to Florence. Anyway, I digress... last time I was in, I had a salmon dish that came in a close second. The service was warm and welcoming as was the atmosphere. I love the little booths up top, it gives a great view of the restaurant and the seating is comfortable. I'm not sure if I just get lucky but parking is always super easy. The last several times I've been in. I parked right on the street out front, but there is a lot straight across from the fountain and one across the street the other direction. Downtown Castle Rock is much less stressful than downtown anywhere.

Ecclesia is a wonderful spot downtown castle rock to stop if you want great food, good vibes and…read moresomething for everyone! Ecclesia has over gone a lot of changes since I visited earlier this year, so make sure to be open minded when you visit! First, the book shop *squeel* Adorable! Quaint, cute, decent selection, good children's section and they feature local authors. Support your local bookstores!!! They are wonderful. If you didn't know, this is a mini-food hall of sorts. There are several food vendors: a Bar at the top, a restaurant I've yet to visit alongside it, as well as several spots to eat downstairs. Downstairs they have : - A bagel spot (get there early for the best selection and don't be disappointed if they run out- that's what it means to have fresh baked daily!) - A great BBQ spot (this is coming from a KC native and BBQ critic!) - Apres coffee - a cute coffee shop with alternative milks and Italian sodas options. - A stuffed pita restaurant (I'm sorry I don't know the name!) - Gluttony and Graze, for salads and gourmet hot dogs and burgers - And don't sleep on the cute little kiosk to order Mexican food! I didn't get a chance to check it out, but it's next on my list to try! Though, please note all of these places have different operating hours - though you're mostly safe Wed-Sun. Either call ahead or be open minded when you come in, just in case! Overall, highly recommended. People sleep on it because the outside is unassuming, but you have to try it at least once!
