My London fog tea and one of the chess boards they provide.
Mitchell L.

I have been coming to Emerald for almost a year now every Sunday and Tuesday for their chess club and let me tell you that their organic coffee is superb. The place itself is situated near the yampa river and is a great place to stop in while you browse the weekly Saturday farmers market. The inside is very peaceful and they often play relaxing music at a tolerable level. I've had a lot of great interactions with the owners and they are very welcoming and friendly people always with a smile on their faces and you can really tell they care about the quality and consistency of their products.

Acai bowl

WOW!!!! Rarely am I wowed but this place did it. This place is a hidden gem. The owners are passionate about what they do and how they present it. The menu is robust. The space is open and allows for people to gather. The drinks and the food we had were delicately prepared and presented. I love supporting places where the owners care and the owners are committed to providing a great product. I will absolutely come back here over and over and over. Our group had everything from Armenian coffee to acai bowl to a tea latte to a Somosa. And all were fantastic. We had space to work and talk - earlier that morning we went to a coffee place where we were packed into a small space.

Owner Walter is so very kind, knowledgeable and passionate about quality coffee and his beloved Steamboat!

My Cappuccino was most delicious and the staff are excellent! Very comfortable, bright, clean seating area. Great place to relax with friends and family after walking through Steamboat. There is nice morning sunlight which is refreshing on a cold morning. This is definitely going to become my go-to morning pick me up when I am in town!

Food is so delicous. Almost all of their pasta is handmade. Their staff is always happy and so so…read morenice. Feels like a wee slice of Italy when I eat there. Great food, great vibes, & friendly staff.

Oh, Mambo. You had so much potential…read more.. My wife and I came here for dinner while on vacation in Steamboat. I ordered the chicken piccata, and my wife got the bolognese. The portions are HUGE, and we easily could have shared. The bolognese was decent; you could tell the pasta was fresh, but the sauce was on the acidic side (needed a pinch of sugar to cut it), and there was very little meat to speak of. It seemed far too expensive to be primarily a bowl of noodles and tomato sauce. The chicken piccata was also mediocre-- very salty, and the sauce was lacking in lemon flavor and far too heavy on the butter. Chicken piccata is one of my favorite dishes, and this one was trying so hard to be fancy that it missed the mark on executing what is traditionally a simple dish of crispy chicken cutlets in a lemon white wine butter sauce with capers. Could hardly taste the lemon, and I'd be surprised if there was white wine in it. I only ate half because I feared the butter sauce would wreak havoc on my stomach. The dinner was disappointing, so we gave Mambo another chance by ordering a takeout pizza on our last night with an order of tiramisu. The pizza was also mediocre-- it was extremely greasy with a soggy crust. At $36, it was a pricey mistake. The tiramisu was literally a tub of mascarpone cream and cocoa powder-- not a ladyfinger in sight. I assume this was an oversight in the kitchen, but a straight mouthful of mascarpone cream is not appetizing... I called and spoke to the manager, who agreed to refund the dessert, but overall I would not recommend Mambo based on my two separate experiences.

Wonderful Happy Hour at Truffle Pig! We liked it so much we went two days in a row. Wine is 50%…read moreoff and over the two days we enjoyed an excellent fried cauliflower, pulled pork sliders, wedge salad, bacon wrapped dates & a charcuterie board. The service was great & I think they filled up my water glass every 5 minutes or less. We sat outside and the views were beautiful. The only negative is that HH ends at 5:30 - but that seems to be normal here.

Just left the Truffle Pig on a Tuesday night, and unfortunately it may have been the worst…read morerestaurant experience I've had in years. If you read my other reviews, you'll see that I don't make a habit of criticizing restaurants. I know everyone has an off night. But this experience missed the mark on almost every level. We were a party of four adults and two teenage girls on our last night in Steamboat Springs. The adults planned to enjoy a nice dinner while the girls did their own thing, but we all agreed on one thing: we wanted to eat at the Truffle Pig. The menu looked fantastic, and we were looking forward to a memorable final meal. Our first impression was a little strange. When we arrived, the two hostesses were playing cards. It wasn't offensive--they weren't busy--but it felt odd for a restaurant positioning itself as upscale. We explained that the girls wanted their own table, yet they seated them immediately beside us on the patio. There was only one other occupied table outside and roughly 15 empty ones, but we were seated directly next to that party as well. I politely asked if we could move a few tables away to give everyone some space. I was told they were "managing the servers' sections." The result was three occupied tables packed together while the rest of the patio sat empty. Our server, Dina, was friendly and pleasant. She mentioned there were no specials and took our drink orders. Oddly, after taking everyone's drink order, she returned to the first person and asked what she wanted to drink. She had simply forgotten she had already asked. It seemed harmless at the time. After our drinks arrived, I asked about the bacon-wrapped dates. Dina explained they came in orders of three, but we could add an extra one, so we ordered enough for everyone. Five minutes later she returned and asked if we'd like to order an appetizer. I reminded her we had already ordered the dates. "Oh yeah," she replied. The dates arrived and, to their credit, they were excellent. A few minutes later, Dina came back to let us know our dates should be out soon. Once again, I had to tell her we had already received them. Her response was simply, "Oh good, because I saw they started your entrees." My wife's Spinach & Bib salad with added steak was very good. Our friends ordered the burger and the cauliflower steak. Dina highly recommended the cauliflower steak, but our friend thought it was just average. Then the evening completely unraveled. I ordered the $79 New York Strip, medium rare. It was honestly the worst steak I've ever been served in a restaurant. The center was completely cold--well beyond rare--and it was so undercooked it's difficult to imagine anyone checked the temperature before it left the kitchen. On top of that, the steak was overwhelmingly fatty. I understand a New York Strip has marbling; it's one of my favorite cuts. This was something entirely different. I had to send it back. Remarkably, the teenage girls had also ordered the New York Strip, and theirs was even worse. Instead of preparing a new steak, the kitchen simply threw the already sliced pieces back on the grill. The result was an overcooked, tough, nearly inedible steak. At that point, I declined another steak and asked for the burger instead, specifically requesting no mushrooms. About ten minutes later, my replacement burger arrived covered with mushrooms. I scraped them off and, when Dina checked on us, I pointed out that I had specifically requested no mushrooms. There was no apology--just, "Oh, I know they were in a rush back there trying to get your meal out." That response perfectly summed up the evening. Mistakes happen. Kitchens get backed up. Servers forget things. What matters is how a restaurant responds. Throughout the meal there was no accountability, no manager stopped by, no chef came out, no offer to remake the girls' steaks properly, no complimentary dessert, and no effort to make things right. When Dina returned with our massive check, she apologized for the (wildfire) smoke in the area - really, for the smoke? I can only imagine the owner or Manager was off tonight, as well as the primary chef - or maybe not? For a dinner that approached $500, we didn't just leave disappointed--we left genuinely surprised that an establishment with this reputation handled the situation so poorly. The logo is great. The music and atmosphere are amazing (love the Grateful Dead theme). I just wish the food and service had lived up to them.
