Or, if you're a local, pick out a bottle for porch drinking or dining with friends. There's also a beer cooler in the back with plenty of options if you're not a wino like me. I appreciate that Arlie Dale's has a variety of price points. If you want to ball out on a $50+ bottle, feel free. And for those of us trying to stay on a budget, $15-20 per bottle will also do just fine.

BLUF: very tasty food for the most part. Friendly service…read more Went with a group on a Thursday night. The place was pretty busy, and they weren't ready for us despite us having made a reservation over 2 weeks ago. We waited about another 15 minutes for a table. A few of us tried their mocktails, which were actually very tasty. I recommend the apple flavored one. The pizza in calzones here are the standout. Nice crust on them and plenty of filling. Be aware of the calzone is pretty substantially sized so unless you eat big you could probably split that between two people with maybe a salad or app to supplement it. I love lasagna, and it is my acid test for any Italian restaurant. The lasagna here was very tasty, with a nice sweet sausage inside. But it was awesome very mushy. It could do with another way or to a pasta between the feelings and definitely more cheese on the inside instead of just on top. It wasn't bad by any means, but it was not a standout. I've actually enjoyed Costco frozen lasagna more.

We went in and the woman at the counter was very helpful and sweet, immediately pointing out the local products when we mentioned that's what we were interested in. There were wines from many Colorado wineries including Holy Cross Abbey, Garrett Cellars, Vino Salida, and Mountain Spirit. It's a pretty small store and the aisles are a bit narrow, but they did have a good selection and reasonable prices. I would definitely come back for more local wines if I'm in the area again.

The person behind the counter working the cash register was very nice, patient with our questions, and just had a pleasant demeanor. Ditto for the woman working the bar. I had their sweet potato wedges (great sized portion) and their Uptown chicken reuben sandwich. It was great and the flavors blended nicely. The inside is a bit generic, but that's just the way it is. I'm thinking it's a repurposed McDonalds and they did that well. Folks were friendly and we didn't feel like outsiders. I'd definitely stop by again when we're in the area.

If I can walk away without my anxiety being triggered or my allergies triggered, we have found a gem to return to. Driving from Colorado Springs through Salida, Co to the Sand Dunes, we decided to stop for a later lunch. We stopped by The Boathouse and was rather loud along with no four top outside. The host referred us to Pizza Rio and said they had outdoor seating and it's usually quieter. Heading up the stairs, customers coming down said it's worth it. The host showed us the tables outside and indeed was very quiet and had a beautiful view of the river. When we sat down, the heaters were still on but the server turned them off for us and opened the shade screen. My husband got the Greek salad with a slice of pepperoni pizza. My son got the vodka penne pasta, my mom got the meatball grinder and I got the Greek salad with arugula and spinach and the spaghetti and meatballs. Everything on the menu said it was made in house including the dressings. And WOW!!!! The flavor these dishes had was top notch Italian and dishes were decent/big sized. Cost wasn't as high as we thought, and the server was extremely accommodating. I would recommend this place to anyone passing through. Great job to the cooks, amazing!!! Great service by Connor L, we appreciate all you did with my accommodations and that you were attentive even though you were the only server. We did not feel forgotten about

We walked in and were greeted by the bar cat called Batman - super cute cat but was a little icked out that he was walking all over the bar and his water bowl was on the counter. The bartender was super friendly and we sat chatting with him while we waited for our drinks - two Sterling sours (think whiskey sour with gin - YUM), an In the Woods, and Fennel Countdown. The Fennel Countdown was AWESOME - super unique and creamy. I love the aesthetic of the place with its mismatched chairs and eclectic art. Overall really great vibes and experience.

We were greeted by the bartender and seated right away (despite coming at 5pm on a Saturday) and brought waters. The menu was smaller but had so many tasty options, it was tough to decide what to order. I appreciate their transparency that the menu is always changing and updating. They also bring our food as soon as it's ready, versus waiting to serve an entire table all at once, for optimal freshness. We both felt our food was flavorful, creative and tasty (veggie sandwich, Korean chicken and waffles). If we find ourselves in Salida again for dinner we will absolutely visit The Fritz.
