This had to be one of the greatest meat meals of my life. We were in Mt Crested Butte, an amazing…read moremountain town with an adorable downtown dotted with great dining. 212 Elk Ave is the location of the aptly named 212 restaurant. They specialize in live fire cooking and we were lucky enough to get a booth right across from the action as you will see in the pics. They use a mix of red and white oak to control the heat along with a series of movable grill plates. We started with a delicious Strawberry Salad that also had watermelon radish and delicate greens lightly tossed in a vinaigrette. Coming from Arizona, I had to try the Pozole and thrilled I did. The rich red broth gave light to the chili heart of this very complex liquid. The pozole had great texture and the shredded pork was tender and outstanding. An excellent example of this favorite dish. The most amazing entree was the main course. It was a shareable Half Elk Rack. While I like medium rare, when it was brought to the table, I thought it might be too rare. As soon as I tasted it, I realized it was perfection. It was so tender and the chew was great, especially on the end pieces that had an incredible bark on the outside. Elk is an extremely lean dish so to add some unctuous notes, they take Fois Gras, and as the fat renders, add huckleberries before putting it in a blender to create a heavenly base. We couldn't resist dragging every bite across the serving plate to savor the magic. As a side dish, we ordered the squash which was also perfectly roasted over the live fire and complimented the dish.

We went here for our anniversary dinner and were treated to the front row table inside the…read morerestaurant. To start, I got the SUMMER LOVIN' mocktail - it was refreshing and delicious! I liked how it actually had N/A liquor in it. My husband got the SECRET GARDEN - loved the lavender earl gray. For a starter, we split the BAHN MI QUAIL - super inventive, never had quail before. Kind of hard to eat around the small bones but loved the stuffed flavors! For dinner, we shared two dishes: ELK SAUSAGE & PEPPERS PASTA and PORK CHOP. The pasta was very so-so, nothing that blew me away. However, the pork chop was super tasty - loved the sauce. For dessert, we shared limoncello sorbet - perfect amount of refreshing and loved the fun strawberry powder! Our server was super nice and attentive. Really nice experience overall!

We loved our meal at The Breadery The Flamin' Pickle Martini was out of this world. Hands down one of my all time favorite drinks. There is a kick, but it's not overpowering, same with the pickle flavor. It was top notch. We started out with a few types of the sourdough. They came out hot and perfectly baked. Highly recommend you order the special sourdough of the day (whatever it is, it will be amazing) and to try some of the spreads (if you like beets, you need the beat goat cheese spread). I ordered the spaghetti and added meatballs. The noodles were amazing, the sauce was perfect, and the meatballs added a nice touch. Honestly, you can't order anything bad here, so order whatever sounds the tastiest. It's the best!

When we first arrived, the hostess let us know that they were experiencing staffing issues…read moreinforming us that the food/service might take a little bit longer, but that they'd be happy to get us seated. The patio was gorgeous, and the food was my favorite meal I had while visiting Crested Butte! I was amazed at how quickly we were helped, especially considering them being short staffed on top of them hosting a wedding party. I mostly wanted to leave a review because our server (I believe his name was Daniel) was incredible. As somebody who works in food service, it can feel like a lot of pressure to tend to each guest, but he was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our entire meal! I asked him for a recommendation between 2 brews I was deciding on, and even after I said I trusted his judgment, he STILL brought me both options for me to try, so that I could decide for myself. He recommended we also add the cheese fondue for the pretzel we got as an appetizer, and I would trust the man with my life... lol. I experienced firsthand how wonderful of a server he was, and was absolutely appalled by the treatment he received from the guests at the table next to us. I understand things happen and communication can be difficult when there's so much going on, but they were giving the server a hard time when they received a drink they supposedly hadn't ordered. The server was able to get it removed from their bill, and it seemed like it had been handled politely and quickly. Not long after I saw their food arrive, I watched one of the guests complain about something... Daniel immediately took it back to the kitchen to fix it, but as he walked away I noticed the group of men laughing at him. While Daniel remained patient, and did everything he could to satisfy them, it was incredibly disheartening to see somebody so kind, who'd been working incredibly hard, be treated the way he was. It seemed to me as though they were finding humor in making him run around. While I like to assume best intent, watching them laugh as he addressed their concerns and rushed to fix them made me feel as though they'd done so on purpose. Daniel took it like a champ, and still continued to check in with us throughout the meal. I hope Bruhaus knows how grateful myself and so many others are, to be served by such kind people! THANK YOU

And what a great experience. Very unique menu set up. Of course you don't wanna miss the fried chicken. It was excellent, but it's a lot of food. I never had coleslaw and Caesar salad with cottage cheese on the side to start when we sit down at the table. But whatever it was great and like I said unique. We are in a beautiful part of the dining room on the side and it was very mellow. Some great unique cocktails and a wonderful vibe. Afterwards we're just two blocks from the main street and took a nice walk in the evening. Love this town Love all the people we met and love this restaurant.

Didn't care for the dessert, I've had better ice cream sandwiches from a gas station. I wish they would look at the old menu and recipes a little more. The service was interesting they were there checking on us quite a bit but not our waitress, she disappeared for most of the meal. If things have to change I think it should be better food, not making it cheaper for profits. I definitely still love going to the old restaurant, brings back the old style family dining and heritage of the area. We will be back and do recommend it, just hope they keep things as authentic as they can!!

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.

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.
